전 세계의 110개 평화단체들과 146인의 평화운동가들은 당면한 동북아와 한반도 위기에 대해 무력 사용을 반대하고 외교적 해결을 촉구하였습니다. 전 세계 평화와 군축을 위해 활동하는 이들은 이번 서한을 통해 지금의 위기가 오판과 우연에 의해 핵전쟁으로까지 비화된다면 전 세계는 핵참화를 피하기 어려울 것이라고 우려하며 △선제적 무력 사용 반대, △도발적인 군사연습 중단, △동북아비핵지대안 검토, △한국전쟁 종전, △6자회담 재개, △유럽연합의 외교적 협상 지원 환영, △외교적 해결 우선 등 7개 요구사항을 제시하였습니다.

이들은 이러한 입장을 담은 서한을 지난 9월 7일 남⋅북⋅미⋅중⋅러⋅일 등 6개국 대통령(또는 수상)과 유엔주재 대표, 유엔안보리 회원국, 안토니오 구테레스 유엔 사무총장 그리고 페데리카 모게리니 유럽연합 외교안보 고위대표에게 보냈다고 밝혔습니다. 

이번 공동서한에는 퍼그워시 회의(Pugwash Conference), Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament(영국), Coalition for Peace Action(미국), 원수폭금지협의회(일본), 참여연대(한국) 등 전세계 24개국에서 활동하는 평화단체들과 1976년 노벨평화상 수상자인 메어리드 코리건 매과이어(Mairead Corrigan Maguire)를 비롯한 대표적 평화운동가들이 함께 하였습니다.

동북아 상황의 외교적 해결을 호소합니다

 

전 세계에서 평화와 군축을 위해 활동하는 ‘어볼리션(Abolition) 2000’의 회원단체들을 대신하여 미국과 북한에 동북아가 직면하고 있는 전쟁 직전의 상황에서 한 걸음 물러나, 대신 전쟁을 막기 위한 외교적 접근법을 택하라고 촉구합니다. 

 

우리는 군사 갈등이 발발하는 것을 막고 나아가 근본적인 갈등을 해결하기 위해 즉시 협상에 나설 것을 요구합니다. 그러한 협상은 양자 간은 물론 중국, 일본, 북한, 러시아, 한국, 미국을 포함하는 새로운 6자회담 틀을 통해 이뤄져야 합니다. 

 

북한의 핵‧미사일 능력을 두고 고조되는 긴장과 군사 갈등 위협은 외교적 해법이야말로 필수적이며 최우선임을 다시금 일깨워줍니다. 전쟁 위기가 높아지고 오판과 우연, 또는 의도에 의해 핵무기가 사용될 수도 있다는 사실은 매우 끔찍한 일입니다. 

 

1950년에서 1953년까지 이어진 한국전쟁에서 목숨을 잃은 사람들의 수는 남북, 중국, 미국 등 다 합해 총 300만 명을 넘습니다. 만일 전쟁이 다시 발발한다면, 특히 핵무기가 사용된다면 사망자 수는 훨씬 더 많을 것입니다. 한반도에서 발발하는 핵전쟁은 핵 참사로 전 세계를 집어 삼킬 것이며 이는 우리 모두가 알듯이 문명의 종말을 가져올 것입니다. 

 

전쟁보다 외교적 해법을 지지하며, 우리는 다음과 같이 요구합니다.

1. 우리는 그 어느 측의 선제적 무력 사용에도 반대합니다. 이는 역효과를 낳을 것이며 상황을 핵전쟁으로 이끌 것입니다. 
2. 우리는 모든 측에 군국주의적 수사와 도발적인 군사 연습을 그만두기를 촉구합니다. 
3. 우리는 중국, 일본, 북한, 러시아, 한국, 미국이 3+3 방식의 동북아 비핵지대 수립을 위한 단계적이고 포괄적인 접근법을 검토하기를 권합니다. 이는 일본과 한국에서 두 개 이상의 정당의 지지를 받고 있으며 북한 정부도 관심을 가지고 있습니다. 
4. 우리는 중국, 일본, 북한, 러시아, 한국 그리고 미국이 또한 한국전쟁(1950-1953)을 공식적으로 끝내도록 1953년 정전협정을 전환하기 위한 가능한 옵션과 양식을 고려할 것을 권합니다. 
5. 우리는 6자회담을 재개하라는 유엔 사무총장의 요구와, 협상을 지원하겠다는 그의 제안을 환영합니다. 
6. 우리는 이란 핵 프로그램 협상을 성공적으로 이끌었던 것처럼 외교적 협상을 지원하겠다는 유럽연합(EU)의 제안 역시 환영합니다. 
7. 우리는 유엔 안전보장이사회에 갈등에 대한 외교적 해결을 우선시할 것을 요구합니다. 

 

* 3+3 틀은 일본, 한국, 북한이 핵무기를 보유하거나 반입하지 않고, 중국과 러시아, 미국이 일본, 한국, 북한에 핵무기를 배치하지도, 이들을 핵무기로 공격하겠다고 위협하지도 않을 것을 요구합니다.

Appeal for a diplomatic solution in North East Asia

 

The Abolition 2000 members and affiliated networks listed below, representing peace and disarmament organisations from around the world, call on the United States and North Korea to step back from the brink of war in North East Asia, and instead adopt a diplomatic approach to prevent war. 
 
We call for the immediate commencement of negotiations to prevent a military conflict from erupting, and to resolve the underlying conflicts. Such negotiations should take place both bilaterally and through a renewed Six-Party framework involving China, Japan, North Korea, Russia, South Korea and the United States.
 
The escalating tensions and threat of military conflict over North Korea's nuclear and missile capabilities makes a diplomatic solution of vital importance and the highest priority. The increasing risk of war - and possibly even the use of nuclear weapons by miscalculation, accident, or intent - is frightening. 
 
More than three million citizens of Korea, China, USA and other countries lost their lives in the Korean War from 1950-1953. Should a war erupt again, the loss of lives could be considerably worse, especially if nuclear weapons are used. Indeed, a nuclear conflict erupting in Korea could engulf the entire world in a nuclear catastrophe that would end civilization as we know it.
 
In supporting diplomacy rather than war, we:
 

1. Oppose any pre-emptive use of force by any of the parties, which would be counter-productive and likely lead to nuclear war;
2. Call on all parties to refrain from militaristic rhetoric and provocative military exercises; 
3. Encourage China, Japan, North Korea, Russia, South Korea and the United States to consider the phased and comprehensive approach for a North-East Asian Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone with a 3+3 arrangement*, which already has cross-party support in Japan and South Korea and interest from the North Korean government;
4. Encourage China, Japan, North Korea, Russia, South Korea and the United States to also consider options and modalities for turning the 1953 Armistice Agreement into a formal end to the 1950-1953 Korean War;
5. Welcome the call of the UN Secretary-General for a resumption of Six-Party talks and his offer to assist in negotiations;
6. Welcome also the offer of the European Union to assist in diplomatic negotiations, as they did successfully in the negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program;
7. Call on the United Nations Security Council to prioritise a diplomatic solution to the conflict

 
* The 3+3 arrangement would include Japan, South Korea and North Korea agreeing not to possess or host nuclear weapons, and would require China, Russia and the USA agreeing not to deploy nuclear weapons in Japan, South Korea or North Korea, nor to attack or threaten to attack them with nuclear weapons.
