Family Peace Association

The Family Peace Association is an international peace organization. It was inaugurated on December 2, 2017, in Seoul, South Korea, where it announced its mission: "To enlighten humanity by uplifting their spiritual consciousness through universal principles and values rooted in God-centered families.". The co-founders of the Family Peace Association are Hyun Jin Moon (one of the sons of Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon) and Junsook Moon. Jinman Kwak is its president.

The Family Peace Association is one of the successors to the HSA-UWC (widely known as the Unification Church and informally as the Moonies). The others are the Rod of Iron Ministries, led by Hyun Jin Moon's brothers Hyung Jin Moon and Kook Jin Moon, and The Women's Federation for World Peace led by their mother Hak Ja Han. Hyun Jin Moon also founded the Global Peace Foundation, in 2009.

It was suggested that the Family Peace Association could play a leadership role in the reunification of the Korean peninsula through a focus on reuniting families divided between North and South.
