UN General Assembly
1987

The Korean war ended with the division into two parts of Korean territory. Today the Korean people, whose common destiny springs from geography, culture and thousands of years of shared history, is suffering as a result of that division. The international community should not be indifferent to that tragedy. It should support the three-point plan of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, implementation of which would culminate in the constitution of a Democratic Federal Republic of Korea, in which each of the two Koreas would have the regime of its choice pending final reunification. At the end of that process, Korea could be admitted to the United Nations as a single, United national entity. Any other solution would serve to perpetuate the present arbitrary division of the country. That is why we urge the international community and the United Nations to support the efforts to ensure reunification of the Korean homeland.
