Peace BAR Festival

Kyung Hee University is honored to commemorate the UN International Day of Peace by

hosting the 2018 Peace BAR (spiritually Beautiful, materially Affluent, humanly Rewarding)

Festival.

For our 37th festival, we will be holding a commemorative ceremony and an international

conference on the topic of “The Korean Peninsula in an Age of Transformative Civilization.”

Together with the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS), an organization that has

approached the future of humanity from a comprehensive perspective, and the Confer-

ence of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the UN (CoNGO), an organization that has

helped realize the unity of global civil society, we will be examining the changes that have

taken place on the peninsula since the signing of the Panmunjom Declaration and discuss

the values and philosophy necessary for a sustainable global society.

A new civic mindset and global action are needed more now than ever. We invite you to

join us for this year’s Peace BAR Festival as we reflect on the future of the peninsula as

well as the future of our world.

The Background of the International Day of Peace

The International Day and Year of Peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations

under the proposal of Kyung Hee University. At the 6th Triennial Conference of the Inter-

national Association of University Presidents in 1981, Kyung Hee University proposed the

founding of the UN International Day and Year of Peace. The proposal was submitted to

the UN as the Costa Rican Resolution by IAUP, and the UN established the International

Day and Year of Peace at the 36th UN General Assembly on November 30 of the same

year.

The UN General Assembly declared in its resolution 36/67 that the International Day of

Peace has been established to “commemorate and strengthen the ideals of peace both

within and among all nations and peoples,” and invited “all Member States, organs and

organizations of the United Nations system, regional organizations, non-governmental

organizations, peoples and individuals to commemorate in an appropriate manner the

International Day of Peace, especially through all means of education.” Since then the UN

proclaimed every third Tuesday of September as the ‘International Day of Peace’ (fixed as

September 21st in 2001) and 1986 as the ‘International Year of Peace.’

The forecast of IAUP that the weakening of the Cold War system would contribute to world

peace was timely. At the time when the International Day and Year of Peace was being

proposed, the tension between East and West also faced a new era with the proclamation

of the International Year of Peace. On January 1, 1968, US President Reagan and Soviet

General Secretary Gorbachev shared New Year’s greetings of peace to each other’s na-

tion. The two countries then held disarmament talks to ban all ballistic missiles and made

efforts to end regional conflicts, paving the way for peace.

Objective

“Spring on the Korean Peninsula” and the Shiftin Civilization

With the announcement of the Panmunjom Declaration last April, “Spring on the Korean Penin-

sula” has gained international attention as a momentous shift for the future of humankind. Now,

as we stand before the possible end of an old order and the beginning of a new one, the adop-

tion of a new perspective that is both comprehensive and focused on long-term potential is

needed more now than ever.

More important than re-establishing the relationship between country and region, however, is the

need to come together for the sake of peace. Continuing on with power-based politics and lim-

ited economic policies will only prevent us from building a sustainable future. The use of arms to

suppress war cannot be mistaken for peace; true peace is realized only when both people and

nature can benefit and people around the world coexist peacefully.

We come together at the 2018 Peace BAR Festival (PBF) to discuss the future: What kind of

future does humanity truly desire? This year, we invite international and national scholars, stu-

dents, and citizens to discuss ‘Spring on the Korean Peninsula’ as a shift for all of humankind.

We will be asking questions regarding the philosophy and values needed for world peace, the

people who will realize this peace, and the possibility of building a global society. We look for-

ward to your participation.
