North Korea Declaration of Independence

The people of North Korea have come to petition this formal document of independence between the existing government of North Korea and ourselves. Kim Jong-II, the current leader, has violated our inalienable rights as human beings and, consequently, we are pursuing the right to branch off from this existing government. The current situation that we are experiencing in North Korea is intolerable; therefore, we are declaring independence from the existing North Korean government. We the people, agree that all mankind shall be treated equally. When a government is established, the main driving force is for the protection of people’s rights. If this government fails to pursue with securing these rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we the citizens of North Korea, have full and total rights to abolish and reconfigure the government by proceeding to protect these rights. The history of the present ruler of North Korea is a clear history of bypassing these rights. Our demands for independence are based on facts documented below.

The government does not give us the rights to modify or alter our government.

The government doesn’t allow the people of North Korea to leave the country or make any foreign contact.

Kim Jong II established up to ten concentration camps that contain 200,000 to 250,000 people, which have death rates of up to 25% per year.

The government did not take legal actions against police officials who beat and tortured people for miniscule infractions.

Anyone who is overheard saying something hostile to the Ruler may be tortured, imprisoned, or executed.

The government has sent people accused of crimes to detention centers without a fair trial.

Citizens of North Korea who were considered hostile to the government or who committed political crimes were sent to political prison camps for an indefinite period.

The Government has stolen food from prisoners at detention centers.

The Government only gives its citizens legal representation and the right to a fair trial to those accused of political crimes.

There have been many incidents of inhumane acts including severe beatings, electric shock, prolonged periods of exposure to the elements, humiliations such as public nakedness, being forced to kneel or sit immobilized for long periods, being hung by the wrists or forced to stand up and sit down to the point of collapsing, and forcing mothers to watch the infanticide of their newborns.

Two officials from the Ministry of Electric Industry were seemingly executed for shutting down the electricity supply.

Four soldiers beat and killed a security guard after he refused to give them the potatoes he was guarding.

There was a disappearance of 22 North Koreans who were repatriated after floating into South Korean waters.

The citizens have been used as forced labor to perform such tasks as logging, mining, or tending crops under inhumanely harsh conditions.

Many prisoners in political prison camps are not expected to survive. The government continues to deny the existence of political prison camps.

We the people, as citizens of North Korea declare independence from the regime of Kim Jong II. As independent citizens, we demand the right to decide on what manner of government would suit us best. Without further delay and with total commitment we declare independence and bestow back those natural rights to the citizens of North Korea.

=Declaration of Independence (Draft) =

We the people of North Korea have come to petition this formal document of independence between the existing government of North Korea and ourselves. You have violated our inalienable rights as human beings and, with that, we pursue the right to branch off from this existing government. The current state that we inhabit in North Korea is intolerable; therefore we are in need to declare independence from the North Korean government. Mankind was created equal and to be all treated equal. When a government is established, the one motivation it shall situate its self for is the protection of people’s rights. If in doubt this government fails to pursue with securing these rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we the citizens of North Korea, have full and total rights to abolish and reconfigure the government in proceeding to protect these rights. The history of the present rulers of North Korea is a clear history of bypassing these rights and dictatorship over us. To prove our set minds, let facts second our opinions:

The government does not give us the rights to modify or alter our government. The government doesn’t allow the people of North Korea to leave the country or make any foreign contact. They established up ten concentration camps that contain 200,000 to 250,000 people, which have a death rate of up to 25% per year. The government did not take legal actions against police officials who beat and tortured people for miniscule cause. Anyone who is overheard saying something in vein of the king will be tortured, executed, or imprisoned. Their have been and are many methods of inhumane acts or torture including severe beatings, electric shock, prolonged periods of exposure to the elements, humiliations such as public nakedness, being forced to kneel or sit immobilized for long periods, being hung by the wrists or forced to stand up and sit down to the point of collapsing, and forcing mothers watch the infanticide of their newborn infants. Two officials from the Ministry of Electric Industry were seemingly executed for shutting down the electricity supply. Four soldiers beat and killed a security guard after he refused to give them the potatoes he was guarding. There was a disappearance of 22 North Koreans who were repatriated after floating into South Korean waters. Torturing through labor consisted of such tasks as logging, mining, or tending crops under harsh conditions. Citizens of North Korea who were considered hostile to the government or who committed political crimes were sent to political prison camps for an indefinite period. Many prisoners in political prison camps were not expected to survive. The government continued to deny the existence of political prison camps. We therefore the people all come together by name and authority of North Korea in order to sincerely declare independence from the current government. As independent citizens, we have the right to come to a decision on what manner of government would suit us best. We are permissible to declare peace or war with anyone. Without further ado and with a firm grip, we mutually agree on our lives, our property, and our pursuit of happiness, that to declare independence would be in doubt the most honorable fixation to achieve.
