Founded in 2009, Global Peace Foundation (GPF) is an international non-sectarian, non-partisan, nonprofit organization, that promotes an innovative, values-based approach to peace building, guided by the vision of One Family under God. GPF engages and organizes a global network of public and private sector partners who develop community, national, and regional peace building models as the foundation for ethical and cohesive societies.
Approach for Reunification
GPF Chairman Dr. Hyun Jin P. Moon published Korean Dream: A Vision for a Unified Korea in 2014. The book presents the division of Korea in historical context and outlines a groundbreaking approach for reunification that transcends the Cold War division, and places Korea’s destiny not as a struggle of great powers but in the hands of the Korean people. The Korean Dream looks to the ancient Korean ethos of Hongik Ingan, or “living for the greater benefit of humanity,” as a guiding principle to build a Korea that can benefit the world.
In 2020, a Centennial Edition of the Korean Dream was published in English and Korean, updated with a new section chronicling the ongoing work around the world since the publication of the first edition. The Global Peace Foundation applies this comprehensive, vision-based approach to the resolution of long-standing Korean peninsula issues.
GPF’s Global Peace Awards honor government, civil society, and faith leaders whose exemplary efforts have significantly improved the lives of others. Global Peace Awards underscore the importance of moral and innovative leadership, an ethic of public service, and a willingness to transcend boundaries of religion, ethnicity, culture, and nationality in advancing the ideal of One Family under God. Challenging conditions that limit human potential and social development, award winners demonstrate lives of integrity and a sustained commitment to realizing a world of peace.
