It goes on:

The south Korea-U.S. "mutual defense treaty" is an aggressive, shackling and unequal one as it has disturbed inter-Korean reconciliation, unity and reunification and imposed upon the south Korean people only submission, disgrace, misfortune and disaster on the basis of justification of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces' permanent presence in south Korea and the moves for a war against the north.

The U.S. has maintained and reinforced its military presence in south Korea on the strength of the treaty.

The south Korean puppet regime is not in a position to protest against arrogant GIs' all sorts of arbitrary practices but meets any demand of the U.S. just to please its American master. This is the deplorable reality brought about by the humiliating and shackling relations imposed upon south Korea by the treaty.

The treaty is a main factor of creating an extreme danger of a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula and blocking the processes to mend the inter-Korean relations and achieve national reunification.

Recently the U.S. has tightened its political and military ties with south Korea, vitiating the hard-won atmosphere of dialogue and escalating tension.

What the treaty has brought to the Korean nation is nothing but continued division, deterioration of the north-south relations and increasing danger of a nuclear war.

The reality goes to clearly prove that the treaty is a stumbling block lying in the way of achieving national sovereignty, peace on the Korean Peninsula and the reunification of the country.
