End The korean war
For peace on the Korean peninsula and an end to 70 years of war!
War on the Korean Peninsula started in June 1950 and transitioned into a state of armistice in July 1953.
Following the armistice agreement, those living on the peninsula have existed in a state of military, political and social tension and have also carried deep-seated grief caused by the separation of one people.
As a country that fought in the war, this chapter of New Zealand’s history also remains open as long as the armistice agreement continues.
It is impossible to ask the other side to lay down their weapons while we remain in a state of armistice, therefore an end to the war can be thought of as a prerequisite for discussing peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Historically, New Zealand has been a world leader in peace movements such as the nuclear-free movement. If New Zealand, a participant country in the Korean War, were to pass a Parliamentary resolution in support of ending the War we will once again be leading a path to peace in the Asia-Pacific region and globally.
Therefore we, members of diverse communities living in New Zealand, strongly call upon the New Zealand Government and Parliament to take the following steps to finally bring an end to seventy years of war:
