| Summary: | The stated aim of the competing national security paradigms of the main actors in the Korean conflict is stability and security. However, the increasing military build-up in the region can trigger an unprecedented catastrophe of a global scale. This article highlights how the joint peacemaking efforts of both the North Korean and South Korean churches, building on the WCC's notion of Just Peace, provide resources to critically rethink the ways in which human security has been conceptualized and practiced. It is necessary to reflect on these courageous and little-known efforts of these churches, amidst the noisy beating of war drums that claim to establish human security. |
