세월호 참사 6주기 추모를 위해, 본 영상의 시청을 선뜻 허락하여주신 이승준 감독님과 비젼필드(New York: FIELD OF VISION) 관계자 여러분들께 감사드립니다.
[Acknowledgement]: We should be obliged by your authorization for our screening this film to commemorate the 6th Anniversary of the sinking of the M.V. Sewol, a maritime disaster of the Sewol Ferry DE the never-to-be-oblivious DIE on A.D. XVI KAL. MAI. MMXIV. Thank you.
우리는 수중에서 더듬더듬해서, 머리에서 그려진다 말입니다. 머리에서 그려지는게 … 자꾸 제 머리속에서 생각나고 … 하루에 한 번 들어가야될 현장을 많게는 4~5번도 들어가는 분들도 있어요. 다른 잠수사들이 그런 얘기를 해요, 저한테. “왜 그렇게 일 했나고?” 아니 사람이 없는데 그럼 뭐 어떻게 할꺼야? … 진짜 중요한 거는 살릴 수 있던 아이들을 살릴 수 있었으면, 우리같은 사람들이 있었을 필요 없었겠지. 제대로 구할 수만 있었었다면… 그런데 그 누구도 구하지 않고, 상황보고, 보고, 보고…
김관홍 시민잠수사 인터뷰 中
“We had to grope around and imagine in the dark water. Those images in my mind are… They are stuck in my mind. I’m supposed to dive only once per day but had to dive 4, even 5 times per day. Other divers told me that I shouldn’t have worked that hard. But what could I do when there were not enough divers? The important point was that we would not have been needed if they had saved the kids they could have saved. Only if they have saved them… But they didn’t. They just kept reporting on the situation,” recalled KIM GWAN-HONG Civilian diver.
내 남편 김관홍 잠수사를 잊지 않고 기억해 주시는 모든 분들께 정말 감사합니다. 그토록 기다리던 세월호가 3년만에 깊은 바다속에서 올라왔어요. 처참한 모습으로 떠오른 그 배를 보러 목표 신항에 갔습니다. 가까이 다가가 세월호를 봤는데, 당신을 생각해 온 마음과 몸이 무너지고 아팠습니다. 거짓은 내려가고, 진실은 올라왔는데, 더 좋은 세상이 왔는데, 오고 있는데, 당신과 함께할 수 없다는 사실이 너무도 안타깝고 아쉽습니다. 이제 그곳에서 아프지 말고 편히 쉬라고 말하고 싶어요. 남편이 남긴 마지막 말 제가 다시 한 번 반복하고 싶습니다.
“뒷일을 부탁합니다”…
故 김관홍님의 아내 김혜연님의 추모사 中
“I am very much grateful to all of you who are here to commemorate my late husband. My love, the Sewol had finally emerged from the deep sea. I went to Mokop New Port to see the wrecked Sewol. The Sewol reminded me of you, and I felt sick in my heart and body. The untruth has sunk, and the truth has been salvaged. A “better” time has come, or is coming, but I am so sorry that you are not with me anymore. Please rest in peace and good health there. I would like to repeat my husband’s last words: Please take good care of future affairs,” condoled KIM HYE-YEON Wife of late KIM GWAN-HONG.
▶ 박 대통령이 퇴임 한 지 2 주 만에 세월호 구조가 시작됐다. 배가 가라 앉은 지 3 년만이다.
After five months of protests demanding the impeachment of President Park Geun-Hye, an investigation found her guilty of grand corruption, blacklisting, and misuse of power. Two weeks after President Park was removed from office, the salvage of the Sewol began. It was three years after the sinking.
배는, 바지[선]는 가만히 있고 잠수사들만 나올때 비바람 치고 파도 치고 이렇는데, 작은 새들이 날라와요… 작은 새들이… 그 주위에… 강풍에, 비바람에. 작아요, 새가 아주, 대개 예뻐요, 그 새소리도 예뻐요. 비 소리에 저들이 울부짓는게, 자기내들을 두고 떠나지 말라고…
故 김관홍 시민잠수사 (1973–2016)
“When we left the scene, there were small birds in the rain and wind. Those tiny birds… were flying around… in the storm. The birds were so tiny and beautiful. And their call so touching… But it sounded like the students’ wailing, asking me not to leave them behind.”—Late KIM GWAN-HONG (1973–2016) Civilian diver.

약 4년전인 지난 2016년 6월 17일, 故 김관홍 시민잠수사님께서는 세월호 침몰 후 2년만에 사고 트라우마로 스스로 생을 마감하셨습니다.
About four years ago, on 17 June 2016, our hero, the late KIM GWAN-HONG, did away with himself two years after the Sewol ferry incident, as suffering from trauma.
모든 희생자들과 삼가고인의 명복을 빕니다.
May all the victims and souls rest in peace.

감사합니다. 잊지 않겠습니다.

국제시민사회 연명 공개서한
개발도상국 등지에서 전지구직인 코로나19 전염병에 맞서 싸우는 한국의 헌신에 대한 요구사항
문재인 대통령님께,
코로나19 유행병에 대항 한 전 세계적 투쟁에 대한 대한민국의 약속과 요청사항과 관련하여, 우리는 국제 시민 사회 단체 (CSO) / 비정부기구 (NGO)와 연합, 아시아 태평양, 아프리카, 남미, 북미, 중동 및 유럽 지역의 다른 국가의 개인을 대신하여 이 서한을 쓰고 있습니다.
코로나19 사태에 대한 한국의 신속하고 민주적인 대응에 세계가 깊은 인상을 받았다고 말하는 것은 결코 과언이 아닙니다. 주요 민주주의 가치인 언론의 자유, 정보 접근성, 투명성, 의료 테스트 및 모든 사람에 대한 관리에 우선순위를 뒀던 한국정부의 리더십을 통해 대한민국은 폐쇄조치를 통해 시민의 자유를 억누르지 않고 바이러스를 수용하는 모델이되었습니다. 이번 총선에 있어서도, 코로나 바이러스가 민주주의와 인권을 막을 수 없다는 것을 보여주는 또 다른 긍정적인 신호였습니다.
이 리더십 모델과 민주적 수단을 통해 이해관계를 떠나 시민들의 선호와 우선순위에 관한 결정은 사람들 사이의 연대와 신뢰의 감각을 조성하는 데 핵심적인 역할을 해왔으며 위기의 완화와 협력을 강화했습니다. 코로나19에 대한 한국의 성공적인 관리는 점진적인 정상화에 대한 희망이 있음을 증명했습니다. 국제사회는 한국의 경험을 통해 많은 것을 배울 수 있으며 모범 사례를 교환하는 데 더 많은 협력을 희망하고 있습니다.
또한, 국제 협력의 중요성에 중점을두고 G20 정상회의(2020 년 3 월 26 일)과 ASEAN + 3 정상회의(2020 년 4 월 14 일)에서도 코로나19 전염병에 대한 ODA (공적개발원조)를 통해 인도 주의적 지원을 약속했습니다.
코로나19와의 전쟁에서 전세계 이웃을 지원하고 지원하려는 한국의 노력에 있어서, 우리 시민사회가 필요한 원조와 서비스를 제공하고 대중의 인식과 교육을 증진하며 정부 정책을 모니터링하는 데 중요한 사전 역할을 수행 할 수 있다고 믿습니다. 그리고 코로나19에 대한 대응과 사회에서 취약하고 배제된 사람들의 인권을 옹호합니다.
전 지구적 위기의 시대에, 유엔의 기본 정신인 ‘Leaving No One Behind,’ 지속가능발전목표(SDGs), 핵심 인도주의 표준 (CHS)과 인권에 기반한 인권에 근거한 접근 방식에 따라 국제적인 흐름에 다라 사회경제적 영향에 대처하는 데 시민사회와 정부 간의 공공의 신뢰와 파트너십이 필수적이라 할 것입니다.
이와 관련하여 다음과 같이 한국정부에 촉구합니다.
1. 인권과 민주주의 원칙을 존중하면서도 코로나19 유행병에 효과적으로 대처하는 데 주도적인 역할을 수행한다.
2. ODA를 통해 인도 주의적 지원을 유지하거나 증가시켜, 특히 전 세계의 어려운 문제를 극복하는 데 가장 취약한 최빈국과 취약한 국가에서 도움을 요청한다.
3. 시민 공간을 보호하고 코로나19 유행병의 악영향을 해결하는 시민 사회의 역할을 강화하기 위해 도덕적, 정치적, 재정적 지원을 제공한다.
4. 취약한 국가에서 인간의 고통을 예방하고 줄이기 위해 시민사회단체가 지상에서 작동 할 수 있도록 구체적인 조치를 즉시 취한다.
5. 코로나19 전염병에 대항하여 전 세계에서 낙인, 이주민, 노인, 이재민, 난민 및 토착민과 같은 소수 민족 및 소수 민족 등 인종 차별주의에 대항한 범 세계적 행동을 주도한다.
우리는 정부가 코로나19의 사회적, 경제적 영향을 해결하는 데 여전히 어려움을 겪고 있음을 잘 알고 있습니다. 그러나 국제사회가 연대를 이루고, 취약한 이웃을 돕는 동시에 이 전투를 벌이는 것이 중요합니다.
전세계 시민사회단체 연합은 대한민국의 리더십과 코로나19에 대항하는 전 지구적 싸움에서의 전폭적인 지원 아래 인도적인협력의 기회를 보장하기를 희망합니다.
당신의 배려에 감사드립니다.

Open Letter to President Moon Jae-in of
the Republic of Korea (ROK)
April 17, 2020
H.E. Moon Jae-in
President of the Republic of Korea
Cheongwadae (Blue House)
1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu
Seoul, 03048, Republic of Korea
RE: ROK’s Commitment to the global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in particular, in the developing counties.
Dear President Moon,
We are writing on behalf of the international civil society organizations (CSOs) / Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and coalitions, and individuals from different countries from the Asia-Pacific, Africa, South and North America, Middle East and the Europe region in regards to the Republic of Korea’s commitment to the global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
First of all, we would like to congratulate on the successful management of the parliamentary election concluded on 15 April 2020 despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is not an understatement to say that the world was impressed and encouraged at the ROK’s swift and democratic response to its COVID-19 outbreak. Through your administration’s leadership, prioritizing free press, access to information, transparency, medical testing and care for all, which are key democratic values, ROK has become a model in containing the virus without a lockdown or repressing civil liberties. The parliamentary election was another positive sign to prove that the coronavirus cannot stop democracy and human rights.
This leadership model and the prioritizing of people regardless of their background through democratic means has played a key role in creating a sense of solidarity and trust amongst the people, increasing cooperation in mitigating the crisis. The successful management of COVID-19 by the ROK, has proven that there is hope for a slow recovery. The international community has much to learn from the ROK experience and hopes for more cooperation in exchanging best practices.
We also note that you have put emphasis on the importance of international cooperation and made a commitment to humanitarian assistance through the Official Development Assistance (ODA) at the G20 Virtual Summit (26 March 2020) and ASEAN+3 Virtual Summit (14 April 2020) on the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the ROK’s efforts to support and assist its global neighbors in the fight against COVID-19, we believe that civil society has the ability to play an important proactive role in delivering necessary aid and services, promoting public awareness and education, monitoring the government’s policy and action on the COVID-19, and advocating human rights of the vulnerable and excluded people in society.
In a time of global crisis, public trust and partnership between civil society and government are essential in addressing the socio-economic impact of the pandemic both nationally and internationally in accordance with Core Humanitarian Standards (CHS) and human rights-based approach with the spirit of ‘leaving no one behind’ for the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In this regard, we would like to urge your government to:
1. Continue to play a proactive leadership role in tackling COVID-19 pandemic effectively while respecting human rights and democratic principles.
2. Maintain or increase humanitarian assistance through the ODA to help countries in need, especially in the least developed countries and fragile states that are the most vulnerable in overcoming unprecedented global challenges.
3. Provide support – moral, political and financial – to protect civic space and to strengthen the role of civil society in tackling adverse consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
4. Take concrete actions immediately to enable CSOs to operate on the ground to prevent and reduce human suffering in vulnerable countries.
5. Lead a global action on stigmatization, xenophobia, racism against minorities and vulnerable populations like older persons, migrants, internally displaced persons, refugees, and indigenous peoples in the global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are aware that your government is still facing challenges in addressing the social and economic impact of the COVID-19. However, it is vital that the international community comes in solidarity and fight the battle simultaneously together in the meanwhile assisting our vulnerable neighbors.
The undersigned, a coalition of civil society organizations across the globe, would like to take this opportunity to assure you of our full support and cooperation in the global fight against the COVID-19 with the Republic of Korea’s leadership.
Thank you for your consideration.

A New Vision for the Future in Our Society
Citizens’ Coalition for Economic Justice [i]
Republic of Korea
April 26, 2020
The last year fell on our 30th Anniversary, and we looked back on our historic movements over the last decades. Of significant importance to democratic and socioeconomic transformation with sustainable development in Korean society, have been three key factors: (a) Housing Price Reform: the alleviation of housing bubbles between stated value and real price; (b) Chaebol Reform: the breakup of the corporatocratic structure; and (c) Manifesto Movement by monitoring the governmental activities and evaluating their performance. These are really something many Koreans thought we’re supposed to do.
However, nothing has changed. In retrospect, the last 10 years saw political tensions and upheavals successively in our society. Such a radical change in all the state affairs of security, diplomacy, economy, society and industry, etc. has been bringing about a new order and related problems—such as the “False” industrial revolution—that cannot be resolved by traditional theories any longer and that cannot help being a real challenge for us to achieve sustainable development and economic justice. Such a road-to-Damascus conversion—“Digital” conversion—was dashed by big business and governments that maintained the status quo in the population aging and decline, in low growth and polarization, more and more. And such a socioeconomic inequality becomes fixed now, and forever. For unless we break it through this status quo, we won’t survive any longer.
Now then, we suggest you set a new vision for the future in our society on the ground of our empiricism, a new mission statement that is fixed to achieve the following six goals including twenty-two detailed targets (with over ninety methods):
A. Fair Economy
A-1. Establish a fair market with economic orders (six methods);
A-2. Promote innovation for inclusive growth (nine methods);
A-3. Earn economic esteem on decent work (four methods);
A-4. Reestablish the governmental role to realize a fair economy (four methods).
B. Social Justice
B-1. Eradicate windfall profits out of the housing speculation (three methods);
B-2. Establish justice and taxation (three methods);
B-3. Reform structural corruption (three methods).
C. Community Well-being
C-1. Secure social welfare based on the full-scale budget and fiscal soundness (three methods);
C-2. Reinforce housing welfare (three methods).
D. Social Inclusion
D-1. Do technological innovation for the human being (seven methods);
D-2. Close the socioeconomic achievement gap in education (four methods);
D-3. Realize the society without hate and discrimination (three methods);
D-4. Narrow the development gap between local areas (three methods).
E. Democratic Communitarianism
E-1. Reform politics and the judiciary (five methods);
E-2. Reform the government (two methods);
E-3. Strengthen local autonomy with decentralization (five methods);
E-4. Strengthen CSO partnership with citizen participation (Drafts).
F. Community Peace-building
F-1. Develop sustainable inter-Korean relations, denuclearize the Korean Peninsula and build peace regimes (six methods);
F-2. Building a new system of peaceful coöperation in Northeast Asia (six methods);
F-3. Toughen safeguards system (seven methods);
F-4. Cope with disasters, climate change and environmental destruction (two methods);
F-5. Protect food security and sustainable agriculture (three methods).

Stop it!—the Methods of an Infodemic
Citizens’ Coalition for Economic Justice [i]
Republic of Korea
April 27, 2020
“A moldering stone façade is still lépreuse.” Have you ever heard this word? That meant, nothing is more punitive than to give a disease a meaning. Any important disease, COVID-19, whose causality is murky, without hope, without despair, and for which treatment is ineffectual, tends to be awash in significance. The one thing, the subjects of deepest dread—corruption, decay, pollution, anomie, weakness—could come over to us as an infodemic crisis. The infodemic itself might be another pandemic. In the name of “witch-hunting,” that horror but terror with prejudice and discrimination would be imposed on other people. This disease become[-s] witch-hunting, ugly-disgusting stigmatization. “It’s said to be an Adjectival disease-like,” Susan Sontag said.
In this regard, the cardinal fact upon witch-hunting with the whole blame of mass is that this stigmatization is the nature of an infodemic on today’s crisis—Jesus Christ!
So, out of the crisis, WE are NOT fighting with Asian “foes” whom we are to thrash and overcome and vanquish and punish, and then abandon them. They are to be our neighbors—NAY, they are to be our fellow-citizens. Whatever be their faults, whatever be their incidents or coincidences then and now against us, if we are to stay in our hometown at all, they also will be here; and not only so, but they are indistinguishable from the great majority of our citizens around the world.
Now anyone who rightly appreciates these facts, what will they said are to be our public enemies in the pandemic crisis which we have undertaken in Wuhan nor our hometown?
The first ought to be to impose upon our Asianphobes without racial prejudice and any discrimination. But the second is to impress upon them our ultimate and essential friendliness towards them.
All the best. Thank you for all the medical teams.

지속 가능한 미래를 보장하기 위해 핵무기를 폐기하라
경실련 등 RLA 수상단체 및 수상자 공동 핵무기 철폐 UN 탄원서 제출
지속 가능한 미래를 보장하기 위해 세계 미래 협의회 (World Future Council, WFC) 회원들과 대안 노벨상 (바른생활상: Right Livelihood Awards, RLA) 수상자들은 핵무기 폐기를 촉구했습니다. 1월 19일 발표 된 공동성명에서 58명의 WFC 회원들과 RLA 수상자들은 지속 가능한 미래를 보장하기 위해 정부가 핵 위험 감소 및 군축에 대한 조치를 취할 것을 촉구하였습니다.
해당 성명은, 1월 20일 조셉 바이든 미국 대통령의 취임식과 1월 22일 핵무기 금지 조약의 발효를 위한 UN 최초 성명인 제 1호 결의안의 75 주년에 맞춰 발표됐습니다. 지난 1946년 1월 24일에 채택 된 UN 총회 결의안 제1호에서 “핵무기 및 기타 대량 살상 무기 제거”라는 전 지구적인 목표를 설정한 바 있습니다.
“183개 당사국들이 참여한 ‘생물 및 독소 무기 협약 (1972)’에서 생물학무기를 폐지했으며, 193개 당사국들이 참여한 ‘화학 무기 협약 (1993)’에서 화학무기를 폐지하였습니다. 이제, 우리는 3등급 대량 살상 무기인 핵무기를 폐지 할 때입니다.”—Paul Walker (미국) 군축운동연합 부의장 / RLA 2013년 수상자
“9개의 핵무장 국가들이 보유한 14,000개의 핵무기는 인류와 미래 세대에 실존적 위협이됩니다. 핵무기는 전염병을 해결하거나, 기후변화를 안정시키고 지속가능발전 목표를 달성하는 데 필요한 재정과 인적 자원을 소비하는 데 쓸모가 없으며, 무력 사용이나 위협 없이 평화적 방법으로 UN 회원국들의 분쟁을 해결할 것을 명시하는 UN헌장에 위배되는 것입니다.”—Maria Fernanda Espinosa, WFC 회원 / 제73차 UN총회 의장
“비핵 국가는 핵무기금지조약 협상을 통해 중요한 조치를 취해 왔습니다. 우리 뉴질랜드에서는 영토, 항공, 해상에서 핵무기의 이동을 전면 금지시켜 왔고, 핵무기 산업에 대한 공공투자를 중단시켜 왔으며, 그리고 국가적 차원에서 군축 기조 수립하는 등 핵무기금지조약을 비준하기 위해 우리 뉴질랜드는 효과적인 조치들을 이행해왔습니다.”—Alyn Ware (뉴질랜드) WTF 평화군축운동 국장 / RLA 2009년 수상자
“우리 세대는 이전 세대의 지도력을 바탕으로, 지구를 위협하는 핵무기를 모두 제거 할 의무가 있습니다. 이 의무는, 관습적으로 국제법상 핵무기의 위협이나 사용을 금지하고 완전한 철폐가 요구되기 때문에, 모든 국가에 적용됩니다. 이는, 1996년 국제사법재판소와 2018년 UN 인권위원회에 의해 공표된 것입니다.”—Neshan Gunasekera, WTF 회원 / 핵무기 반대를 위한 국제 변호사 협회 이사
“트럼프는 떠났고, 이제 민주당 하원과 상원 의원들은 우리로 하여금 핵전쟁의 위험을 줄이는 데 있어서, 트럼프 전 대통령은 말할 것도 없고, 오바마 행정부를 초월하여, 조 바이든 대통령에게 압력을 가할 것을 요구합니다. 미국과 다른 핵무장 국가들은, 즉각 핵전쟁을 억제하기 위해 선제타격을 금지하거나 발사경보 체계를 구축하겠다고 약속하는 한편, 지상의 ICBM을 모두 제거하고 핵 비축량을 “최후의 심판일” 때의 능력보다 훨씬 아래로 줄이기위한 조치를 취하고 시작해야합니다. 가능한 한 빠른시일 내 이를 달성하기 위해 전 세계적인 금지 조치와 핵무기의 완전히 철폐하기 협상이 긴요합니다.”—Daniel Ellsberg, 전 미국방부 핵전쟁 기획 고문 (펜타곤 보고서 부분 공개한 공로로 RLA 수상)
“핵무기의 위협은 인류 위에 얇은 실로 매달린 다모클레스의 칼(언제 닥칠지 모를 위험)과 같습니다. 언제든지 실이 끊어지면, 인류 전체가 위험에 빠질 수 있습니다. 우리가 기후 위기, 전례없는 생물 다양성 손실, 코로나19 대유행 속에서 배운 것이 있다면, 핵무기를 포함한 군국주의는 현재와 미래에 주요한 인간안보 문제를 해결하는 데 전혀 쓸모가 없다는 것입니다.”—Kehkashan Basu, 초록희망재단 (Green Hope Foundation) 설립자 / WTF 회원, 국제 아동평화상 2016년 수상자
해당 성명서는 아래와 같이 1월 25일에 예정된 UN 결의안 제 1호 75 주년 기념식을 위한 행사(http://www.abolition2000.org/event/the-united-nations-and-nuclear-disarmament-commemoration-of-the-75th-anniversary-of-un-resolution-1-1/)와 함께 UN 회원국들에 발표 될 예정입니다.
Joint statement by World Future Council members and Right Livelihood Laureates on the occasions of the Entry-into-Force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and the 75th anniversary of UN Resolution 1 (1)
We, Right Livelihood Laureates and members of the World Future Council, express deep concern about the existential threat to humanity and the planet from the 14,000 nuclear weapons possessed by nine nuclear-armed States, many of them poised for use at a moment’s notice by decision of unstable leaders or through use by accident, miscalculation or crisis escalation.
The production, deployment, testing, use and threat to use nuclear weapons violate the Right to Life and other international law, threaten current and future generations, provoke international conflicts and consume resources required to address the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
The very first resolution of the United Nations General Assembly, UN Res 1 (1) which was adopted by consensus on January 24, 1946, established the UN goal of the elimination of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. It is time to fulfil that goal.
On January 22, 2021, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will enter into force making it illegal for States Parties to develop, test, produce, manufacture, acquire, possess, deploy, use or threaten to use nuclear weapons or to assist or encourage such acts. The treaty is an important measure by the 51 non-nuclear countries who have ratified, and others who may subsequently join, to advance the abolition of nuclear weapons through national nuclear prohibition measures and international promotion.
We encourage all ratifying states to adopt comprehensive implementing measures, to include the prohibition of the threat, use, production, testing, transit and financing of nuclear weapons within their territorial jurisdiction. In particular, the prohibition of nuclear weapons transit and financing, including public investments in the nuclear weapons industry, would impact considerably on the nuclear arms race and on the policies and practices of the nuclear-armed states.
In addition, we encourage the ratifying states to establish ministerial positions, public advisory committees and disarmament education funds to facilitate public education and effective policy to further advance the objective of a nuclear-weapon-free world, as has already been done, for example, in New Zealand.
The nuclear armed and allied states have said that they will not join the Treaty. As such, they will not be bound by it. However, they cannot escape their individual and collective obligations to achieve nuclear disarmament. They agreed to this in UNGA Resolution 1 (1). Most of them also agreed to this in joining the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Article VI of which requires them to achieve nuclear disarmament. In addition, they are bound by customary international law prohibiting the threat or use of nuclear weapons as affirmed by the International Court of Justice in 1996 and the UN Human Rights Committee in 2018.
The Entry-into-Force of the TPNW on January 22, and the 75th anniversary of UNGA Resolution 1 (1) on January 24, 2021, provide opportune occasions for non-nuclear governments and civil society to remind the nuclear armed and allied states of the illegality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons and of their nuclear disarmament obligations, and call on them to implement these immediately.
The nuclear armed and allied states claim that they require nuclear deterrence for their security. However, they have a legal obligation under the UN Charter (Article 2) to achieve security without reliance on the threat or use of force in their international relations. In addition, the UN and many regional bodies and treaty organisations, provide mechanisms for achieving security and resolving conflicts through common security approaches including diplomacy, negotiation, mediation, arbitration and adjudication – instead of through militarism and war.
And, if we have learned anything from the climate crisis, unprecedented biodiversity loss and the COVID-19 pandemic, it is that militarism and weapons, including nuclear weapons, are useless in addressing the key human security issues of today and tomorrow.
The 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC), with 183 States Parties, has abolished biological weapons, and the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), with 193 States Parties, has abolished chemical weapons. It is now time to abolish the third class of weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons.
Measures the nuclear-armed and allied states should take include;
- Affirm that nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought, stand down their nuclear forces and affirm policies never to initiate a nuclear war;
- Replace nuclear deterrence with security frameworks based on human security and common security, including acceptance of the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice for international disputes not resolved by other means;
- Collectively join the TPNW, or alternatively start negotiations in a series of Summits or in a UN negotiating forum on the elimination of nuclear weapons under strict and effective international verification and enforcement;
- Cut nuclear weapons budgets, end investments in the nuclear weapons industry, and redirect these investments and budgets to support the United Nations, COVID-19 management and recovery, drastic reductions in carbon emissions to protect the climate, achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and public education for disarmament and the peaceful resolution of conflict; and
- Commit to achieving the complete, global elimination of nuclear weapons no later than 2045, the 100th anniversary of the United Nations.
In this way, humanity can abolish nuclear weapons and help assure a sustainable future.

미-러 신전략무기감축조약(New START)
연장을 환영한다
참 잘했어요! 러시아와의 신전략무기감축조약(“New START”)의 연장에 미국이 동의함에 따라 두 국가가 보유한 전략 핵무기 자산 중 △핵탄두 총 1,550개, △발사대 총 800대, △대륙간탄도미사일(ICBM), 잠수함발사탄도미사일(SLBM), 전략폭격기 총 700기로 2026년 2월 5일까지 줄이기로 합의했다. 그들은 이 조약의 신뢰안보구축조치(CSBM), 군축, 핵비확산을 실천하여 핵 위협으로부터 인간의 안보를 지키겠다고 서약하였다. 그리고 나아가, 저러한 핵무기 국가들이 UN 핵무기 금지 조약에도 동참하기를 희망한다.

Welcome the New START Treaty bet. US & RU

Seoul, February 4, 2021
What a nice job, Uncle Sam! On the extension of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (officially, “New START”) with Russian Federation, stays the United States for reducing strategic nuclear weapons of their own to 1,550 of their heavy warheads, to 800 of their launchers and to 700 of their ICBMs, SLBMs, heavy bombers until February 5, 2026. They pledge to keep human security from nuclear threats by implementing nonproliferation, disarmament and confidence & security-building measures of this treaty. And we hope those of the nuclear-weapon states join in the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, also.

BBC, 한국경찰, 물대포와 최루액으로 행진하는 시위대 진압 보도 – 10만 인파 가두시위 행진 참여 – “박근혜 퇴진” 역사교과서 국정화 반대 외쳐 – 박 대통령, 쉬운해고와 노동 시장 유연화 등, 논란 많은 노동개정안 밀어부쳐 BBC는 14일 경찰이 민중총궐기 집회에서 시위대와 충돌한 가운데 최루액과 물대포를 사용해 진압한 소식을 서울발로 타전했다. 기사는 노조와 시민단체 등 10만이 넘는 인파가 ...
1. 최순실의 국정개입과 농단으로 우리나라는 지금 심각한 공황상태에 빠졌습니다. 각계에서 들불처럼 시국선언이 잇따르고 있고, 국민을 기만하고 헌정을 파탄 낸 박근혜 대통령의 퇴진을 촉구하고 있습니다.
2. 급기야는 시민사회가 그토록 반대했던 설악산 케이블카 사업조차도 최순실이 깊숙이 개입했다는 주장이 보도되고 있어 현 정부에 대한 배신감과 실망감, 분노는 하늘을 찌르고 있습니다.
3. 박근혜 대통령은 스스로 이 나라의 대통령임을 포기했습니다. 경제, 외교, 대북관계, 환경 할 것 없이 최순실의 철저한 꼭두각시였음이 여실히 드러났습니다.
4. 이에 전국의 환경단체 연대체인 한국환경회의는 박근혜 퇴진을 촉구하는 시민행동에 동참하며 시국선언 기자회견을 진행합니다.
5. 현 사태를 바로잡으려하는 국민적 열망에 귀 기울여주시고 함께 해 주시길 요청드립니다.
