STATEMENT: Today’s historic meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un: key points to be included in follow-up talks for peace and disarmament 12 June 2018, Brussels – Pax Christi International welcomes today’s first step towards rapprochement between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. This summit will make history if it enables the two parties to come to the negotiating table and lays a foundation for peace. We hope that the Singapore summit can lead to new relations between the two countries. Dialogue, diplomacy and cooperation should replace hostile behaviour. Durable progress on denuclearisation and peace should also include South Korea, Japan and China. Although the two leaders’ joint statement declares their commitment to the peace and prosperity of the Korean Peninsula and the world, Pax Christi International regrets the absence of more specific commitments towards that goal. Essential points are missing in the document that should be taken up if future talks are to actually lead towards disarmament and a durable peace: - Both countries should take conclusive steps towards complete and verifiable denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula, not only North Korea. The peninsula is not denuclearised if it remains under threat from U.S. nuclear weapons. - Both the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea should join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) and North Korea should rejoin the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). This is part of a five-step proposal for disarmament issued by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) which includes Pax Christi International. - The U.S. and North Korea should pursue the successful completion of a peace treaty between both Koreas to replace the armistice from the Korean War, also as a follow-up of the historic Panmunjom Declaration of 27 April 2018. - The U.S. should raise concerns for human rights in North Korea as a condition to lift economic sanctions. Amongst other human rights abuses, up to 120,000 people continue to be arbitrarily detained in political prison camps. It is imperative that human rights are taken up in future talks, as their protection is intrinsically linked to peace and security. Importantly, this outcome opens doors for confidence-building measures and dialogue among all interested parties. Pax Christi International urges the two Koreas, the U.S., China, Japan and Russia to add to the momentum created since the Winter Olympics by implementing bilateral and multilateral follow-up actions, for example, by opening the railroad line between North and South Korea, having new nuclear weapons reduction talks between the U.S. and Russia, and the U.S. and North Korea deciding to open offices in their capital cities before the end of 2018.

ऐतिहासिक वार्तापछि दुई कोरियाको ‘परमाणु वाचा’ दुई कोरियाको सीमाक्षेत्रमा भएको ऐतिहासिक वार्तापश्चात् उत्तरका नेता किम जङ-अन तथा दक्षिणका राष्ट्रपति मून जे-इनले कोरियाली प्राय:द्वीपलाई परमाणु अस्त्र मुक्त पार्न काम गर्ने वाचा गरेका छन्। सन् १९५३ मा युद्धविराममा टुङ्गिएको कोरियाली युद्धलाई स्थायी रूपमा अन्त्य गर्ने एक शान्ति सन्धि यसै वर्ष गरिसक्ने सहमति पनि दुई नेताले गरेका छन्। उत्तर कोरिया: ट्रम्पको भाषण 'कुकुरको भुकाइ हो' केही महिना अगाडिको वाकयुद्धको स्थितिपश्चात् अहिले दुई बीच वार्ताको अवस्था आइपुगेको छ। शान्तिको आकाङ्क्षा वार्तापश्चात् बोल्दै किम जङ-अनले दुई कोरियाले झगडा गर्नुपर्ने कुनै कारण नरहेको भन्दै शान्तिप्रतिको चाहना दर्शाए। उनले दुवै देश एक हुनुपर्ने भने तर आफ्नो देशको अस्त्र विकासबारे केही बोलेनन्। दक्षिण कोरियाली राष्ट्रपतिले दुवै जनाले कोरियाली प्राय:द्वीपको पूर्ण परमाणु निरस्त्रीकरणमा प्रतिबद्धता जनाएको बताए। त्यस्तो निरस्त्रीकरणका विस्तृत विवरण दिइएको छैन। कतिपय विश्लेषकहरूले अझै पनि उत्तर कोरियाको प्रतिबद्धताप्रति शङ्का व्यक्त गरेका छन्।
