With U.S.-North Korean negotiations at an impasse, leading experts on Korea and U.S.-Korean relations will discuss how a peace agreement can resolve the security crisis on the Korean Peninsula.
The virtual roundtable will take place on Monday, July 27 — the 67th anniversary of the signing of the Korean War armistice — and will feature the authors of the forthcoming Path to Peace report, which will be released in fall 2020 by Korea Peace Now!, a global movement of women working to end the Korean War. The event will be co-hosted by Women Cross DMZ, the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and The American Conservative.
The discussion will explore what a peace agreement could look like, how it would apply in the case of the two Koreas, who would be involved in the peace process, and the roadmap for getting there. It will also address the relationship of peace to other issues of concern, debunking myths on the perceived implications of a peace agreement on U.S.-DPRK denuclearization talks, U.S.-ROK alliance, ROK-DPRK relations, and human rights.
Introductions will be given by Christine Ahn (Executive Director of Women Cross DMZ), Suzanne DiMaggio (Chairman of Quincy Institute), and Kelley Vlahos (Executive Editor of The American Conservative). There will also be welcome statements by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA17) and Doug Bandow (Cato Institute).
