Organization for the Suffering Second Generation of Korean Atomic Bomb Victims suggests international solidarity to the international civil society as follows,

Kim Hyeongyul

First, we strongly urge that the Korean government policy towards atomic victims be determined as ‘Support first, then verification’, in order to protect the ‘Right to Live’ and the ‘Right to Subsistence’ of the suffering second generation of Korean atomic bomb victims, suffering from diverse after-effects of the atomic bomb. Thus, we are looking forward to positive action and collaboration of international civic society about this problem.  
 

Second, Korean victims are sufferers of the atomic bomb against their will because of catastrophic misfortunes of the atomic bombs dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japanese imperialists’ illegal occupation of Korea and their exploitative colonial policy, as well as the Japanese war of aggression. They, consequently, live of miserable life infringement upon their personal rights for over sixty years due to ‘discriminative policy in an application of the Relief Law of Japanese government. That is the predicament we are placed with. That is why we urge international civil solidarity to find a solution and the rightful recognition of the problem regarding the second generation of Korean victims suffering from the after-effects of the atomic bomb.
 

Third, the U.S. government’s dropping of the atomic bomb in August of 1945 was truly an immoral act against humanity. The two bombing effected 700 thousand people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki; 230 thousand killed on site, on contact. It created 70,000 Korean atomic victims, and this occupies 10 percent of the total victims, and 40,000 of them were killed at the site. In this way, the atomic bomb devastated the lives of many people as survivors of the atomic bomb continue to suffer from pain and disease due to the unprecedented after-effects of the atomic bomb. This second generation, children of victims directly impacted by an atomic bomb, suffer with multiple after-effects. We appeal to international civil society to join the call to U.S. government to account for the immoral dropping of the atomic bombs. We are about to let international community know what needs to be done to protect human kind from the atrocity of nuclear weapons. Furthermore, we will always make an effort to keep permanent peace via the projection of human rights and for the preservation of human rights against the brutality of nuclear weapons.
