When the preparatory work for the event was underway, the regime unreasonably interfered in it, barring representatives of the south, the north and abroad from holding the joint event.

The Park regime, by origin, had not allowed NGOs to take the lead in sponsoring the event, they charged.

Noting the regime doesn't hope for peaceful reunification, they continued:

Park often talks about "unification" but her behavior is quite contrary to it.

She is still keeping the "May 24 measure" in force to block north-south exchange and the tour of Mt. Kumgang, a symbol of north-south reconciliation, has not yet been resumed.

Despite the strong opposition by the north, the UN "office for human rights in the north" was set up in Seoul in June last.
