The Right to life is being abused by way of a deprivation of economic justice as well as action undertaken under National Security Laws . Many are losing their livelihood and are facing ejectment from their houses, lands and neighborhoods. Women are forced into extreme situations of poverty and indignity and millions of children face destitution. The from of government that is beings encouraged is the one that deals with its people with a heavy hand and for the benefit of 'the investors'. Even the investors from the first world countries of Asia, who are after cheap labour, forget their human obligations.
Social justice continues to be a distant goal.
We must remind ourselves that at the root of all massacres is the military culture which is designed for the purpose of denying economic justice. At the heart of the ideology of the new world order is a deadly morality which could routinely lead to events such as the Kwangju massacre. It is necessary to repudiate it, if we are talk to of Kwangju spirit in any authentic manner. The organizers have suggested an establishment of a human rights institute. We support the idea.
