[124] Words of Hak Ja Han Book 1 - Global Unity Through True Parents Part 4 : The Process of Realizing World Peace Chapter 1 : The End of the Cold War and World Peace
4. Efforts for a UN office in Asia
The world today is experiencing confusion due to environmental pollution, conflicting ideologies, wars and political conflicts. This is also the reason we must attend True Parents as the center. Otherwise, the path to global unity will become prolonged.
In order to attract the attention of the world, and particularly that of Asia, to the issue of the unification of the two Koreas, I declared that the 5th UN Office must be opened in Korea. All nations in Asia would wish to have a UN Office opened in their countries too.
However, through the rally to promote the launching of the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace, this issue was well presented and all participating countries, including those in Asia, were inspired to help Korea.
This is because it is the nation where True Parents were born and also because God must realize His Will through this nation at all costs. This nation, however, hasn't realized the importance of the position it is standing in. Hence, we must let it know. (2016.04.10, Beom-ll-Jeon, Busan)
The UN was established after World War II and is already celebrating its 70th year. And, whereas, there are UN Headquarters Offices in New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi, there is no such office in Asia.
Yet, when we observe the current state of the world, the geopolitical, economic and political center of gravity of our world is shifting toward Asia.
With this in mind, UPF and other affiliated organizations of our movement are advocating that the establishment of a 5th United Nations Office in the land where, 66 years ago, the UN intervened, shedding blood, sweat and tears for peace, be considered.
