Settlement of "Comfort Women" Issue Urged in S. Korea

    Pyongyang, July 10 (KCNA) -- The Council for the Solution of the Issue of the Volunteers Corps and other organizations concerned in south Korea reportedly called a news conference in front of the "constitutional court" on July 5, in which they demanded the "government" show zeal for an early settlement of the issue of the victims to the drafting of "comfort women" for the imperial Japanese army. The victims to "comfort women" drafting told the reporters that the south Korean "government" was not fulfilling its duty, fearing friction with Japan, far from endeavoring for the settlement of the issue, though the victims were living in misfortunes and sufferings after their human rights were violated by Japan.
    Recalling that the "government" clarified its stand not to demand compensation of the Japanese government, under the excuse of "preventing argument of attrition with the Japanese side", they said this was an attitude of evading its legal obligation to the victims and an act of disregarding their demand and efforts.
    The press release read out at the press conference urged the "government" to take positive steps to wrest full apology and compensation from the Japanese government which is trying to evade responsibility of any form after committing anti-human right crimes.
    The press release urged the "constitutional court" to pass a decision on the wrong act of the "government" regarding the issue of the victims to the drafting of "comfort women".

Anti-U.S., Anti-War Actions Called for in S. Korea

    Pyongyang, July 10 (KCNA) -- The Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration in south Korea reportedly released an appeal "Let us turn out as one in the struggle against the U.S. and war and for the withdrawal of its forces from south Korea in order to put an end to the humiliating history of foreign presence" on July 6. No force on earth can provoke the Koreans when they go united, the appeal noted, calling for uprooting the consciousness of division, confrontation and flunkeyism and holding higher the banner of great national unity.
    Underscoring the need to put an end to the humiliating history of foreign forces presence through pan-national actions against the U.S. and war and for the pullback of U.S. forces, the appeal urged all the Koreans to dynamically advance for a new era of June 15 independent reunification full of conviction of victory.

U.S. Reckless War Scheme under Fire

    Pyongyang, July 10 (KCNA) -- Now the U.S.-led joint military exercises RIMPAC-2006 in the Pacific waters have reached the highest pitch. Rodong Sinmun in a commentary Monday brands the large-scale exercises staged by the U.S. imperialists after the Cold War as an extremely provocative and dangerous gamble aimed at the second Korean war.
    Noting that the Bush team leaves no stone unturned in its attempts to ignite a new war on the Korean Peninsula, regarding the peninsula as the key link in implementing its Asia strategy of aggression, the analyst goes on:
    The U.S. has realigned and redeployed its armed forces as a whole in south Korea and around the peninsula involving Japan in preparation for a new Korean war. On the other hand, it put the plan for a war of aggression on Korea in a concrete form and is frantically staging a test and preliminary war under the plan.
    The U.S. imperialists claim that the RIMPAC-2006 war game is for "the security of sea routes" and "an action against terrorism." This, however, is a cunning ruse to cover up its aggressive and dangerous nature.
    Through the RIMPAC, the U.S. has refined in the past the mode of combat action of multi-national forces according to the aggressive military strategy toward Korea. This is evidenced by the fact that south Korea, Japan and other participants in the war gamble look forward to their involvement in NATO's "world partnership program."
    This move of the U.S. imperialists did not proceed merely from a scheme to expand NATO. Underlying it is their dangerous intention to drag the NATO forces into a Korean war of aggression.
    As the world is worried, a new war on the Korean Peninsula may entail catastrophic consequences.

Implementation of Inter-Korean Joint Declaration Called for

    Pyongyang, July 10 (KCNA) -- No force on earth can ever check the Korean nation's movement for national reunification advancing along the path of reunification and patriotism and the path of national independence indicated in the June 15 joint declaration, says Rodong Sinmun Monday in a signed article. It goes on:
    The joint declaration serves as a banner of victory encouraging the Korean nation aspiring after reconciliation, unity and reunification in its sacred cause of independent reunification.
    National independence is a basic principle of national reunification.
    The joint declaration developed national independence, undisputed truth instrumental in achieving national reunification and carving out the nation's destiny, into a patriotic idea warmly supported and actively implemented by Koreans from all walks of life at home and abroad irrespective of ideology. By underscoring the need to solve the reunification issue by the concerted efforts of the Koreans responsible for it, the declaration defined national independence as invariable guidelines to be maintained in the reunification movement common to the nation. National independence is the basic idea and spirit of the north-south joint declaration and its core.
    It also serves as a powerful engine for realizing national cooperation.
    National cooperation is the principal mode for the Korean nation in its struggle for independent reunification. The joint declaration translated national cooperation into reality. The idea of "By our nation itself" clarified in the joint declaration is, in essence, the idea of national cooperation. This idea calls for settling the nation's internal affair, the reunification issue by the concerted efforts of the Koreans through their discussion and cooperation under any circumstances, not through subservience or collusion with the outsider.
    The Korean nation has steadily stepped up the march for national reunification with a clear-cut goal full of confidence as the June 15 joint declaration has served as a landmark for independent national reunification.

It was his last autograph. These letters reflect the great life of the President who dedicated himself to the reunification and the prosperity of the nation.
    National reunification was the lifelong cause and desire of the President.
    The motherland the President had dreamt of during the protracted anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle was not the divided country.
    He, therefore, had put his heart and soul into the cause of national reunification from the first days after the national division by foreign forces.
    Under the complex and difficult situation after the liberation of the country, the President convened a historic Joint Conference of Representatives of Political Parties and Public Organizations in North and South Korea for the purpose of checking the permanent division of the nation and paving the way to the independent reunification.
    In each period of political developments, he put forward the five-point policy and three principles and 10-point programme of the great unity of the whole nation for national reunification and the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo and saw to it that the July 4 North-South Joint Statement was made public. They are most correct, realistic and rational ones brightly lighting the way to reunification.
    He authored many famous works and gave instructions for solving the reunification issue.
    He gave reunification-related instructions on scores of times in the period from June 20 to July 7, Juche 83 (1994) and left the historic autograph on the day before his demise.
    The lofty intention of the President associated with the autograph is being carried into reality by Kim Jong Il.
    True to the behest of the President, he took a decisive step to bring about the June 15 era, new times for the independent reunification.
    The Korean people will certainly accomplish the historic cause of national reunification, bearing the undying autograph of the President in mind.

For Spanish-speaking people

Rodong Sinmun denuncia intencion de provocacion de guerra de EE.UU.

    Pyongyang, 10 de julio (ATCC) -- El ejercicio militar conjunto "Rimpac-2006", que los imperialistas norteamericanos libran en el Pacifico, llega al tope. El presente ejercicio militar, que se despliega en gran envergadura despues de la guerra fria, reviste un provocativo y peligroso caracter tendente a desencadenar la segunda guerra coreana.
    Asi senala el diario Rodong Sinmun en un comentario individual del dia 10 y continua:
    La banda de Bush considera la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea como un eslabon clave para la realizacion de su estrategia de agresion a Asia y se apela a todos los medios y metodos para provocar una nueva guerra en la Peninsula Coreana.
    Para hacer frente a la nueva guerra coreana, EE.UU. reorganizo y reemplazo sus fuerzas armadas ocupantes del Sur de Corea y Japon. Por otra parte, segun el ya trazado plan de guerra de agresion a Corea libra freneticamente la guerra preliminar de ensayo.
    Los yanquis dicen que el ejercicio militar conjunto "Rimpac-2006" es para propiciar "seguridad de la via maritima" y "hacer frente al terror". Pero esta alegacion no pasa de ser una sutil artimana para ocultar la agresividad y peligrosidad de este ejercicio belico.
    A traves de "Rimpac-2006" EE.UU. vino preparando el modo de accion combativa de las fuerzas multinacionales segun la estrategia de agresion a Corea. Lo insinua el hecho de que el Sur de Corea y Japon participantes en el presente ejercicio belico preven su participacion en el "plan acompanante mundial" de la OTAN.
    Esto no es la ampliacion de la OTAN, sino entrana de incorporar a las fuerzas de la OTAN en la guerra de agresion a Corea.
    La guerra que se desate en la Peninsula Coreana puede generar una consecuencia catastrofica de que se preocupa el mundo.

Demanda invalidacion del "Convenio de administracion"

    Pyongyang, 10 de julio (ATCC) -- Todos los surcoreanos deben sumarse mas activamente a la lucha nacional por la independencia y antiyanqui por invalidar el "Convenio de administracion" entre el Sur de Corea y Estados Unidos y expulsar del suelo surcoreano a los uniformados yanquis, que devienen la causa de todas calamidades. 　Asi exhorta el portavoz de la direccion nortena del Comite Pannacional de Averiguacion Especial por Esclarecimiento de Verdaderos Aspectos de Crimenes de las Tropas Norteamericanas en su declaracion emitida el dia 8 con motivo del 40o aniversario de la concertacion del citado convenio y prosigue:
    　El "Convenio de administracion" inventado el 9 de julio de 1966 estipula el derecho a juicio penal y la indemnizacion por los crimenes, que cometan los uniformados yanquis o civiles trabajando para estas, a favor de los intereses de Estados Unidos, "legaliza" el derecho al uso gratuito de todas las instalaciones y zonas en posesion de aquellos y les libera de la obligacion de repararlas al estado original cuando las devuelvan.
    　Durante estos 40 anos posteriores a la concertacion de ese protocolo, los uniformados yanquis se portan con arrogancia como dominantes del Sur de Corea cometiendo sin vacilacion asesinatos, saqueo y otros crimenes de toda clase.
    　Amparados por esta leonina y desigual "garantia legal" (citado convenio), los criminales yanquis son entes extraterritoriales que nunca se someten a la sancion o al castigo.
    　En particular, se declararon inocentes hasta quienes asesinaron a sangre fria a dos alumnas de secundaria en 2002.
    　Por otra parte, EE.UU. desaloja a los habitantes surcoreanos de territorios que los sustentan e impone al Sur de Corea aumentar la "cuota en gastos de defensa" pretextando la "reubicacion de sus tropas" y el "traslado de bases", preparativos para provocar una guerra contra la RPDC.
    　Mientras permanezcan en el Sur de Corea las tropas yanquis y este vigente ese humillante "convenio", los surcoreanos no podran liberarse de desdichas y dolores que sufren hoy ni se garantizaran la paz del pais y la seguridad nacional.

Escuela Myongsin

    Pyongyang, 10 de julio (ATCC) -- La Escuela Myongsin esta en la comuna de Ponghwa del distrito de Kangdong de la ciudad de Pyongyang. Entrana las hazanas de Kim Hyong Jik, destacado dirigente del movimiento antijapones de liberacion nacional de Corea e indoblegable combatiente revolucionario.

    Luego de trasladar a la comuna de Ponghwa el centro de sus actividades revolucionarias fundo la escuela, enseno a los alumnos la lengua, historia, geografia, de Corea, matematica, cancion, etc. Ademas, ofrecio los efectos escolares a los ninos de las familias pobres y albergo en su casa a los alumnos que la frecuentaban desde lejos para atender con esmero el estudio y la vida de estos.
    Hizo que todo el contenido de ensenanza y actividades extraescolares de los alumnos se dedicaran a elevar el orgullo nacional e inculcar la idea patriotica antijaponesa. Dio la leccion de la valiente lucha del pueblo contra la invasion de los agresores extranjeros. Al divulgar ampliamente entre los alumnos y habitantes las canciones compuestas por si mismo "Cancion de la Escuela Myongsin" y "Cancion de avance", los educo en la idea patriotica y los llamo a la lucha antijaponesa. Dijo que los alumnos debian forjar primero el cuerpo y alma para asimilar mejor el contenido de la ensenanza y luchar con abnegacion por la independencia del pais. Para este fin, organizaba con frecuencia toda clase de competencias a saber, el juego militar y la lucha de la cuerda.
    Abrio la escuela nocturna para los jovenes campesinos.
    La escuela Myongsin fue un centro docente que cultivo la idea de Jiwon a los alumnos y otros habitantes y los estimulo a la lucha revolucionaria por rescatar el pais.
