The series of peace conferences are being organised by an international peace NGO called Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light, (HWPL) under the United Nation’s ECOSOC in collaboration with various organisations.
Ethiopia was hosen to host the conferences due to recent bomb attack caused by ethnic conflicts which resulted in a number of casualties.
On the 15th, groups of youth and women will talk about the ethnic and regional conflicts and discuss the legalisation of peace initiatives necessary for harmony and reconciliation among nations.
The host organisation, HWPL, is proposing the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) as a resolution for establishing a legally binding law for peace that can fundamentally prevent war and conflict.
On the 16th, there will be a forum for inter-faith dialogue to promote a network among Christian denominations to be one.
The 2018 Addis Ababa Summit is to strengthen a cooperative partnership for regional stability and peace by reaffirming the importance of the implementation of an international/internal law for peace.
