BBC Documentary Film on US War Crimes during the Korean War

Documentary "Kill 'Em All" by BBC concerning the American War Crimes during the Korea War. In September 1999 an investigative team from the Associated Press broke a story that shocked America. Fifty years before, they claimed, refugees caught up in the Korean War were shot and strafed by US forces.

Message on the Twentieth Anniversary of Tiananmen Square

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a strong statement denouncing the Chinese government that has wrongfully detained, abducted, deported, and killed civilians in the course of the 6.4 Incident at the Tiananmen Square in 1989. We wish she would do the same for tragic incidents taken place here in Korea decades ago.

Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
June 3, 2009

On this the 20th anniversary of the violent suppression of demonstrations in Tiananmen Square by Chinese authorities, we should remember the tragic loss of hundreds of innocent lives and reflect upon the meaning of the events that preceded that day.

Hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets for weeks, in Beijing and around the country, first to honor the late reformist leader Hu Yaobang and then to demand basic rights denied to them.

A China that has made enormous progress economically, and that is emerging to take its rightful place in global leadership, should examine openly the darker events of its past and provide a public accounting of those killed, detained or missing, both to learn and to heal.

This anniversary provides an opportunity for Chinese authorities to release from prison all those still serving sentences in connection with the events surrounding June 4, 1989. We urge China to cease the harassment of participants in the demonstrations and begin dialogue with the family members of victims, including the Tiananmen Mothers. China can honor the memory of that day by moving to give the rule of law, protection of internationally-recognized human rights, and democratic development the same priority as it has given to economic reform.

서울대 교수들 시국선언문

이명박 대통령과 현 정부는 국민적 화합을 위해 민주주의의 큰 틀을 지켜나가야 한다

우리 국민은 누구나 전직 대통령의 비극적인 죽음 앞에서 큰 아픔을 겪고 있다. 그러나 전국 각지에 길게 늘어선 조문 행렬은 단지 애도와 추모의 물결만은 아니었다. 국민 한 사람 한 사람이 착잡하기 이를 길 없는 심경으로 나라의 앞날을 가슴속 깊이 걱정하는 모습이었다.

서로 다른 정치적 입장을 넘어서서 각계각층의 온 국민이 하나 되어 전직 대통령의 국민장을 치러낸 것을 계기로 우리 모두는 새로운 길을 열고 있으며 또 열어야만 한다.

지난 수십 년간 온갖 희생을 치러가며 이루어낸 민주주의가 어려움에 빠진 현 시국에 대해 우리들은 깊이 염려하고 있다. 작년 ‘촛불집회’에 참여한 일반 시민들에게까지 소환장이 남발되었고 온라인상의 활발한 의견교환과 여론수렴이 가로막혔으며, 이미 개정이 예고된 집회 관련 법안들의 독소조항도 시민사회의 강한 비판에 부딪히고 있다.

현 정부가 출범한 이후 언론의 자유와 독립성 또한 훼손되었다. 주요 방송사가 바람직하지 못한 갈등을 겪는가 하면, 국회에서 폭력사태까지 초래한 미디어 관련 법안들은 원만한 민주적 논의절차를 거쳤다고 말하기 어렵다. 여야의 동의로 지난 3월 미디어발전 국민위원회가 국민적 합의 도출을 위해 출범했지만, 여당 측 위원들이 회의 공개나 국민여론 수렴을 반대함으로써 위원회는 표류하고 있다. 국민 다수가 언론법 처리 강행 방침을 부정적으로 인식하는 최근의 여론조사 결과를 굳이 상기하지 않더라도, 이런 흐름은 민주주의의 기반인 언론의 자유를 허물어뜨리는 일이라 아니할 수 없다.

그 뿐 아니다. 현직 대법관의 ‘촛불집회’ 재판 개입 사건에서 보듯이, 현 정권은 사법부의 권위와 독립성에 대한 국민적 신뢰에 상처를 입혔으며, 그에 따라 재판의 독립을 수호하려는 전국 법관들의 반발을 불러일으키고 있다. 국민여론에 따라 일단 포기했던 ‘한반도 대운하’는 ‘4대강 살리기’로 탈바꿈하여 되살아나고 있으며, 지난 십여 년 동안 대북정책이 거둔 성과도 큰 위험에 처했다. 특수고용직 노동자가 목숨을 끊고 비정규직 노동자가 기본권 보장을 요구할 때 집회의 강제 해산과 노동자 대량연행과 구속으로 맞서는 일 또한 구시대적 대처임이 분명하다. 　

문제는 정치노선의 차이나 이념의 대립이 아니라 기본적인 인권 존중과 민주적 원칙의 실천이다. 모든 국민의 삶을 넉넉히 포용하는 열린 정치를 구현하는 정부의 노력이 참으로 절실한 시점이다.

그러나 안타깝게도 전직 대통령 관련 검찰 수사 과정 또한 이전 정권에 대한 정치보복의 의혹을 불러일으키기에 충분한 것이었다. 검찰은 국가원수를 지낸 이를 소환조사까지 했음에도 불구하고 이후 3주가 지나도록 사건 처리 방침을 명확히 밝히지 못하고 추가 비리 의혹을 언론에 흘림으로써 전직 대통령과 가족에게 견디기 힘든 인격적 모독을 집요하게 가했다. 이는 엄정한 공직자 비리 수사라고 하기 곤란하며 상식에서 벗어난 것이었다.

되돌아보면 지난 1월 용산 철거민 농성에 대한 무모한 진압으로 빚어진 참사는 올해 벌어질 갖가지 퇴행적 사건을 예고했다. 용산 참사의 희생자들은 아직 장례도 치르지 못하고 있으며, 검찰이 수사기록 중 핵심적인 대목의 공개를 거부함으로써 재판도 정상적으로 진행되지 못하고 있다. 지난 5월 22일 서울 서부지법 민사12부가 ‘도시 및 주거환경 정비법’이 “세입자의 재산권, 주거권, 인간다운 생활을 할 권리를 침해한다”며 위헌법률심판을 제청한 사실에 주목하면서 현 정부의 근본적인 자기 성찰을 기대한다.

이명박 대통령과 현 정부가 전직 대통령에 대한 범국민적 애도 속에 주어진 국민적 화해의 소중한 기회를 잘 살리고 국민의 뜻에 부응하기를 우리는 간절히 희망하며, 다음의 구체적 요구사항을 제시한다.

1. 이명박 대통령은 국정의 최고 책임자다. 이 대통령이 스스로 나서서 국민 각계각층과 소통하고 연대하는 정치를 선언해야 한다. 더불어 현 정부와 집권 여당은 다른 정당과 시민사회단체를 진심으로 국정의 동반자로서 받아들여야 한다.

1. 현 정부는 민주사회의 기본권인 ‘표현의 자유’, ‘집회와 결사의 자유’, ‘언론의 자유’를 보장해야 한다.

1. 현 정부는 전직 대통령 관련 검찰 수사의 문제점을 인정하고 사죄해야 하며, 정적이나 사회적 약자에게만 엄격한 검찰 수사에 대한 근본적 반성과 개선이 이루어져야 한다.

1. 현 정부는 용산 참사의 피해자에 대해 국민적 화합에 걸맞은 해결책을 제시하고, 경제 위기 하에서 더 큰 어려움에 처한 비정규직 노동자 등 소외계층의 요구에 귀를 기울이고 그들의 기본권을 보장해야 한다.

이명박 대통령과 현 집권층이 우리 국민 모두의 가슴에서 타오르고 있는 민주적 요구에 대해 진지하고 성의있게 대응함으로써 지금의 어려운 상황을 국민적 화합과 연대를 바탕으로 한 민주주의의 큰 길로 나아가는 전환점으로 삼을 것을 간곡히 바란다.

Amnesty International Sees S. Korea’s Human Rights Backpedaling

Riot police used excessive force when dispersing largely peaceful protesters demonstrating against US beef imports. Large numbers of irregular migrants were deported amid reports of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment during arrest. There was heightened concern about freedoms of expression, assembly and association of protesters, unionists and journalists. No executions took place but 58 people remained on death row. The Special Bill to Abolish the Death Penalty lapsed in March.

Excessive use of force
Candlelight protests against the resumption of US beef imports attracted tens of thousands of people and took place almost daily from May to early July. During the largely peaceful protests some police beat protesters with shields and batons, fired water cannons at close range and denied medical care to protesters in detention. Protesters suffered injuries such as broken bones, concussion, temporary blindness and punctured eardrums.

"Police imprisoned at least 408 conscientious objectors, mostly Jehovah’s Witnesses..."

Migrants’ rights
In September, the government announced its intention to deport approximately half of irregular migrant workers, an estimated 220,000 people, by 2012. There was a growing number of cases of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of migrant workers during arrests in the ongoing crackdown.

In November, about 280 immigration officials and police raided factories and dormitories in Maseok, Gyeonggi province, where at least 110 regular and irregular migrant workers were indiscriminately apprehended en masse. One female migrant worker was not permitted to go to the toilet, but was instead forced to urinate in public. One male migrant worker broke his leg when he tried to escape, after which he was handcuffed and made to wait five hours before being allowed to go to hospital.
In May, the government deported Torna Limbu, a Nepalese national, and Abdus Sabur, a Bangladeshi national, president and vice-president respectively of the Seoul-Gyeonggi-Incheon Migrants’ Trade Union (MTU), despite a call from the National Human Rights Commission for a stay of deportation until it could investigate allegations of beatings by immigration officials during their arrests. There were concerns that the two men were targeted specifically because of their union activities.
Freedom of expression, assembly and association
Labour movement
According to the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, irregular employment protests occurred at more than 30 different factories. Security forces used excessive force against striking irregular workers, who were protesting because they received less pay than regular workers for equal work. They also faced losing their jobs after two years so that their employers could avoid regularizing their status in line with the 2007 Contract Based Employment Law.

Media independence
The chief executives and presidents of the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS), Korean Broadcasting Advertising Corporation, Arirang TV, Sky Life and Yonhap Television Network (YTN) were replaced by supporters of the government.

Protests against the appointment of the new YTN president Ku Bon-hong, a former aide to President Lee Myung-bak, resulted in Ku Bon-hong suing 12 trade union journalists and firing six journalists for “interfering with business”.
Conscientious objectors
Police imprisoned at least 408 conscientious objectors, mostly Jehovah’s Witnesses, for refusing compulsory military service. This significant drop in numbers compared to the 733 imprisoned in 2007 was largely because cases were not heard ahead of plans to introduce an alternative to military service in 2009. However, in December the Ministry of Defence put the plans on hold due to lack of public support.

Lee Gil-joon, a conscripted riot police officer was sentenced to one and a half years in prison for failure to return to duty and disobeying orders because he opposed using violence to disperse demonstrators during the candlelight protests.
Arbitrary arrests and detentions – National Security Law

2008 celebration event on the World Day Against DP,10 Oct.© Amnesty International2008 marked 60 years since the National Security Law (NSL) was introduced. As of December, there were at least nine detained individuals charged under the vague provisions of the NSL.

On 26 August, police arrested seven activists from the Socialist Workers League of Korea, including a university professor, Oh Se-chul, for violating article three (forming anti-state groups) and article seven (praising or sympathizing with anti-state groups) of the NSL. Seoul Central District Court rejected the arrest warrants submitted by the prosecutor’s office on grounds of insufficient evidence. On 14 October, police re-submitted the arrest warrant for Professor Oh, but it was again rejected by the court due to lack of evidence.
Refugees and asylum-seekers
A total of 364 applications for refugee status were submitted in 2008. Thirty-six people were granted refugee status and 22 were given humanitarian protection. Seventy-nine applications were rejected. Serious concerns were raised about the lack of resources in immigration offices as the backlog of asylum claims reached over 1,200 cases.

Violence against women and girls
In January, President-elect Lee Myung-bak said he would not call on Japan to apologize for its wartime atrocities.

In October, the South Korean parliament passed a resolution calling for justice for the survivors of Japan’s military sexual slavery system during World War II.

Death penalty
South Korea’s unofficial moratorium on executions continued. Fifty-eight prisoners were on death row at the end of the year. The Special Bill to Abolish the Death Penalty lapsed in March. Two new bills on the abolition of the death penalty were introduced in the National Assembly.

Amnesty Sees S. Korea’s Human Rights Backpedaling

By Park Si-soo
Staff Reporter

South Korea has been backpedaling on human rights regarding expression of opinion, assembly and association under the Lee Myung-bak administration, Amnesty International said Tuesday.

The world's largest human rights watchdog urged the government to remove all measures restricting such rights to maintain Seoul's leadership in human rights protection in the Asia-Pacific region.

``Some policies and measures restricting human rights have commonly been found in prior administrations. However, our concern over, in particular, the right of expression, assembly and association under the current government is higher than ever before,'' said Go Eun-tae, chairman of Amnesty International's Seoul bureau, at a press conference. ``We reached this conclusion after reviewing our past human rights reports.''

It expressed grave concern over the increasing use of force by police in cracking down on demonstrators.

``In recent rallies, police recklessly assaulted and detained non-violent demonstrators and even innocent civilians. Some were injured. But police have not taken any responsibility for that,'' said Kim Hee-jin, director of the human rights group. ``It seems that police have lost their sense of responsibility.''

Kim denounced the police's recent decision to prohibit civic groups with records of hosting unauthorized rallies from taking any collective action. ``It's an arbitrary decision and apparently infringes upon people's freedom of expression, protected under the Constitution,'' Kim said.

She said South Korea's freedom of the press was also in jeopardy as the government has tried to muzzle media outlets critical of the administration by replacing their chief executives with supporters of President Lee.

Earlier this year, chief executives and presidents of the Korea Broadcasting System (KBS), Arirang TV, and Yonhap Television Network (YTN) were replaced by President Lee's supporters.

In replacing YTN's top job, 12 trade union journalists and six YTN journalists were sued or fired for their protests against the appointment of Ku Bon-hong as YTN president.

It added that freedom of expression in cyberspace was also under attack.

``The arrest of blogger Minerva proves it,'' Kim said. ``Even though he was acquitted at trial, we are concerning about similar cases in the future.''

Internet blogger Park Dae-sung, better known as Minerva, was indicted on charges of causing financial loss to the government by spreading unconfirmed information online.

Professors Demand No Rollback on Democracy
http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2009/06/117_46122.html
By Bae Ji-sook
Staff Reporter

For the first time in more than five years, professors are moving to issue a statement to press for furthering democracy.

About 100 professors of Seoul National University will issue a joint statement today to denounce the Lee Myung-bak administration for what they call backtracking on democratic rights.

They will urge the Lee administration to change the framework of its policies as ``democracy has reached a point where it cannot become worse.'' They condemned the administration's ``excessive suppression of the media and the oppression of public voices.''

It is the first such announcement in five years since they publicly opposed a lawmakers move to impeach former President Roh Moo-hyun in 2004.

It was quite common during the authoritarian Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan administrations in the 1970s and early 1980s for professors, opinion leaders and religious leaders to press for democracy.

The announcement will mainly be a request to the government to ``respect full democracy,'' including permission for public political gatherings and guaranteeing the ``independence of the press from political or chaebol'' influence.

Prof. Lee Joon-ho noted that the Lee administration has been indifferent about pressing the issues necessary for national harmony.

``During the past liberal administrations of Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun, we enjoyed freedom of expression. But we don't anymore,'' he said. ``Of course it is a bit of a scary situation. The prosecution has even hauled away critical TV program directors. Now we can no longer tolerate the arbitrary questioning,'' Lee said.

Lee says that the present administration needs to make changes to its policies that may run counter to a fuller democracy.

Police blocked Seoul Plaza to prevent illegal gatherings and have torn down memorial alter to the late former President Roh installed in central Seoul, a move which drew immense public criticism.

The professor said there are more professors critical of the administration's policy on democracy and human rights. ``Even some conservative people told me that it is the time to make some changes,'' he said.

Professors at other universities are likely to issue the same statement to press the government not to backpedal on the country's hard fought-for democracy.

The power of presidential restraint

It is kind of hard to comprehend what he exactly wanted to point out here; was it that Truman made a good decision not to use nukes to end the Korean War and instead made it "a forgotten war" and set a nuke-restraint international convention; or it wasn't a good decision not to use it, since it didn't quite contribute the "US War Economy"?

By James Carroll | June 1, 2009

KOREA saved us - but you wouldn't think so today. Pyongyang's second nuclear test, followed by multiple rocket launches, and its repudiation of a decades-old armistice with South Korea are generating international consternation. The Obama administration's important nuclear reduction initiatives may be undercut, together with its hopes for blunting Iran's nuclear ambition. China, Taiwan, and Japan all face unexpected pressures. South Korea's "sunshine policy" of seeking accommodations with North Korea is all but dead - along with its main architect, former president Roh Moo Hyun, who committed suicide last week.

In America, the Korean War is sometimes referred to as "the forgotten war," but these events show that the most forgotten thing of all is that the war never ended. That a civil war on a peninsula in Northeast Asia so ensnared the United States - with more than 30,000 GI's stuck in its amber to this day - is now commonly taken as a Cold War mistake. The mirror-image mistake a decade later was US intervention in a second civil war on an Asian peninsula - Vietnam.

The critique of Korea is familiar. Only months before North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea in June 1950, Secretary of State Dean Acheson had declared Korea to be outside "the defense perimeter" of US national security, yet he led the charge to join the conflict. Pentagon leaders warned against "a land war in Asia," but President Truman followed Acheson. The United States, under cover of the United Nations, went to war, scuttling once and for all the post-World War II movement to demilitarize America. Instead, the US defense budget jumped from $13 billion in 1951 to $50 billion in 1953; the US nuclear arsenal grew from 300 bombs in 1950 to 1,300 bombs in 1953. Welcoming the "permanent war economy," Acheson said, "Korea saved us." Cold War critics have decried this turn in history ever since.

But there is another, less noted - more authentic - way that Korea saved us. At first, General Douglas MacArthur led a brilliant offensive against the North Koreans, driving them back across the parallel and ever closer to the Yalu River, the Chinese border. Then China stunned MacArthur, in November 1950, by sending hundreds of thousands of its soldiers across the river - a "Chicom" rout of Yanks.

MacArthur retreated down much of the peninsula, warning Washington of a coming American Dunkirk, a desperate evacuation of troops by sea. MacArthur demanded that Truman authorize use of atomic weapons in battle. The Air Force chief of staff, General Hoyt Vandenberg, proposed a preemptive nuclear attack against the Soviet Union. Truman later wrote, "I could not bring myself to order the slaughter of 25,000,000 non-combatants . . . I just could not make the order for a Third World War." Truman said no to MacArthur, the beginning of the famous dispute that would lead to the general's dismissal the following April.

American troops valiantly hung on, finally clawing their way back up to the 38th parallel. Truman chose to abandon victory rather than order total war. The resulting stalemate defines the problem between North and South Korea to this day. But in the forgotten war, Truman's refusal to order the use of atomic weapons is, except to a handful of historians, the forgotten decision. Its impact has been as permanent as it has been underappreciated, for the effect of Truman's rejection of the atomic bomb at that moment of extremity - America facing the worst defeat in its history - was to establish a taboo against nuclear use that has lasted all these years. That the president who ordered the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, when it was militarily dubious to do so, was the one to reject the atomic bombing of enemy forces in Korea, when it seemed militarily essential to do so, made the point. Because Washington did not use atomic weapons when, with relatively little danger to itself, it could have, other nuclear powers joined in regarding the use of these weapons as beyond the pale. If Truman had chosen otherwise, whether "successfully" or not, there can be little doubt that nuclear weapons would have been used again, and probably again, until . . .

This unsung story of presidential restraint has profound relevance for the present crisis.

Circle of Life

Hear my stories over the last weekend.

Saturday started with attending the wedding of one of my friends. Fooled by his luring persuasion, I truly expected to encounter unresistable bunch of hunks at the wedding. Puhhhzzz,, I've seen better. At the wedding, I called a friend who also was supposed to show but not; to everyone's surprise, she said her mom is critically ill with leukemia and she is with her at an emergency room. So, soon after the wedding, I went to see her at her apartment. She seemed calm and in control; so I relieved.

Then, on Sunday morning, I got a call from THE friend saying her mom passed away; I felt blown up by a storm; but amazingly her voice was still so serene, so I also calmed down. Passing on my condolesence, I said how sorry I am as well as how sudden it was to face her mom's death; she certainly didn't expect a day before when I talked to her in front of her apartment.

Learning the saddened news, I thought it's better to share it with other friends, just to split some burden on my friend. Then, one of our mutual friend called. He said he unlikely attends her mom's funeral since his wife is in labor.

Within a span of 48 hours, I realized once again; the circle of life. People breed, die, and are born again. We are born capable of finding joys in the saddest events and passing on our genes to survive; we've been doing it for tens of thousands of years; why shouldn't we do now?

I, once again, give my great condolecense to my friend's loss.

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
