Dr. Hak Ja Han, co-founder of the Universal Peace Federation, has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Ján Figeľ, former European Union Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief and president of FOREF Europe.

The nomination recognizes Dr. Han’s decades-long contributions to international peacebuilding, interfaith dialogue, humanitarian cooperation, and reconciliation efforts, particularly in relation to the Korean Peninsula.

In his submission, Dr. Figeľ highlighted several key initiatives:
✅ Interfaith cooperation: Appointment of thousands of Peace Ambassadors worldwide to bridge religious and cultural divides
✅ Korean Peninsula peace initiatives: Organization of international “Rally of Hope” summits promoting peaceful reunification
✅ Humanitarian recognition: Establishment of the Sunhak Peace Prize honoring global peace advocates
✅ United Nations engagement: Collaboration of UPF and the Women’s Federation for World Peace through General Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)
✅ 38th Parallel Peace Initiative: Proposal to create an international peace park in the Korean Demilitarized Zone
✅ Cultural diplomacy: Global outreach through the Little Angels Children’s Folk Ballet of Korea

“Dr. Hak Ja Han has demonstrated a lifelong commitment to peacebuilding rooted in dialogue, cooperation, and respect for human dignity,” said Dr. Figeľ. “Her work has consistently brought together leaders and communities across ideological, religious, and political divides.”
