Reflecting on 70 Years: Ending America's Longest War, the Korean Conflict

As the Korean Armistice Agreement marks its 70th anniversary, it is time for the United States to end its longest-running war by signing a peace agreement with North Korea. This would reduce the risk of conflict and build trust for negotiations on North Korea's nuclear weapons program. Women, who have played a crucial role in peace processes, should be included in the efforts. The continued U.S. military presence on the Korean Peninsula and joint military exercises with South Korea contribute to tensions and justify North Korea's nuclear weapons program. It is essential to recognize the human costs of the war and work towards a resolution. Passing the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act would be a significant step in formally ending the war.
