Antigua and Barbuda Lends Its Voice to Global Peace
Antigua and Barbuda has reaffirmed its commitment to peacebuilding on the international stage, joining more than 800 global leaders at the 11th HWPL World Peace Summit in Cheongju, South Korea.
Representing the nation were Osbert Frederick, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Chaneil Imhoff, On-Air Host and Producer at ABS Television and Radio.
Frederick, speaking at the Global Peace Education Conference, drew on his career as an educator to stress the importance of teaching peace: “If we wish to see a world of peace, we must teach peace.” Imhoff contributed to the development of a peace journalism framework and is covering the summit for ABS, ensuring Antiguans and Barbudans remain part of the global conversation.
The two-day gathering, held under the theme “Uniting for Peace and Fulfilling Humanity’s Duty Together,” spotlighted initiatives such as peace education in schools, interfaith dialogue through HWPL’s WARP Offices, and institutional support for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW).
Antigua and Barbuda, through PARLATINO, formally endorsed the DPCW in 2024, strengthening its alignment with regional and international peace goals.
For Antigua and Barbuda, involvement in this summit is more than symbolic—it reinforces ongoing local efforts in peace education, youth empowerment, and community resilience, while amplifying the nation’s voice as a regional advocate for peace.
