Forty-five years after the end of open military conflict on the Korean peninsula, the United States government has yet to sign a formal peace treaty ending the Korean war. Some 37,000 U.S. troops still occupy south Korea. Ten million families remain cruelly divided.

In south Korea, an economic crisis has led to mass layoffs, wage cuts and the virtual takeover of the country by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In north Korea (Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea DPRK) four years of floods, drought and other natural disasters_coupled with the collapse of their trading partners in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union_has led to severe shortages.

At a time when the Korean people need assistance, the United States government has chosen to use food as a weapon. The U.S. economic sanctions on the DPRK_coinciding with constant military exercises, threats and intimidation_are designed to worsen the economic situation inside north Korea. Join us on September 19, 1998, to demand that the United States sign a peace treaty with the DPRK to end the Korean war, and to end the economic sanctions and withdraw U.S. troops and nuclear weapons from south Korea.
