toc =Declaration of Independence (Final) = North Korean Declaration of Independence Since the beginning of civilization people have endeavored to create and therefore become part of something larger than its parts. These great structures are known as governments. People formed governments to protect themselves, to preserve their rights as humans, and to be able to coordinate themselves to reach what was thought impossible. However when government fails to achieve its goals - inequality ensues. People are brought under the government’s power, no longer treated as equals, and crushed under the its oppressive regime. As such we will outline our reasons for separation from the North Korean dictatorship. As humans we believe that all have certain rights, which include, security and freedom of thought and expression. To protect these ideas, governments work as a body of peers, given authority by the citizens. It should constantly respond to what the nation and the people want or need and should react accordingly. This is a social contract between the government and the people who empower it. However when a government, through its repeated actions, violates this social contract, it is imperative that the citizens should no longer hold up their end of the social contract. Instead, they should work to overthrow that government and put in place a new one in which they are treated as equals, can feel safe, and become productive members of society. The many horrendous abuses upon our kind and loving people over the past 62 year by the North Korean dictatorship have proved contrary to the basic rights and beliefs we hold dear, which are as follows: People in the sovereign state of North Korea are constantly denied access to the outside world and are brutally executed should they attempt to contact the outside world. People are denied access to all foreign broadcasts and media such as radio, television, news, books, and even videotapes. Instead, they are expected to listen religiously to the various broadcasts transmitted by the government stations. The government instantly and harshly punishes anyone who attempts to vocalize and spread differing views and ideals. People persecuted by the law are punished with barely any hope of a fair trial or an appeal process. As such the government is beginning to rely on fear and propaganda to keep control over the people. The government ignores or refuses to listen to any complaints made by the citizens. The wealth and power are accumulated by a small “core” while the rest are left to suffer. To gain this wealth and power the government exploits the citizens for wealth instead of the citizens using the government for safety and protection. Not only internal but also external pressures have been put upon this government in an attempt to reach peace and allow the people in the country to be treated with more dignity and respect. Firstly, access to move freely about the country has been denied to all foreigners, including politicians, representatives, and the international press. These people would help bring awareness of our plight. But we are refused access. Still the UN continues to send humanitarian aid to the North Koreans in an attempt to lift us out of poverty and better the relations between the international community and North Korea. In response the government continues to deny access to the country. Also on March 28, 2010 a North Korean submarine made an unprovoked attack on a South Korean warship. Many threats have been made to western countries by the North Korean government and caused unnecessary escalation. The many abuses by the North Korean government have shown the constant disregard for the wellbeing of it citizens. Its lack of attention to its citizens caused it to revert to fear tactics to keep control. Even worse, its complete denial of any problems is both appalling and dangerous. As such, we call upon all people in this beautiful land, poisoned by the regime of Kim Jong-Il, to rise up and proclaim that we have had enough and are withdrawing the trust and faith we have placed in the current government. This declaration drafted in the year 2010 intends to create a complete and thorough severance between the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea and the dictatorship of Kim Jong-Il.
