Noting that the U.S. has still kept silent about the unprecedented massacre committed by its troops during the Korean war and ignored the demand of the international law to find out and punish the criminals, the letter went on:

We want the UN Commission on Human Rights, which considers it as its noble aim to protect and promote human rights and basic freedom, to pay due attention to the U.S. troops’ killing of Koreans, the most heinous human rights abuse in the last century, and have the U.S. enact a law on investigating and dealing with the crime, set up appropriate bodies in Congress and administration and institute legal proceedings against the criminals.

We hope that you, according to your authority, will raise the U.S. troops’ killing of Korean people as an important agenda at the UN Commission on Human Rights and take practical measures to make a relevant decision on the basis of thorough investigation and thus repay for the international community’s expectations for genuine promotion of the protection of human rights, a fundamental issue concerning universal world peace and the prosperity of the humankind, the letter stated.
