[공동서한] 국제시민사회 연명 공개서한 "코로나19에 맞서 싸우는 한국정부의 헌신에 대한 국제시민사회의 요구사항" (2020.04.17.)

국제시민사회 연명 공개서한

개발도상국 등지에서 전지구직인 코로나19 전염병에 맞서 싸우는 한국의 헌신에 대한 요구사항

 

문재인 대통령님께,

 

코로나19 유행병에 대항 한 전 세계적 투쟁에 대한 대한민국의 약속과 요청사항과 관련하여, 우리는 국제 시민 사회 단체 (CSO) / 비정부기구 (NGO)와 연합, 아시아 태평양, 아프리카, 남미, 북미, 중동 및 유럽 지역의 다른 국가의 개인을 대신하여 이 서한을 쓰고 있습니다.

 

지난 4 월 17 일에 시작된 청원은 4 월 23 일까지 일주일 동안 계속되어 전세계 시민사회단체와 시민들의 목소리를 반영했습니다.

 

우선, 코로나 19 팬데믹 사태 중에도 4.15 총선을 성공적으로 치뤘던 것에 대해 축하의 말을 전합니다.

코로나19 사태에 대한 한국의 신속하고 민주적인 대응에 세계가 깊은 인상을 받았다고 말하는 것은 결코 과언이 아닙니다. 주요 민주주의 가치인 언론의 자유, 정보 접근성, 투명성, 의료 테스트 및 모든 사람에 대한 관리에 우선순위를 뒀던 한국정부의 리더십을 통해 대한민국은 폐쇄조치를 통해 시민의 자유를 억누르지 않고 바이러스를 수용하는 모델이되었습니다. 이번 총선에 있어서도, 코로나 바이러스가 민주주의와 인권을 막을 수 없다는 것을 보여주는 또 다른 긍정적인 신호였습니다.

 

이 리더십 모델과 민주적 수단을 통해 이해관계를 떠나 시민들의 선호와 우선순위에 관한 결정은 사람들 사이의 연대와 신뢰의 감각을 조성하는 데 핵심적인 역할을 해왔으며 위기의 완화와 협력을 강화했습니다. 코로나19에 대한 한국의 성공적인 관리는 점진적인 정상화에 대한 희망이 있음을 증명했습니다. 국제사회는 한국의 경험을 통해 많은 것을 배울 수 있으며 모범 사례를 교환하는 데 더 많은 협력을 희망하고 있습니다.

 

 

또한, 국제 협력의 중요성에 중점을두고 G20 정상회의(2020 년 3 월 26 일)과 ASEAN + 3 정상회의(2020 년 4 월 14 일)에서도 코로나19 전염병에 대한 ODA (공적개발원조)를 통해 인도 주의적 지원을 약속했습니다.

 

코로나19와의 전쟁에서 전세계 이웃을 지원하고 지원하려는 한국의 노력에 있어서, 우리 시민사회가 필요한 원조와 서비스를 제공하고 대중의 인식과 교육을 증진하며 정부 정책을 모니터링하는 데 중요한 사전 역할을 수행 할 수 있다고 믿습니다. 그리고 코로나19에 대한 대응과 사회에서 취약하고 배제된 사람들의 인권을 옹호합니다.

 

전 지구적 위기의 시대에, 유엔의 기본 정신인 ‘Leaving No One Behind,’ 지속가능발전목표(SDGs), 핵심 인도주의 표준 (CHS)과 인권에 기반한 인권에 근거한 접근 방식에 따라 국제적인 흐름에 다라 사회경제적 영향에 대처하는 데 시민사회와 정부 간의 공공의 신뢰와 파트너십이 필수적이라 할 것입니다.

 

이와 관련하여 다음과 같이 한국정부에 촉구합니다.

1. 인권과 민주주의 원칙을 존중하면서도 코로나19 유행병에 효과적으로 대처하는 데 주도적인 역할을 수행한다.

2. ODA를 통해 인도 주의적 지원을 유지하거나 증가시켜, 특히 전 세계의 어려운 문제를 극복하는 데 가장 취약한 최빈국과 취약한 국가에서 도움을 요청한다.

3. 시민 공간을 보호하고 코로나19 유행병의 악영향을 해결하는 시민 사회의 역할을 강화하기 위해 도덕적, 정치적, 재정적 지원을 제공한다.

4. 취약한 국가에서 인간의 고통을 예방하고 줄이기 위해 시민사회단체가 지상에서 작동 할 수 있도록 구체적인 조치를 즉시 취한다.

5. 코로나19 전염병에 대항하여 전 세계에서 낙인, 이주민, 노인, 이재민, 난민 및 토착민과 같은 소수 민족 및 소수 민족 등 인종 차별주의에 대항한 범 세계적 행동을 주도한다.

 

우리는 정부가 코로나19의 사회적, 경제적 영향을 해결하는 데 여전히 어려움을 겪고 있음을 잘 알고 있습니다. 그러나 국제사회가 연대를 이루고, 취약한 이웃을 돕는 동시에 이 전투를 벌이는 것이 중요합니다.

 

전세계 시민사회단체 연합은 대한민국의 리더십과 코로나19에 대항하는 전 지구적 싸움에서의 전폭적인 지원 아래 인도적인협력의 기회를 보장하기를 희망합니다.

 

당신의 배려에 감사드립니다.

Open Letter to President Moon Jae-in of the Republic of Korea (ROK) 

 

April 17, 2020

 

H.E. Moon Jae-in
President of the Republic of Korea
Cheongwadae (Blue House)
1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu
Seoul, 03048, Republic of Korea

RE: ROK’s Commitment to the global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in particular, in the developing counties. 

Dear President Moon,

We are writing to you on behalf of the undersigned 145 civil society organizations (CSOs) / Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and 44 individuals from about 50 countries in the Asia-Pacific, Africa, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and the Europe region in regards to the Republic of Korea’s commitment to the global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in vulnerable countries.

The petition which started on 17 April continued till 23 April for a week to mobilize global voices of civil society and people all over the world.

First of all, we would like to congratulate on the successful management of the parliamentary election concluded on 15 April 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is not an understatement to say that the world was impressed and encouraged at the ROK’s swift and democratic response to its COVID-19 outbreak. Through your administration’s leadership, prioritizing free press, access to information, transparency and openness, medical testing and care for all, which are key democratic values, ROK has become a model in containing the virus without a lockdown or repressing civil liberties. The parliamentary election was another positive sign to prove that the coronavirus cannot stop democracy and human rights.

This leadership model and the prioritizing of people regardless of their background through democratic means has played a key role in creating a sense of solidarity and trust amongst the people, increasing cooperation in mitigating the crisis. The successful management of COVID-19 by the ROK, has proven that there is hope for a slow recovery. The international community has much to learn from the ROK experience and hopes for more cooperation in exchanging best practices.

We also note that you have put emphasis on the importance of international cooperation and made a commitment to humanitarian assistance through the Official Development Assistance (ODA) at the G20 Virtual Summit (26 March 2020) and ASEAN+3 Virtual Summit (14 April 2020) on the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the ROK’s efforts to support and assist its global neighbors in the fight against COVID-19, we believe that civil society has the ability to play an important proactive role in delivering necessary aid and services, promoting public awareness and education, monitoring the government’s policy and action on the COVID-19, and advocating human rights of the vulnerable and excluded people in society.

In a time of global crisis, public trust and partnership between civil society and government are essential in addressing the socio-economic impact of the pandemic both nationally and internationally in accordance with Core Humanitarian Standards (CHS) and human rights-based approach with the spirit of ‘leaving no one behind’ for the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In this regard, we would like to urge your government to:

1. Continue to play a proactive leadership role internationally in tackling COVID-19 pandemic while respecting human rights and democratic principles.

2. Increase humanitarian assistance through the ODA to help countries in need, especially in the least developed countries and fragile states that are the most vulnerable in overcoming unprecedented global challenges.

3. Provide support – moral, political, and financial – to protect civic space and to strengthen the role of civil society in tackling adverse consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

4. Take concrete actions immediately by providing necessary financial assistance to enable CSOs to operate on the ground to prevent and reduce human suffering in vulnerable countries.

5. Lead a global action on stigmatization, xenophobia, racism against social minorities and vulnerable populations like older persons, persons with disabilities, migrants, internally displaced persons, refugees, and indigenous peoples in the global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are aware that your government is still facing challenges in addressing the social and economic impact of the COVID-19. However, it is vital that the international community comes in solidarity and fights the battle simultaneously through international cooperation with the government and people in a more vulnerable situation.

The undersigned, civil society organizations and global citizens across the globe, would like to take this opportunity to assure you of our full support and cooperation in the global fight against the COVID-19 with the Republic of Korea’s leadership.

Thank you for your consideration.

In solidarity,
