광복 70주년, 동아시아 인권보호체계를 만들자
Seventy Years On from Liberation: Let's Build a Human Rights Protection System in East Asia August 2015 marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in Asia. Mankind has written new chapters in history by learning from its past mistakes and applying the lessons learned to making the world better place to live in. In Europe, for example, when the war had ended there about three months earlier than in Asia, people recognized the failure of the states responsible for starting WWII to respect the human rights of their citizens. Accordingly, they decided to create governments that respected human rights as a necessary step to prevent another war. What they envisioned was Germany and other European countries working toward regional integration based on a set of common values. This led to the formation of the Council of Europe in 1949 and the European Community in 1952, and the adoption of the European Convention on Human Rights in 1950. What about in Asia?In Asia, there were also equally many cases of massive human rights violations in its modern and contemporary history.

"Only by Working Together for Mutual Benefit Can Korea and Japan Build Their New Future" Editor's Note: The International Conference on the 50th Anniversary of the Normalization of Diplomatic Relations between Korea and Japan was held in Jeju Island from the 17th to 19th of June in 2015, hosted by the Northeast Asian History Foundation and the Institute of Japanese Studies at Kookmin University, among others. The 1965 normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries marked the beginning of a new bilateral relationship that overcame the period of colonial rule in the early 20th century and the ensuing hiatus after liberation. And this year of 2015 is a meaningful year because it marks the 50th anniversary of such a milestone.

위기에서 빛난 을지문덕(乙支文德)의 리더십
The Excellent Leadership of Eulji Mundeok in the Time of Crisis The mid to late 6th century, when Eulji Mundeok was born, was a time of internal and external crisis for his country, Koguryo, which had been a power in Northeast Asia by establishing its own sphere of influence since the 5th century, until it plunged into a serious internal conflict due to a series of fights over the throne in the mid 6th century. Silla and Baekje, the other two countries on the Korean Peninsula, took advantage of this confusion; their allied forces invaded Koguryo and occupied the Han River basin. This led to a shift in the Koguryo-dominated power dynamics on the Korean Peninsula. There was yet another threat to Koguryo: the rise of the Turks as a new power in the northern grassland.But this was only the beginning of the fundamental change in East Asian international order that would come about as the Sui (隋) dynasty reunified China in 589 after 300 years of division. Sui tried to force a Sino-centric international order on neighboring countries. If they resisted, Su

The Site of the Origin of the 1907 Armed Uprising The 1907 Armed Uprising: The Trigger for New Struggle Against Japan ▲ Officers of the Palace Guard Regiment of FootIn 1907, the fate of the Korean Empire was like that of a candle in the wind, as the Imperial Japanese authorities, having concluded the Eulsa Treaty in 1905 and established the Residency-General in Korea after that, forced King Gojong to abdicate the throne for dispatching special envoys to the Hague, and sign the New Korea-Japan Agreement witch seven clauses that provided for giving up Korea's national sovereignty, such as legislative power, the power to appoint officials, and administrative power, to the Japanese Residency-General almost entirely. As a follow-up to the New Korea-Japan Agreement concluded by force on July 24, 1907, an order to disband the army of the Korean Empire was issued. At 7 AM on August 1, the Korean Minister of War Lee Byungmu summoned the Commander of the Palace Guard Regiment Yang Seong-hwan and the regimental commanders and battalion commanders serving under him to the official residence of the Japanese Army C
