Why have the US and North Korea been at war for 70 years? How do we get to peace? What makes us truly secure?
On May 21, 2020, the Korea Peace Network, Korea Peace Now! Grassroots Network, Peace Treaty Now, Re’Generation Movement, and Women Cross DMZ hosted a webinar with Dr. Han S Park on the need for a radical shift toward a peace paradigm in Korea.
Han S Park is University Professor Emeritus of International Affairs and Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Global Issues (GLOBIS) at the University of Georgia. Dr. Park has visited North Korea more than 50 times since 1981 to further efforts for diplomacy and peacemaking. He was instrumental in President Jimmy Carter’s visit to North Korea in 1994 to avert military confrontation and President Bill Clinton’s visit to Pyongyang to free detained American journalists in 2009.
This webinar on April 16, 2020, examined how the un-ended Korean War, division, and sanctions impact North and South Korea’s efforts against coronavirus. Speakers included Dr. Kee Park, Harvard Neurosurgeon; Director of the North Korea Program of the Korean American Medical Association, and Ko You-kyoung, Consultant, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and Korea Peace Now!
Co-hosted by Massachusetts Peace Action, Women Cross DMZ, and the Korea Peace Now! Grassroots Network.
