We have been deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the sacrifice of many valuable lives in the recent terrorist attacks in the US. However, we were shocked once again by the attacks of revenge by the US on Afghanistan.
We have continuously called on the US for the peaceful resolution of the terrorist incidents. Terrorism can never be eradicated through war and violence. With the hope of a peaceful resolution and to end of the ugly cycle of war, we called on the US to stop their attacks of revenge immediately with our following demands.
The US must stop its attacks immediately
Terrorism can never be eradicated through war.
War only leads to the sacrifice of innocent lives and more drastic and cruel violence. The strikes under the premise of `enduring freedom' by the US government are in clear violation of global peace and order. This war of revenge will only lead to uncontrollable military tension and hostility.
The US must stop its attacks of revenge immediately and work for the peaceful and fundamental resolution of the incidents. We call on the US to carry out more detailed investigations and reveal the correct evidence and undertake efforts to eradicate terror in line with international law.
The Kim Dae Jung government must cancel plans for war support
The Korean government has revealed its support for the US attacks of revenge immediately after the terrorist incidents and intends to carry out diverse war support plans. We would like to ask President Kim Dae Jung as a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, the basic question of `What is peace?' The Korean government must stop all plans for the war support and call on the President to carry out efforts for peace-building on the Korean Peninsula and in the world.
War and violence can never be rationalized in any way. The Korean government must cancel all plans for the dispatch of combat and non-combat troops, commodities, financial aid and any other forms of support in consideration of the peace on the Korean peninsula.
The UN and other countries of the world must set up measures for the protection of the human rights and safety of refugee women & children
We are deeply saddened to see the pain and suffering of the Afghan women and children who have been victimized in the US attacks. The refugee lines to escape the attacks have already started and women and children who comprised 80% of the refugees are facing terror and starvation.
The impending commitment of ground forces forecasts the terrible sacrifice of women and children. Missile strikes will not `safeguard world peace' as proclaimed by President Bush. The so-called 'humanitarian aid' will not prevent the human sacrifice of Afghan refugees.
The UN and countries of the world must set up immediate measures for the protection of the human rights and safety of innocent Afghan women and children. Furthermore, we call on the US government to lead the way for the peaceful resolution of the terrorist incidents.
Japanese Rearmament Endangering Peace on the Korean Peninsula and Asia
The Japanese government intends to take the opportunity of the US attacks on Afghanistan to increase its Self Defense Forces and is undertaking legal reform to achieve the right of group defense, dreaming once again of a military empire. We call for the end of Japanese rearmament which threaten the peace on the Korean peninsula and Asia.
The Japanese government must immediately withdraw support of its participation in the US attacks of revenge and cancel all plans for the dispatch of its Self Defense Forces. Unless, the Japanese government abandon all desires for a military stronghold, it will be facing strong resistance from the Asian people.
We, once again, put forward our demands:.
We are totally against any kind of terror and war.
We call on the US government to stop its attacks of revenge on Afghanistan and the Korean government to stop all plans for supporting the war.
We as women will continue our efforts to create a world respecting human life, human rights and peace.
