We, the undersigned civil society groups from the United States, South Korea, and around the world, are deeply concerned about the dramatic rise in military tensions on the Korean Peninsula. To avoid a potentially catastrophic war that would impact millions of people, we urge the governments of the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea (DPRK, aka North Korea), the Republic of Korea (ROK, aka South Korea), and the United States to immediately suspend all missile tests and war drills that escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula and instead return to the negotiating table and pursue a step-by-step diplomatic approach to build trust, address nuclear risk, and normalize relations. <\/p>\n
As history has shown, diplomacy is the only way to resolve this conflict. Past agreements have resulted in the freezing of North Korea\u2019s nuclear program, the suspension of war drills, and other actions that have de-escalated tensions. They have also led to reunions of separated families, the repatriation of remains of fallen soldiers, and the creation of joint economic zones and liaison offices. What has caused these agreements to fail is a fundamental mistrust driven by the unresolved Korean War. Now is the time for renewed diplomacy between all sides that aims to both reduce tensions and lay the groundwork for a formal end to the Korean War.<\/p>\n
The unresolved Korean War is the root cause of the security crisis on the Korean Peninsula. We call on the United States, North Korea, and South Korea to engage in talks toward formally ending the 73-year-old Korean War by signing a peace agreement, which is the most crucial step toward the ultimate goal of building a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. The lack of peaceful resolution to the Korean War has resulted in increasing militarization and the risk of renewed conflict at any time. The human costs of this unresolved war have included the division of families, the death and mutilation of people due to landmines, forced military conscription, the destruction of farmland and the environment for military bases, and the redirection of resources away from basic human needs towards weapons of death.<\/p>\n
We urge President Joseph Biden, Chairman Kim Jong Un, and President Yoon Suk-Yeol to stop the destructive arms race, take steps now to prevent a potentially catastrophic war, and set the table for peace talks. The year 2023 will mark 70 years of the Korean Peninsula and its people living under the armistice state. It\u2019s time to replace the fragile armistice agreement with a lasting peace agreement. We demand peace in Korea now!<\/p>\n
