70년이 넘은 전쟁의 상흔은 한반도에서 지워진 적이 없다. 동족상잔, 그 비극적인 경험을 우리 모두는 여전히 끌어안아 가슴에 품고 있다. 전쟁을 직접 경험한 세대부터 이제 갓 스물을 넘겨 군에 입대한 젊은이까지, 한반도에 살고 있는 모두는 여전히 짙게 드리워진 전쟁의 그늘을 느끼고 있다. 그 느낌은 어느새 두려움이 되고 그두려움은 모두를 잘못된 길로 이끌 가능성을 늘 가지고 있다. 한반도에서 실시되고 있는 전쟁연습은 그 두려움이 현실이 될 수도 있다는 긴박한 위기의식을 모두에게 불어 넣는다. 동북아의 불안하기만 한 힘의 균형이 언제든 무너질 수 있다는 메시지는 과연 누구를 위한 것일까? 한마디로 답하기에는 복잡한 문제이지만 한가지는 확실하다. 그 전쟁연습이 한반도에 살고 있는 남과 북의 국민을 위한 것은 아니다.
PPNK Presbyterian Peace Network for Korea)는 한반도에 드리운 전쟁의 그늘을 걷어내고 평화가 깃들기를 한 마음으로 기도하며 아래의 성명서를 지지한다.
주님께서 민족들 사이의 분쟁을 판결하시고, 원근 각처에 있는 열강 사이의 갈등을 해결하실 것이니, 나라마다 칼을 쳐서 보습을 만들고 창을 쳐서 낫을 만들 것이며, 나라와 나라가 칼을 들고 서로를 치지 않을 것이며, 다시는 군사 훈련도 하지 않을 것이다. 미가서 4:3

US, South Korean and International Civil Society Organizations Call for the Suspension of US-ROK Combined Military Exercises
We, the undersigned civil society organizations in the United States, South Korea, and around the world, call on President Biden to suspend the annual US-South Korea (ROK) combined military exercises. Suspending these costly and highly provocative war exercises will be a crucial step toward re-starting genuine diplomacy with North Korea (DPRK). It will remove a formidable obstacle to a peaceful resolution of the ongoing 70-year-old Korean War and allow all parties to focus on other intractable global issues facing our nations today, such as creating a nuclear weapons-free world and resolving the current COVID-19 pandemic.
In the mid-1950s, just after the Korean War, the US and ROK began combined military exercises in South Korea that prepare for war with North Korea. In the 1970s the drills developed into large-scale exercises that mobilize considerable weapons, equipment and the deployment of US troops stationed in both South Korea as well as US bases outside the Korean Peninsula. Since the 2000s they have been based on operation plans that reportedly include pre-emptive strikes and “decapitation measures” against the North Korean leadership. Due to their scale and provocative nature, the annual US-ROK combined exercises have long been a trigger point for heightened military and political tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
For years these combined military exercises have involved the use of B-2 bombers (which are designed to drop nuclear bombs), nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines, as well as the firing of long-range artillery and other weapons. They not only increased tensions on the Korean Peninsula, they have cost US taxpayers billions of dollars and have caused irreparable harm to local residents and the environment in South Korea.
At a time when the world is facing urgent humanitarian, environmental, and economic crises, these military exercises divert critically needed resources away from our capacity to provide true human security such as healthcare, a sustainable environment, and other priorities. Furthermore, they heighten geopolitical tensions and risk re-igniting a hot war on the Korean Peninsula, which would have catastrophic consequences for millions of people.
We want peace talks, not war drills and military confrontation. We urge the Biden Administration to resolve the root cause of the conflict between the United States and North Korea — the unresolved Korean War — which has driven a dangerous arms race, harmed the most vulnerable people through punishing sanctions, and enforced the tragic separation of hundreds of thousands of Korean families. Continuing to rely on isolation, pressure, and threats to force North Korea’s unilateral denuclearization is a recipe for failure.
Suspending the combined military exercises will be a major confidence-building measure toward renewing diplomacy to resolve the longstanding 70-year-old conflict with North Korea and, ultimately, achieve permanent peace and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
