Lee Myung-bak, former President of the
President of the Republic of Korea, intends to release his memoir "The Times of the President" on
February 2nd. However, he is
not supposed to write the memoir in merely two years after his leaving the
office.
According to the report, Lee pointed out in
the book that even if the South Korea reunifies Korean Peninsula, the US troop should
never march into the Northern part and would have to stay where they are now.
It is weird.
Hasn’t Lee ever read the third Article of the Mutual Defense Treaty Between the United
States and the Republic of Korea; dated on October 1st, 1953? It stipulates: “Each Party recognizes that an armed attack in the Pacific area on
either of the Parties in territories now under
their respective administrative control, or hereafter recognized by one
of the Parties as lawfully brought under the administrative control of the
other, would be dangerous to its own peace and
safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger in
accordance with its constitutional processes.”
And isn’t he aware of the Senate-made Understanding of the United States that
the Senate attached to the treaty? The
Senate added: “It is the understanding of
the United States that neither party is obligated, under Article III of the
above Treaty, to come to the aid of the other except in case of an external armed attack against such party;
nor shall anything in the present Treaty be construed as requiring the United
States to give assistance to Korea except in the event of an armed attack
against territory which has been recognized by the United States as lawfully
brought under the administrative control of the Republic of Korea.”
This is a situation defined by the US and the
treaty, which is beyond the authority of the ROK President. revised at 2100
真的受不了韓國人。
每一方都了解,若發生侵犯現今各自管轄之領土或將來一方所承認的對方合法管轄之領土的太平洋地區的武裝攻擊,將可能危及它自身的和平與安全,因此聲明將依循憲政程序抵禦共同的威脅。
另外,美國參議院在批准條約時加註此一理解:
美方了解:在上述第三條款之下,除非有來自外部的武裝攻擊,否則雙方皆無義務協防對方;除非外部武裝攻擊的領土是美國所承認的受到大韓民國所合法管轄的領土,否則此條約的任何條款都不能解釋為美國必須協防韓國。
據說,這理解也成為美國艾森豪總統在1954年11月17日的公告[2]。(但找不到資料)
換言之,假使朝鮮(北)被韓國(南)控制,朝鮮(北)仍屬於美韓共同防禦條約的責任範圍。而且這是由美方定義的「將可能危及它自身的和平與安全」與「美國所承認的」。
李明博不可能承諾自己權力以外的事物給第三方,其理甚明。都是自己在爽。
話說回來,朴槿惠也一樣非常認真的構思朝鮮統一的事情,卻將之想成一種「商業機會」。
實在太躁進了!
回憶錄爆料曾向中允諾 李明博:兩韓統一 美軍不進北韓○自由 (2015.01.30) http://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/paper/852023
〔編譯周虹汶/綜合報導〕南韓前總統李明博之回憶錄《總統的時間》將於下月二日出版,他在書中大談兩韓接觸等外交秘辛,包括自承曾向當時的中國國家主席胡錦濤承諾,即使兩韓統一,也不會讓駐韓美軍北上進入北韓境內。由於許多內容十分敏感,南韓總統府青瓦台卅日透過匿名人士向韓聯社放話,抨擊李明博回憶錄揭露兩韓接觸細節,不符合國家利益。
北韓索價百億美元 致兩韓峰會破局
南韓是美國及中國爭相拉攏的對象,在位五年的李明博因此曾是國際政治要角。○九年,兩韓高層在新加坡密談,北韓開出設立百億美元開發基金交換兩韓峰會的天價要求,讓李明博深感困擾;同年十月,當時的中國國務院總理溫家寶於東南亞國協中日韓峰會上得知此事,承諾協助李明博向北韓當時的最高領導人金正日轉達立場。
李明博也指出,兩韓關係裂痕始於一○年三月「天安艦遭擊沉事件」及十一月「延坪島砲擊事件」,而非源於讓北韓成為眾矢之的的第三次核試驗。上述兩事件也成為中國與南韓關係轉捩點:中國表面上反對聯合國安理會針對天安艦事件通過決議案、貌似袒護北韓,但溫家寶和胡錦濤紛紛在國際峰會表示「中國不會偏袒任何人」;中國在延坪島事件後更派遣特使,向北韓傳達「中國對北韓先發制人攻擊南韓以致兩國發生武力衝突一事不予支持」立場,等同否定中國和北韓一九六一年簽訂的《中朝友好合作互助條約》。
李明博也爆料,溫家寶曾在一二年一月透露,對當時甫上任一個月的金正恩不抱長期執政期待。同月,李明博向胡錦濤表示,兩韓若能統一,美國駐南韓軍隊「不會離開原地、不會北上」。
南韓政府批李回憶錄 不符國家利益
除兩韓與中國關係,該回憶錄也透露,美國與南韓的自由貿易協定於一○年十一月陷入僵局已久,當時飽受國內輿論批評、擔憂連任不成的歐巴馬,竟轉向單一任期的李明博訴苦。李明博另指出,一一年五月,日本前首相菅直人曾提議進行峰會解決獨島主權爭議,遭李明博斷然拒絕。
李明博也在回憶錄中,為○九年特赦涉嫌逃稅、瀆職之南韓三星集團現任會長李健熙一事辯護。他強調,自己當時無懼在野黨政治攻擊,選擇以國家利益為依歸,特赦擁有國際奧林匹克委員會委員資格的李健熙,終於成功為南韓平昌爭取到二○一八年冬奧主辦權。
南韓執政黨新國家黨認為,李明博退位不到兩年即出版該書,不利南韓日後與他國的彈性對話空間,此「回憶錄政治」對國家利益無益。
