One Korea Global Campaign
Advancing a movement for a free, prosperous, and unified Korea
The more than 70-year division of the Korean peninsula has undermined global security, separated a people with a shared heritage, and perpetuated a humanitarian crisis in the North.
Diplomatic initiatives like the Six-Party Talks and the recent Inter-Korea, US-DPRK summits aimed at resolving security concerns surrounding North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, have led to little progress in bridging the Cold War divide between the two Koreas.
Global Peace Foundation had been a leading partner in a global coalition advancing a comprehensive approach to resolving the division on the peninsula, the global security threat posed by the nuclear-armed North, and the ongoing human rights crisis perpetrated by the North Korean regime. [based on Korea’s shared history and culture, and the ancient Korean ethos of Hongik Ingan, “to live for the greater benefit of humanity.”
Approach for Reunification
GPF Chairman Dr. Hyun Jin P. Moon published Korean Dream: A Vision for a Unified Korea in 2014. The book presents the division of Korea in historical context and outlines a groundbreaking approach for reunification that transcends the Cold War division, and places Korea’s destiny not as a struggle of great powers but in the hands of the Korean people. The Korean Dream looks to the ancient Korean ethos of Hongik Ingan, or “living for the greater benefit of humanity,” as a guiding principle to build a Korea that can benefit the world.
In 2020, a Centennial Edition of the Korean Dream was published in English and Korean, updated with a new section chronicling the ongoing work around the world since the publication of the first edition. The Global Peace Foundation applies this comprehensive, vision-based approach to the resolution of long-standing Korean peninsula issues.
