平和な世界のための教訓 Heiwa na sekai no tame no kyoukun


Explanation:
The above is the literal translation where the translation of precept is "kyoukun" precept or teaching (such as the teachings Confucius) You might also consider

世界平和のための教訓 Sekai heiwa no tame no kyoukun

Precepts for World Peace

世界平和への道 Sekai heiwa he no michi
The Path to World Peace

The latter is a very natural phrase that you will see on many places on the internet such as
www.taiyonokai.co.jp/sisin.html
And since it uses the word "mich," path or the "Dou" of Dojo, (And the "Dao" of Daoism or the "do" of "Judo"), it does not seem in appropriate for the title of a speech.

But if you are talking about some specifc rules then 教訓 kyoukun = precepts, or 法則 housoku =rules is better.
