Peace in Korea and NE Asia
US REJECTION OF NK PEACE PROPOSALS BEGINNING IN 1990s, LEADING TO KIM
JONG-UN’S New Year’s address on January 15, 2024 severing ties with the more than
thirty years of peaceful reunification pursued by North Korea’s two previous
leaders, and leading to the urgent need to see the world as others see it, in
order to change our manner of thinking.
“Power Concedes Nothing Without a Demand: Peace in Korea
and Northeast Asia Now!” by Dae-Han Song. Monthly Review (July-August
2024). (Jul 01, 2024). https://monthlyreview.org/2024/07/01/power-concedes-nothing-without-a-demand-peace-in-korea-and-northeast-asia-now/

[This major scholarly article (over 500 Notes), that attempts to
understand NK as their leaders understand it, might seem baffling to US
readers, accustomed as we are to a demonized NK. Anyone growing up in the US anti-communist
propaganda regime will find section after section of the article a shock to their
inculcated system of assumptions regarding that nuclear nation. –Dick]

The
crime of genocide is happening. The intentional destruction of a people, in
whole or in part, is genocide. The law is meant to be used to prevent it, not
just review it after the fact.
We sent over half a million
emails to key governments urging them to invoke the genocide
convention at the International Court of Justice. South Africa did so, charging
Israel with genocide. Nicaragua, Mexico, Libya, Colombia, and others formally
filed declarations of intervention in support of the case. The court has
ordered Israel to cease its genocidal acts, and the prosecutor of the
International Criminal Court has requested arrest warrants. We sent over 200,000 emails urging
governments to use United Nations General Assembly Resolution 377 (Uniting For Peace) which
allows the General Assembly to act when the Security Council fails. The General
Assambly has now passed a resolution, but it does not go far enough.
We now urge you to use
this form to write to government consulates to the UN to tell them at long last
to act in a manner worthy of the crisis at hand.
World BEYOND War is a global network of volunteers,
chapters, and affiliated organizations advocating for the abolition of the institution
of war.
