toc =Declaration of Independence (Final) =  Nirenstein 1 Madison Nirenstein 11/2/10   U.S History-5 Declaration essay North Korea’s Independence Our government system in North Korea is disturbing and taking away all peoples unalienable rights such as their right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Therefore, we should be granted the rights held in this formal document due to the lack of freedom in the past. The government has been given a plethora of chances to change how they govern our nation and have failed to meet the standards each time. It is of all our authority to rid the government unless they allow us to be granted rights.

We as people make rights that the government must then protect. If they fail to do so, we have full authority to rebel against them because one of our unalienable rights has been tampered with. We must be given the rights to life, freedom, and happiness. People should be able to be free and happy while knowing they aren’t going to be killed-without even a court trial. It is important that the people have these rights; if they don’t, our nation will die out.

As stated before, the government has taken away our unalienable rights such as the right to life. Our government forced abortions, killed babies that were born into prisons, executed prisoners, abducted people, sexually abused women, and killed people based on their mental abilities. With all due respect, it is of our people’s authority to speak out and say this is completely unacceptable. Not only have innocents been killed, but they have been killed for reasons that have nothing to do with them breaking any of the governments laws. People are being tortured with electric shock, public nakedness, confinement in prison cells, and hot coals for reasons no one quite understands. Our violation of freedom has been abolished due to the lack of speech and religion. We have to follow exactly what the government says or else we will be killed or harshly punished. They attempted to control all our personal information, monitor us people physically and electronically and the elections held weren’t fair. The government has violated the rights to life, freedom, and our happiness. List of Abuses: Reported unlawful killings- post border guards had orders to shoot potential defectors and public executions were made. I n June four soldiers beat and killed a security guard after he refused to give them the potatoes he was guarding. In December 2008, officials executed Son Jong-nam, who was sentenced to death in 2006 for maintaining contacts with organizations outside the country.

No restriction on Government’s ability to detain imprisons at will- January the Sooseong Reeducation Center reportedly doubled the sentences of inmates near the end of their three- and four-year terms.

Internet access for citizens was limited to high-ranking officials and other designated elites, including select university students. Government prohibited public meetings not previously authorized.

Authorities publicly executed a woman on June 16th for distributing the Bible and sent her husband and three children to a prison camp. In 2007 Asia News reported that the army published and distributed a pamphlet to soldiers warning them about the dangers of Christianity and urging vigilance against its spread within the armed forces.

We—as--people have no choice other then to break away from the original government system. Along with all our rights being violated, we didn’t have many to begin with. If we don’t break away and start our own government then—as a nation—we will never be free or happy. We must be granted our unalienable rights and more. Our lives consist of constant torture and unfair accusations. It is of great authority that I speak for everyone in North Korea. We believe that as a nation you must grant us the right to life, freedom, and happiness, or we will break off and create our own form of government for our nation.
