Let's End The Korean War

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. The time has come to end the tragic situation that has lingered on the Korean Peninsula. War on the Korean Peninsula must now be completely and permanently ended. Peace on the Korean Peninsula will ensure peace in the broader Asia-Pacific region and will positively affect changes in the global order.

The Korean War is in a ceasefire state. In other words, it is not completely over. South Koreans can travel to almost anywhere in the world today, whether actually or virtually, but North Korea remains steadily closed off and inaccessible behind the barbed wires which break the Korean Peninsula in half across the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The fear of war, hostility, and military tension have shaped the lives of people living on the Korean Peninsula for seven decades. 70 years is enough. It's time to end the Korean War

Korean Peace Appeal is an international campaign that seeks to amplify voices calling for an end to the Korean War and a transition from armistice to peace beyond the Korean Peninsula and throughout the world. The campaign aims to end the Korean War and achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula by collecting 100 million signatures of the Korea Peace Appeal from 2020, the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, to 2023, the 70th anniversary of the armistice agreement.

We imagine a future where the people of the Korean Peninsula, East Asia and the world cooperate and coexist peacefully. We hope our resources will be used for people’s safety and happiness, for environmental sustainability and a society without discrimination instead of preparing for war. We hope that the Korean Peninsula, which was a symbol of confrontation and conflict, will be changed into a birthplace of peace and coexistence together with peace-loving people around the world.
