The International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace came into fruition when representatives from countries all over the world empathized the necessity of an international network that would provide solidarity and a joint alliance for peace, especially in the face of conflicts that threaten the realization of world peace and human development, such as territorial disputes, religious conflicts, racial tensions, climate change, terrorism, nuclear threats, poverty and famine.
With 450 people from 60 countries around the world participating, including 150 Parliamentarians from 40 countries, the ceremony began with the Foundation Resolution event held at the Korean National Assembly Building on February 15.
