Urging Statement of concluding Cessation of War, Peace Agreement in The Korean Peninsula

 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics is coming up in 50 days.

 The XXIII Olympic Winter Games will be held for 17 days from the 9th to the 25th of February 2018 in PyeongChang, Gangwon Province, the Republic of Korea (South Korea). PyeongChang was selected as the host city of the 2018 Olympic Winter Games after receiving a majority vote at the 123rd IOC Session held on the 6th of July 2011 after three consecutive bids. The Olympic Winter Games will be held in Korea for the first time in 30 years after the Seoul Olympic Games were held in 1988. PyeongChang will be the stage for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and most snow sports. Alpine speed events will take place in Jeongseon, and all ice sport themed competitions will be taking place in the coastal city of Gangneung.

 

 Many people from all over the world are interested and more importantly wishing the Olympics this time around be recorded in world history as the Peace Olympics along with the regular 2018 PyeongChang Olympics.

 

 

 In this regard, IWPG(International Women's Peace Group) announced the 『Urging Statement of concluding Cessation of War, Peace Agreement in The Korean Peninsula』.

 

Here are some of the details:

 

The Whole Statement

 

『Urging Statement of concluding Cessation of War, 

Peace Agreement in The Korean Peninsula』

 

(Corp.) International Women's Peace Group is urging as stated below for you to join in campaigns of 'Concluding Cessation of War, Peace Agreement in the Korean Peninsula' and 'Ten Million Signature Campaign' wishing 2018 Pyeongchang winter Olympics recorded in world history as a Peace Olympics which is coming up in 50 days.

 

IWPG is strongly denouncing nuclear provocation of North Korea.

North Korea has threatened and provoked the world by 6th nuclear test and ballistic missile test. By those tests, the Korean Peninsula became an explosive storage.

 

IWPG is strongly opposing production and proliferation of nuclear weapon which threatens world peace and also denouncing armed provocation of North Korea which threatens peace in not only Korean Peninsula but also the world.

 

The war in Korean Peninsula has to be ended ASAP.

 

After Korean War in 1950, North Korea and South Korea who is same race are pointing guns to each other up to now caused by a ceasefire agreement among UN(United States), North Korea and China on July 27, 1953.

 

We need to hand down united nation to future generations.

 

Are you not ashamed in front of ancestors and future generations that we are the only one nation in the world which is divided in half for the longest time (for 65 years)?

 

If you are the leader who loves your country and people, in order to hand down united nation to future generations, the leaders have to come ASAP to the table of forum to make an agreement on cessation of war and peaceful unification in Korean peninsula.

 

IWPG is urging peace treaty through conference of 

South Korea, North Korea, United States and China.

 

From 1974, North Korea has tried to make peace treaty 

with United States excluding South Korea.

 

In 1997, the representatives of South Korea, North Korea, United States and China which were involved in Korean War had 4-way-conference to conclude peace agreement. However, it was not successful.

 

For this matter, IWPG is strongly urging those countries (South Korea, North Korea, United States and China) to have 4-way-conference abolishing ceasefire agreement and making agreement of peace treaty ASAP.

 

Through peace treaty, if we eliminate destructive weapons including nuclear bomb in Korean Peninsula, have people to reunite with separated families from war and accomplish nongovernmental exchanges for the starter, 

we can overcome differences in culture caused by division for long time and peaceful unification will become reality in no time.

 

For those, IWPG is urging you to join in campaigns of 'Cessation of War, Peace Agreement in The Korean Peninsula' and 'Ten Million Signature Campaign'.
