Events Detail

Hudson Institute will host a major press conference for a broad coalition of concerned American religious, human rights, security, social, and civil leaders on a Statement of Principles governing U.S.-North Korea policies.

The statement will have significant impact on the Six Party talks and, in at least as great a degree, on U.S.-China relations

Monday, July 25, 2005, 10:00 a.m

Hudson Institute
1015 15^th St., NW
Sixth Floor

(Please note that our offices have moved to 15^th Street)

Signers of the statement include key leaders of the Korean-American, Christian, Jewish, feminist, human rights and academic communities – and persons who played central roles in the "Helsinki negotiations” with the former Soviet Union. The statement is designed to ensure the human rights issues remain central elements in all negotiations between the United States and North Korea and, independently, that China is held effectively accountable for its present, unlawful treatment of North Korean refugees.

The following representatives of the Statement signers will appear:

Reverend Barrett Duke, Southern Baptist Convention

Joseph K. Grieboski, Institute on Religion and Public Policy

Michael Horowitz, Hudson Institute

Donna Hughes, University of Rhode Island

Bruce Lee, Paektu Institute

Kamal Nawash, Free Muslims Coalition

Michael O’Hanlon, Brookings Institute

Mark Palmer, Freedom House
