Note: Those italicized are editorially added for interpretation thereof. The second half of the aforesaid definition constitutes a continuous crime and that is exactly what DPRK (North Korea) has been doing. Professor emeritus Tetsuzo Nakano of Sapporo Gakuin University said the same in his contribution to The Asahi Shimbun`s Web on December 16, 2002 titled: POINT OF VIEW: Ratify Rome Treaty to resolve abduction issue (www.asahi.com/english/op-ed/K2002121600214.html).
NORTH KOREA ABDUCTED
Thousands of South Korean civilians have been missing since the Korean War (1950~53). Where are they? Are they still alive? Aren`t they hungry? Aren`t they dead? Where are their remains?
International Day of the `Disappeared` (30 August): "We shall continue our struggle until they tell us what happened to him and until justice is done. His life and that of all the "disappeared" cannot remain in oblivion. We are fighting to ensure that what happened to them will never happen in our country again." "If my relative is dead, I want to receive the body or remains for burial and begin the grieving process that would allow me to come to terms with the loss. If my loved one is alive, I want the chance to see him for what little time he may have left." "I am ready to forgive, but I need to know who I have to forgive. If they would just speak up and acknowledge what they have done, they would be giving us the opportunity to forgive. It would be more noble if they were to do that. There will be reconciliation only if there is justice."
