6•25전쟁 납북자 명부들의 특성과 대학생들의 납북자 문제 인식에 관한 연구

Abstract

11 pieces of list of the kidnaped in the Korean War have been discovered lately with the effort from the government and the Kidnaped Family Association. These documents differ each in the dates of publication, the purposes, the research items. And the authors each are found to be different: some of them are written by the government, some by the private organizations, and some by the Red Cross. Due to the difficulty in acquiring the primary materials, no study has been performed yet to find the relation between each of the documents, the writing background, and some detailed facts of the research items. The author, however, managed to obtain all the relevant material with the help of the Kidnaped Family Association. The study has examined in detail the 11 pieces of document to analyze the contents, the writing background. And it has been proven, though indirectly, that the kidnaped were taken forcibly to North Korea against their will. The study has also conducted a questionary of asking the college students about their perception of the kidnaped people and its solution. This is because the college students will be responsible to lead the nation in the future and their perception of the some 100,000 kidnaped people will affect greatly the future of the united Korea. The result of the questionary shows that the government should put two times more emphasis on the international cooperation and a hard line policy to North Korea than on the sunshine policy. The same result has been confirmed already from the kidnaped families. And it has been found also that the students has a positive idea of the security education in colleges and that they can have their own evaluation of the government policy and of the solution of the kidnaped people's problem. All this can make us believe that they will surely see the bright future of the country. In conclusion, as the problem of the kidnaped do not seem to make big progress with no answer from North Korea at the moment, it should be kept in mind that the kidnaped should be considered a problem of both human right and humanism. The government should find a way to solve the problem from the humanistic perspective.
