The Jeju April 3 Incident, Human Rights and Peace of Woman and Minorities in East Asia Session Held on June 2.
The Jeju April 3 Incident, Human Rights and Peace of Woman and Minorities in East Asia session was held on June 2, 2017, with a special focus on the problems of minorities of East Asia’s countries who got deep scars by state violence. Resulting that about 10 percent of the population on Jeju Island were killed by security forces, Jeju April 3 incident will have been for 70 years next year. After the movement of democratization in Korean society in 1987, there have been various studies for finding the truth of Jeju April 3 incident. But the discussion and studies of the minorities - woman, children, and old people who were killed during the Jeju April 3 incident - are insufficient.
President Moon Jae-in delivered the congratulatory message to the Jeju Forum at the opening ceremony of the 12th Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity, saying, "Now Jeju Island is healing the remaining vestiges of confrontation and conflict, and opening a new age of peace and coexistence." He also said "This is the spirit of the Jeju Forum ? seeking peace and common prosperity in Northeast Asia."
