WELCOME TO

THE

WORLD SUMMIT 2013

  • WORLD SUMMIT

  • PEACE

    The Universal Peace Federation (UPF) is a global network of individuals and organizations dedicated to building a world of peace in which everyone can live in freedom, harmony, cooperation, and prosperity. Peace is not simply the absence of war or a term that applies only to the relationships among nations. Peace is an essential quality that should characterize all relationships.
  • SECURITY

    UPF recognizes the need for careful and measurable use of enforcement such as political, military, and civil power to sustain lasting peace. UPF has been a leading exponent of “track two” diplomacy, with particular emphasis on the role and responsibility of religious and spiritual leaders to transcend historical self-interest and pursue the ideal of “One Family Under God.”
  • DEVELOPMENT

    Development needs to be seen in relationship to peacebuilding and a broadened vision of human security that complements social, political, and economic components. Furthermore, virtues such as honesty, generosity, courage, fortitude and empathy are core strengths or capacities that are needed in order for a social system to function well and result in political, social and economic development.

  • WHY KOREA?

    The Korean peninsula is a microcosm of the core global issues of peace, security, and development, with stark contrasts between north and south and periodic threats of conventional or nuclear battles. What better setting for sharing insights and best practices and for building partnerships that can lead to genuine progress?
