Declaration of Independence: North Korea The government of Kim Jong II, in place today in our country of North Korea, is an abusive regime. For many years, this government has not respected our rights and has abused our people. We must disavow the Kim Jong II government, this government is a dictatorship that disregards our word and mistreats our people. Every day we see the abuses both physical and mental that this government inflicts on our citizens. It is now time for the people of North Korea to end our association with this government, redefine our government and plot a new future. This Declaration of Independence shall detail the natural rights of our people and the purpose of our new government. The government has several important purposes, including protecting all our people, providing a safe society, allowing freedom of speech, and the pursuit of happiness by our people. Our new government will protect the rights of the people and respect our citizens. People in our fine nation of North Korea all deserve to have natural rights, including life liberty and property. The people deserve political equality, freedom of movement, freedom of speech and the right to own property. These rights will apply to all people, and the government cannot take these natural rights away. Our government will provide a body of law for our society and allow our citizens to enter into a social contract. Our government will consist of elected representatives who will make laws that protect all of our people fairly. The elections will be open to all citizens and people who will be allowed to vote freely in a private ballot for the representatives that they want in the government. If the government does not respect the rights of the people the people will have the right to change the government.

The government of Kim Jong II has failed to respect the natural rights of our people and has abused our people for many years. People do not have freedom of speech and have been afraid to say what they believe for fear of abuse or even execution. This government is extremely distrustful of its citizens. All citizens are required to spy on each other and report to the government on anyone who says anything critical of the government. The government monitors private correspondence and telephone calls between its citizens and prohibits international calls. It is so distrustful that random government security checks occur at private homes. The government of Kim Jong II has no courts and no due process system; they put people in prison, torture people and kill prisoners without having to prove the person committed any crime. Government concentration camps hold many political prisoners in very harsh conditions. The Kim Jong II government uses unlawful public executions as a way to instill fear in our community. This government does not provide any basic rights or even necessities to its citizens. Many people are starving and malnutrition is very common. Finally, the government has prohibited emigration and has restricted the movement of its citizens within the country so there is no way to escape this regime.

We must put an end to this horrible tyranny. The People’s Democratic Congress of North Korea has made written requests to make law changes but these requests have been ignored. We formally declare that we the people of North Korea have the right to be free and independent, to chart our own future. We peacefully declare that all connections to the government of Kim Jong II are hereby terminated, and our people are free of his totalitarianism. Our new government has the right to take direction from our citizens and we pledge to respect them and protect them. As the free and independent country of North Korea, we have the right to start a war, negotiate peace, collaborate with other foreign countries, build our economy, and have all other rights and powers that other independent governments possess. We pledge to honor, respect and represent all the men, women and children of North Korea and to assure them that they will have the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. We hereby sign this Statement of Independence on the second day of November in the year of 2010.
