Human rights advocates speak out on Gloria Steinem's Korea DMZ walk

WASHINGTON, April 27 (UPI) -- An international women's peace walk through the Korean peninsula's forbidden demilitarized zone is under criticism from human rights advocates.

The May 24 walk includes Nobel laureates, disarmament activists and U.S. feminist Gloria Steinem. On Friday The New York Times reported organizers received conditional approval for the walk from both Seoul and Pyongyang.

Activists involved said they are calling for a permanent peace to replace the 1953 armistice agreement that stopped the Korean War but did not end tensions on the Korean peninsula.

Cora Weiss, president of The Hague Appeal for Peace has said, "We're calling for an end to the world's longest war, which has not ended, and for women to be involved in all aspects of the peace process."

But on Sunday, Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Greg Scarlatoiu of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea said the peace walk across the 2.5-mile wide demilitarized zone is for North Korea "nothing but human rights theater intended to cover up its death camps and crimes against humanity."

In an opinion piece in The Washington Post, Cooper and Scarlatoiu said Steinem and fellow activists should review the U.N. Commission of Inquiry report on North Korean human rights abuses.

So that's how that works. Call for an end to a war that hasn't ended. Damn clever.

Maybe Gloria could have Dennis Rodman set her up for a personal meeting with North Korea’s little rock star leader.
