The government raised its arms to defend itself against the North Korean War Prohibition Act (Revised Inter-Korean Relations Development Act). “There is no evidence that the extension of the war to North Korea improves human rights in North Korea,” he denied criticism of the international community for anti-democratic and anti-human rights legislation. The approval of the law is interpreted as a desire to break with negative public opinion by responding more actively to the controversy over the punishment for the dissemination of leaflets.
The Unification Ministry pointed out in the explanatory data on the 15th that “extending the war to North Korea can only cause adverse effects that worsen the human rights of North Koreans.” There is a misunderstanding in the common perception that “the flyer will inject outside information into North Korean society and lead change from below.” This is a logic that has gone a step further from the point of view of “How to protect the lives of people in the border area from armed conflicts that can trigger the spread of scissors.”
The Unification Ministry said: “The pamphlets disseminated mainly by North Korean defectors rather tightened the social control of the North Korean authorities to endanger the remaining North Korean refugee families.” I testify that the delivery effect is not very good. “
The opposition party’s criticism of ‘Kim Yeo-jeong and Ha Myung-beop’ was also somewhat refuted. The Unification Ministry said: “Since the 18th National Assembly (during the Lee Myung-bak administration) in 2008, it recognized the problems caused by the war against North Korea and continued to promote legislation to regulate them, and until now, it has they have proposed 14 regulatory bills. ” After Labor Party First Vice Chairman Kim Yeo-jeong’s warning speech in June, the law was not enacted after North Korea took notice. Some media reporting that it is illegal to hand over a portable storage device for Korean dramas (USB) or rice on the border between North Korea and China was also not true. The Unification Ministry explained that the amendment does not apply to the simple delivery of goods through a third country.
Lee Nak-yeon, along with the representative of the Democratic Party, raised their hands to thank after the approval of a partial amendment to the law on the development of inter-Korean relations that prohibits the war against North Korea in the plenary session of the National Assembly on the afternoon of the 14.

On the 14th, when the National Assembly together with the Democratic Party resolved the law of war against North Korea, the American Joya responded with regret. “The United States Congress has long supported efforts to provide outside information to North Korea under a closed dictatorship, where the bipartisan majority is closed,” said Republican House Foreign Relations Committee Secretary Michael McCawul. , in Voice of the United States. It depends on North Korea becoming like South Korea. It is not the other way around. “” President Jae-in Moon is doing everything he can to help North Korea, not his own interests, “said Gordon Chang, a conservative expert on the Korean Peninsula.
The opinions of national experts are also divided on the effects of the North Korean War Mission on promoting human rights. Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the North Korean Graduate School, said: “The war against North Korea also worsens the human rights of North Koreans, as residents who find the war subject to surveillance.” “There are two sides,” said Han-beom Cho, senior fellow at the Korean Institute for National Unification. It also seems undesirable to block.
