toc =Declaration of Independence (Final) = Mary Grinnell 11/2/10 P. 2 Declaration of Independence – North Korea

**North Korea Declaration of Independence Final Draft** It has come to our attention, as the people of North Korea, that our Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-il, is treating us unjustly and that his laws are completely unreasonable. First, we believe that the government is using its power against us by denying us our right to practice our religious beliefs. Second, he is denying our right to elect a ruler for ourselves. Therefore, the following are our evidences of abuse of power and our reasons for declaring ourselves free from the rule of Kim Jong-il.

The job as the leader of the people is to keep the nation safe and satisfied. The sole purpose of a government is to secure public order and security, and the government of North Korea is not providing us with correct security or public order. We believe Kim Jong-il failed to do so since 1953. That is 57 years that the people have been deprived of our rights. We don’t have even //one// of the natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; therefore, we are living in a Dictatorship. Some of us are sent to concentration camps where we are tortured, raped, and starved; therefore, they are depriving us the natural right of liberty. The government conducts medical experiments on us, and we have no say if we would like to participate or not, which proves the leadership is denying us the right to pursuit of happiness. We are forced to work for the government and women are forced to have abortions if they are in jail, which is proof that the government is denying us the most important right; the right to life.

To show how much we have been deprived, we list only //some// of our mistreatments: Religious Rights: We are allowed no other religious belief groups unless someone who is linked to the government is there to supervise. Non-belief that the leader is all-powerful can lead to severe punishment. Some members of underground churches with different religious beliefs were beaten, arrested, killed, or tortured. Freedom of Speech: We are not allowed radio communications with other countries. Our family members and friends are required to report to the government if we are to overhear someone saying anything negative about them; therefore we are obligated to trust no one. Human Rights: Women in prison who are pregnant are forced to get abortions, if they do not do that, their baby will be killed at birth. The government has executed prisoners, thefts, and kidnappers when they could very well just be punished.

Because the government of North Korea is treating the people so poorly we declare ourselves independent from these laws and life styles. We alone will choose how we will live our lives now that we are free and independent. We will create a government and lives for ourselves that consists of the fair unalienable rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. We choose not to have anyone who may impose their unjust lawsupon our new society; therefore, we do not want anyone who is willing to obey these laws of North Korea now with us in our new society. As of November 4, 2010… we declare our independence from North Korea and choose to live our lives safely and in peace.

=Declaration of Independence (Draft) =

It has come to our minds, as the people of North Korea, that our Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-il, is treating us with unjust and completely unreasonable laws. We believe the government is using its power against us by giving us no right to religious beliefs, and the rights to elect a ruler for our men and women has been abused. Therefore we give reasons and evidence as to why we declare ourselves free from the rule of Kim Jong-il.

Your job as the government of the people is to keep our people safe and satisfied. We believe you have failed to do so from the year of 1953 to present day. That is 57 years you have been depriving us of our rights. You are not giving us even //one// of the natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; therefore we are living in a Dictatorship. Some of us live in concentration camps where we are tortured, raped, starved, are part of medical experiments without any say as to if we would like to participate or don’t, and are put through forced labor and abortions. We have also been denied the right to contact other places and even listen to their radio stations, which is inequitable for you to bestow that law upon us.

To show how much you have deprived us, we list only //some// of the acts you have treated us with: Religious Rights: We are allowed no other religious belief groups unless someone who is with the government supervises them. Non-belief that the leader is all-powerful can lead to severe punishments. Freedom of Speech: Not allowed radio communications with other countries. Family members and friends are required to spy on each other to see if someone is saying anything negative about the government and the leader and report it to them.

Human Rights: Women in prison who are pregnant are forced to get abortions or a baby is sometimes killed upon death. There are prisoners, thefts, and kidnappers who have been executed and we believe taking away the right to ones life if wrong when you can just punish them.

Because the government of North Korea is treating the people so poorly we declare ourselves independent from their laws and life style. We alone will choose how we will live our lives now that we are free and independent. We will create a government and life for ourselves that consists of the fair unalienable rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. We choose not to have anyone who may influence the unjust laws upon our new society; therefore we do not want anyone who is willing to obey your laws now with us in our new lifestyle. As of November 1, 2010… we declare our independence from North Korea and choose to live our lives safely and in peace, which you did not provide for us while we were under your strict rule.
