Northeast Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone -Conception, Prospect, Task
Summarized by Lee Soo Hyun
2006.10.27
1. Nuclear Weapon Free Zone
The Passage of 4 preexistence NWFZ
-Treaty of Tlatelolco : Latin America
-Treaty of Rarotonga : the South Pacific
-Bangkok Treaty: Southeast Asia
-Treaty of Pelindaba : Africa
Therefore, including the Antarctic, half of the land is Nuclear Free Zone
The denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula & a joint declaration
-Common factors of NWFZ : no development , no attack, institution of organization for treaty compliance
Negative Security Assurance (no attack) from a nuclear power is attentional
2. Concept of Northeast Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone
3+3 Nuclear Weapon Free Zone
South Korea, North Korea, Japan conclude a Northeast Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone Treaty & United States, China, Russia participate at protocol of Northeast Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone including Negative Security Assurance
(+ Mongolia and Taiwan)
Difference between Northeast Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone and Joint Declaration of the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula: control the tension between China and Japan, decrease the excuse of Security Treaty between Japan and the United States, and decrease the wariness against Japan
3. Northeast Asia Model: Nuclear Weapon Free Zone Treaty
Characteristics
Meaning as a cooperative collective security of Northeast Asia
Strengthening the Obligation of Nuclear power around
Being original place as a good movement of civil society
Eliminating the dependence of Nuclear weapon
Issues and Tasks
Feasibility of participation: United States, North Korea, Japan
Imbalance by means of potential energy of nuclear materials: Japan need to reduce nuclear use (The Recycle Equipment Test Facility [RETF] in Rokkasho-mura)
Inspection of a nuclear power plant and verification problem
Airplane and ship carrying nuclear materials
4. North Korea Nuclear Problem and Northeast Asia NWFZ
-Realization of United States Nuclearism in the Korean Peninsula
-North Korea Nuclear Problems
-Geographical position of the Korean peninsula
However, we must not indulge the pessimistic realism
5. Movement of NWFZ self-governing system
Japan - NWFZ self-governing system: Kobe
-Content: Incoming vessels must submit the certificate of non-nuclear materials
-Meaning: a local autonomous entity embodied the non-nuclear principle
-Restriction: submitting the certificate of non-nuclear materials is not provided in the law, force from the United States, and Japan’s policy called ‘total complete dependence upon the United States’
Europe - NWFZ self-governing system:
-restriction of the law : central government has more power than local government
-announcement of Manchester city in England and Ypres in Belgium as a NWFZ
New Zealand - NWFZ self-governing system
-geopolitical aspect: of New Zealand: far from other states
-Civil society arouse the sympathy from nuclear threat
Suggestion for Korea
-There are not self-governing systems and participating cities for NWFZ and some people don’t know about the existence of self-governing system. Therefore, our local communities should have recognition about global current circumstance.
