지구의 벗 오스트레일리아 지부·오스트레일리아평화위원회, 플루토늄 액션 히로시마. "폐지 2000(Abolition 2000)"의 북핵위기의 평화적 해결을 촉구하는 서한

[서한 국문요약]

한반도핵무기로 파생된 문제는 평화적으로 해결 촉구

서명한 단체와 의원은
-군사적 해결과 정권교체는 고려대상에서 빼고, 동등한 기반에서 모든 당사자들이 복지와 안보를 촉진할 수 있는 그리고 한반도에서 긴장을 제거할 수 있는 해결책을 믿는다.
-북한의 핵병력의 크기와 능력이 무엇이든지 그것은 미국의 8,000-12,000개의 핵탄두...와 비교할 수 없다.
-북한이 자국을 방위하는 것은 이해할 만하다. 그러나 북한의 핵능력은 남한, 일본, 타이완의 핵능력 추구로 나타날 것이기에 핵비확산은 심각한 위협에 직면할 것이다. 핵확산은 예방되어야 한다. 한반도 비핵화는 필수적이다.
-힘의 사용 시도, 제재, 제재위협, 정권 교체, 이와 같은 논의는  한반도 비핵화의 가능성을 막을 뿐만 아니라 완전한 재난으로 나타날 수 있다. 이런 위협은 북한이 핵병기를 보유하도록 이끌 뿐 만 아니라 실제적으로 핵병기의 사용을 이끌 수 있다.
-한반도에서 재래전조차 파국적일 수 있다. 남한에 수많은 핵발전소의 존재는 재래식 분쟁에서 조차 파국적 결과를 초래할 수 있음을 의미한다.
-서명한 단체들은 (핵)확산문제의 해결할 수 있는 유일한 길은 미국과 타 핵보유국들이 NPT  4항하에 비핵화 조항을 준수하는 것이다. 핵국가의 이중적 잣대는 핵무기와 함께 제거되어야만 한다. 미국의 핵무기보유는 북한 병기를 위한 가장 강력한 동기를 제공하고 있다. 북한 뿐 만 아니라 미국도 NPT의무를 지켜야 한다.
-우리는 미정부가 군사력 사용이나 군사적 행동을 이끌 방안을 선택하지 말 것을 촉구한다.
 북한의 불가침 조약은 한반도에 긴장을 감소할 수 있는 합리적인 요구라고 믿는다.

RE: NORTH KOREA NUCLEAR WEAPONS CRISIS

Dear President Bush, President Kim Jong-Il, PresidentHu Jintao, President Putin, Prime Minister Koizumi, Prime Minister John Howard, Secretaries of State and Foreign Ministers,

The undersigned organisations, representing millions of people, are writing to you to urge that a peaceful solution be reached to the problems posed by the possible existence of nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula.

We believe strongly that talk of military solutions and `regime change` must be firmly removed from consideration, and a solution arrived at that promotes the well-being and security of all parties on an equal basis, and that contributes to the elimination of tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

It must also be borne in mind that whatever the size and capabilities of the DPRK nuclear arsenal, it in no way remotely compares with the 8-12,000 warheads of the US arsenal, the approximately 22,000 warheads of the Russian arsenal, the roughly 400 warheads held by China and France, the 200-400 held by Israel, the 150-200 held by the UK, nor even with the arsenals held by India and Pakistan. The DPRK has from at least 1956, faced the threat of US nuclear weapons and up to 100 tactical nuclear warheads were stationed south of the DMZ until at least 1991.

The desire of the DPRK to defend itself may be understandable. Nonetheless, a DPRK nuclear capability could lead to the early  pursuit of nuclear capabilities by the RoK, Japan and Taiwan, putting  the global framework of nuclear nonproliferation in grave jeopardy. Further nuclear proliferation must be prevented. A return to a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula is not at all an empty dream, but a vital necessity.

However it is the strong belief of the undersigned organisations that attempts to use force, sanctions, threats of sanctions, `regime change`, or talk of such measures not only bear no possibility of producing a peaceful and nuclear free Korean Peninsula, but run a real risk of complete catastrophe. Threats of this kind, as the DPRK itself has repeatedly made clear, will induce the DPRK not only to retain and to augment its nuclear arsenal, but may induce it to actually contemplate its use.

Even a conventional war on the Korean Penninsula, which would almost certainly result from military action, would be catastrophic. Some 4 million people are said to have died in the 1950-53 Korean War,  while up to 10 million people are unable to visit families because of the border.  The existence of a large number of nuclear power plants in the RoK would mean that even a conventional conflict could be catastrophic in its consequences.

The undersigned organisations believe that the only way to solve the proliferation problem is for the US and the other nuclear weapon states to finally make good on their nuclear disarmament commitments under Article VI of the NPT. The double standard regarding their ownership must be eliminated along with the weapons themselves. The ownership of nuclear weapons by the US is in itself the most powerful motivator for a DPRK arsenal, whatever its real capabilities.  It is vital, not only that the DPRK uphold and not withdraw from the NPT, but that the US abide by its NPT obligations.  The US cannot ask the DPRK to respect the NPT when US plans to develop new nuclear weapons types violate its clear Article VI obligations.

Estimates of DPRK capabilities vary, but it seems reasonable to suggest that if it does not now have at least a rudimentary nuclear arsenal, it soon will have. It is prudent to make the most pessimistic assumptions in assessing the risks of any course of action, and not to assume that DPRK claims are `bluff`.

Accordingly, we can only conclude that the risk of nuclear weapons actually being used,  is such that military options,  or options that could eventually lead to military options,  should be decisively removed from consideration and be demonstrably taken off the menu of possibilities. In this case even the very contemplation of such options creates a very real risk of a `pre-preemptive strike`.

We absolutely urge the US administration to desist from the contemplation of military options or of any option that might lead to military action.

We urge the US administration to signal to the DPRK by its own actions, that will encourage the DPRK to enter into real engagement with the RoK, with Japan, with Russia and China, and with the US itself, that will lead to an overall reduction of tensions on the Korean Peninsula.  The DPRK has asked the US for a nonaggression pact. We believe this is a reasonable request that would lead to a genuine reduction of tensions in the peninsula.

We are firmly of the belief that this is not merely a realistic option, but that it is the ONLY realistic option.

If the US is serious about  discouraging nuclear proliferation worldwide, the single most vital thing it must do is live up to its own obligations under article VI of the NPT, to accomplish the total and unequivocal elimination of its own vast nuclear arsenal.

There is a clear choice:

On the one hand, peace on the Korean Peninsula.

On the other side, a continued increase in tensions, a continued increase in both conventional and nuclear arsenals, and finally a disastrous resort to military action that risks the use of nuclear weapons against Korean, Japanese, or possibly US, cities.

The choice is clear. We urge you to choose peace.

Signed
