Minju Joson Dismisses "Jongmi Seven-point Treaty" as Illegal
|

Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- "The Jongmi Seven-point Treaty" was a fraudulent document lacking any binding power as it was fabricated by those who had no certificates investing them with full power, quite contrary to the norms of international and domestic laws amid the armed threat and blackmailing of the Japanese imperialists. Minju Joson Sunday says this in a bylined article. The Japanese imperialists cooked up the treaty on July 24, 1907 by brigandish means without getting the consent of Sunjong, the "new Emperor" after dethroning Kojong, the man responsible for the conclusion of the treaty, the article says, adding: The signatories to the treaty did not have the above-said certificates and the treaty failed to get the signature of Kojong, the supreme sovereign of Korea at that time. And they robbed the Korean Emperor of the seal of the state and the foreign minister of his seal to put them on the text of the "treaty". These facts go to clearly prove that the "treaty" was an illegal and fraudulent document fabricated in wanton violation of international law on the signing and ratification of treaties. The Japanese reactionaries are running the whole gamut of petty tricks to justify their history of aggression, talking about the "legitimacy" of Japan's past aggression on Korea, the article notes, and goes on: They are working hard to realize their military reinvasion of Korea again, zealously taking advantage of the U.S. strategy of dominating Asia. They would be well advised to stop their rash acts and sincerely redress all the crimes Japan committed against the Korean people. |
