済州海軍基地建設の中断と東アジア平和を求める世界市民の声明
2012年、韓国の李明博政府および海軍は、済州道民を含む韓国民のたび重なる要請にもかかわらず、済州海軍基地建設を強行している。世界的に美しい名所として数えられる済州島クロンビ岩が爆破されるたび、済州道民と韓国民は政府と海軍の独断と詐欺と野蛮に怒っている。
李明博政府は絶対保存地域の指定を無断解除するなど、あらゆる不法と脱法をほしいままにしている。すでに海軍基地の設計上の問題点が技術検証を通じて明らかになったことで、民軍複合観光美港という主張が嘘であることが暴露された。それにも関わらず李明博政府は、何ら問題がないと強弁しながら国民を最後まで欺瞞している。
特に韓国の国防部はクルーズ船が2隻同時入港できる民軍複合観光美港を建設すると済州道民を説得した。しかしシミュレーションを通じてクルーズ船２隻が同時に入港することが不可能だということが暴露されるや、もう一つの嘘をついて欺瞞しようとしている。すなわち『昨年末を基準にして全世界で運航中のクルーズ船345隻のなかで15万トン級は5隻に過ぎない』、『15万トン級船舶2隻が同時に済州に入港する確率は希薄』だとして国民のまえに自らの嘘を糊塗している。
兵器があるところ殺傷と戦争がある。平和の島、済州に軍港を建設し、爆弾とミサイルが搬入されれば、東北アジアの軍事的バランスは崩れ、自然に緊張が高まる。 万一、戦争が発生すれば、東アジア全体は戦争危機に置かれ、済州島は島全体が火薬庫になる可能性が大きい。
済州のクロンビ岩とその一帯の海と海岸は美しい景観をなす天恵の観光地であり、東アジア人がともに享受しうる生態保存地域である。済州には希少動植物が生息しているのでユネスコは2002年にユネスコ生物圏保存地域に指定した。韓国政府も2004年に文化財庁の天然記念物保護区域だと公布した。また2004年10月、済州道は形状変更が事実上不可能な絶対保全地域に指定された。特に、クロンビ岩の海岸は20ヶ所以上の湧泉水が湧き出ているので住民にとって無くてはならない生活の場である。
このような価値を認識した済州道民と韓国民は、声を合わせて海軍基地建設の中断を要求し抵抗してきた。しかし李明博政府は2010年以降の2年間に329人を逮捕・連行した。政府は特殊部隊まで動員して民間人を暴行するなど、組織暴力団と何ら変わらない蛮行を犯している。また政府は農道の廃止と関連して西帰浦市長を脅迫し、クルーズ船舶の出入り港技術検証委員たちに圧力をかけるなどの職権濫用もほしいままにしている。
韓国民は李明博大統領に5年の統治権を与えたのみであり、国を自分の好き勝手に独断してもよいという超越的特権を付与したことはない。海軍基地建設の強行は、世界的価値を持つ済州の自然を復元できないところにまで破壊しつくす重大事であるのみならず、東アジアの平和を破壊する主犯となるだろう。
よって、済州島の自然と生命を大切に思い、東アジアと世界の平和を愛する世界市民たちは、次のように強く要求する。
１．李明博政府は、脱法・不法の済州海軍基地工事を直ちに中断せよ。
２．韓国の政治圏は李明博政府の国民欺瞞と人権じゅうりん事件の真相を究明するための国政調査実施、および特別検事制導入をただちに推進せよ。
３．ウ・グンミン済州道知事は済州道の首長として埋め立て免許取り消しなど、工事を中断しうる全ての行政的・実質的な措置を取れ。
４．米国政府と米軍は済州海軍基地建設の真実を明らかにし、東アジアと世界の平和を脅かす軍事覇権主義をただちに撤回せよ。
５．日本政府は済州道と日本の平和を脅かす済州海軍基地建設に決して協力するな。また日本の軍国主義的態度を反省せよ。
６．ドイツとカナダの良心的市民たちは世界平和を脅かす済州海軍基地建設の中断を要求する平和運動に積極的に参加せよ。
2012年3月20日
平和と自然を愛する韓国、日本、米国、カナダ、ドイツの市民一同

Stop the Jeju Naval Base Construction:
An Urgent Call for Global Support to Restore Justice in South Korea and
Preserve Peace in East Asia
Despite sustained protests by local citizens and increasing international criticism, the South Korean Government and its Navy have recently begun blasting parts of a treasured world-heritage site on Jeju Island in South Korea in order to proceed with the construction of a naval base, a military project that also threatens peace in the wider East Asian region. The naval base construction has set off popular turmoil in response to its destructive blasting of the Gureombi coastline, located at a site of exceptional historical and geological significance in Jeju, which is recognized globally for its exquisite natural beauty and unique biodiversity. Each time an explosive blast detonates at Gureombi, the South Korean Government and Navy betray their fundamental responsibility of environmental stewardship with ruthlessness and dishonesty, which have infuriated Korean citizens, drawing further condemnation from concerned observers all over the world.
The South Korean Administration under President Lee Myung-Bak has acted unlawfully and illegitimately by proceeding with this naval base construction despite Gureombi’s inclusion in the “Absolute Preservation Zone,” an area strictly protected from development by South Korean legal regulations. The Lee Administration has attempted to justify the construction by ostensibly removing Gureombi from the Absolute Preservation Zone, but this exclusion occurred without due process and against the wishes of a majority of Jeju residents and other Korean citizens. The Lee Administration has also tried to garner support by claiming it would develop the area into an attractive military-civilian tourist port, but a technical assessment of the plans for the naval base exposed serious flaws in the design that gives the lie to the government’s claims. Nevertheless, the Lee Administration continues to deny the existence of such design problems in a deliberate attempt to deceive the public and to downplay the enormous damage it is inflicting on both the natural environment and the regional conditions for peace.
There is every reason to believe that the South Korean government is building this base in collaboration with the U.S. government and military, given the Mutual Defense Treaty whereby "the Republic of Korea grants, and the United States of America accepts, the right to dispose United States land, air and sea forces in and about the territory of the Republic of Korea as determined by mutual agreement." If constructed, the naval base will be used to project U.S. power in the region, especially as part of a strategy to contain China, in alliance with Japan.
Where there are weapons, there are killing and war. The construction of the Jeju naval base cannot help but disrupt the military balance in the region, exacerbating existing tensions, and greatly increasing the possibility of war, one that could quickly engulf the entire region and perhaps the world.
The shores and coastline at Gureombi comprise a celebrated ecological preservation zone and scenic tourist destination, where people from throughout East Asia and the world can together appreciate the extraordinary beauty of the natural environment. Although UNESCO designated Jeju Island in 2002 as a Biosphere Reserve, the island has a fragile ecology where flora and fauna still face the danger of extinction. The South Korean government also declared Jeju as a Natural Heritage Protection Zone, a measure authorized by the Cultural Heritage Administration. In October 2004, Jeju Island was designated as an Absolute Preservation Zone by the South Korean Government, which prohibited any development or other changes that would alter the landscape. Furthermore, the Gureombi seashore is critically important to the islanders because that area includes several Yongcheonsu springs. These springs provide a precious source of water essential to the livelihood of Jeju residents, who face an insufficient water supply due to the island’s volcanic terrain.
Recognizing the urgent need to preserve the island’s natural environment, Jeju residents and people throughout Korea have been united in resisting the naval base, demanding that its construction be stopped immediately. These protesters have faced harsh suppression by the Lee Administration, which has mobilized special military forces to unleash outrageously violent assaults and attacks on the resisters. The South Korean government is therefore implicated in these brutal acts that represent grossly excessive police force and human-rights violations. In further abuses of power, members of the Lee Myung-Bak Administration have threatened criminal charges and administrative penalties against local Jeju officials who tried to defend the interests of island residents, while the South Korean government also pressured the Technical Assessment Committee to alter its projections so that falsified data would put the naval-base construction plans in a more favorable light.
The Korean people granted President Lee Myung-Bak only a 5-year period of governance, not the transcendental privilege to do anything he wishes, particularly when those actions will leave a legacy of irreversible environmental damage and military instability. The naval-base construction will not only irrevocably destroy the beautiful ecology of Jeju but also dangerously undermine the peace of East Asia.
Recognizing the many critical interests at stake -- the invaluable asset of Jeju Island’s natural ecology and biodiversity; the importance of upholding the rule of law and the rights of Jeju residents and other Koreans; and the necessity to protect peace in East Asia and the world -- concerned citizens from all over the world urgently demand the following:
1. The Lee Myung-Bak Administration must immediately cease the illegitimate and illegal construction of the naval base in Jeju Island.
2. We call for South Korean Congressional and Special Prosecutor investigations to probe the serious accusations of fraud and human-rights violations that have been widely alleged against members of the Lee Myung-Bak Administration in connection with the naval-base construction.
3. The Governor of Jeju Province, Woo Geunmin, must take all necessary administrative actions to impede the naval-base construction, such as the cancellation of permits that were unlawfully secured to proceed with the project.
4. The U.S. government and military must acknowledge their support for and involvement in the construction of the Jeju naval base and end their militaristic policies, which threaten the peace in East Asia and the world.
5. The Japanese government must not collaborate in constructing the Jeju naval base, which threatens the peace and security of its own people, and must abandon its militarist orientation.
6. Conscientious citizens around the world must actively mobilize their peace movements to demand the stoppage of the Jeju naval base construction, which threatens the peace of the world.
Concerned citizens from all over the world who are committed to peace and the preservation of nature
