The participants in the World March for Peace and Nonviolence (WMPN, www.theworldmarch.org) continue their journey after viewing North Korean territory from Kangwha Island on Oct. 16, one day after the delegation's arrival in South Korea.

WMPN consists of approximately 40 peace organizations, including World Without Wars, who initiated the march. About 20 participants began the march in New Zealand on Oct. 2.

During their journey through South Korea, which will continue through Oct. 21, the group plans to publicly release a declaration during their visit to the DMZ on Oct. 18, and will proceed afterwards to visit the site of the Yonsan tragedy.

The march will conclude on Jan. 2, 2010 in Chile after the group has traveled to sites in 100 countries.
