Supporting the UN’s Role for Peace on the Korean Peninsula

QUNO works for opportunities to promote dialogue for peace on the Korean Peninsula following a tense 70-year armistice.

Seventy years ago, an armistice brought an end to active fighting on the Korean Peninsula, but it did not bring about a peace agreement or end the war. To this day, tensions on the Korean Peninsula remain dangerously high. At the UN in New York, resolutions and debates regarding the conflict focus on punitive measures against DPRK and a strategy of isolation, particularly through sanctions. Working in partnership with our colleagues at the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and leaders from other ecumenical organizations, QUNO seeks out opportunities to promote dialogue and engagement for peace on the Korean Peninsula.
