세계 진보신학의 명문, 뉴욕 유니언 신학대학의 아시아계 최초의 여성 종신교수. 달라이 라마가 주축이 된 종교간 세계평화위원회 자문위원으로 있으며, 평화통일운동단체 조각보의 대표를 맡고 있다. 기독교 신학과 함께 불교 명상을 가르쳐 불교적 신학자, 다양한 퍼포먼스와 제의, 축제를 통해 신학을 표현하는 신학적 예술가, 학술, 사회운동, 영적 수련, 예술의 경계를 넘나들어 문화통역사로도 불린다. 이 외에 한국 대표 페미니스트, 여성해방신학자, 환경운동가, 평화운동가 등 다양한 수식어가 있지만, 그는 모든 것을 생생하게 살려낸다는 살림이스트로 불리기를 바란다.

2001911, 현경은 뉴욕에 있었다. 연일 언론에서는 이슬람을 극단적 근본주의자, 자살 테러, 여성 억압, 명예 살인이라는 말로 악마화 하였다. 다음 세대에게 진리를 전수하는 학자이자 교육자로서 이슬람 죽이기를 관망할 수 없었다. 그는 이슬람 속으로 들어가 그들의 이야기를 직접 들어보기로 결심한다. 현경은 이슬람 사람들이 보는 평화, 그들이 보는 성전(지하드), 이슬람 여성이 꿈꾸는 평화와 정의에 대해 당사자들의 눈과 목소리로 만나고 듣고 싶었다.

그렇게 유서까지 써놓고 떠난 이슬람 17개국에서 강하고 아름다운 수많은 꽃들을 만났다. 현경은 편안하고 용기 있게 삶과 일을 꾸려가고 있는 200여 명의 여성들을 만나며 오히려 자신의 편견이 깨지고 에너지가 채워지는 것을 느꼈다. 그리고 순례 기간 동안 그녀들에게 얻은 아름다운 지혜 중 99가지를 갈무리해서 신의 정원에 핀 꽃들처럼에 담아냈다.

이화여대 기독교학과, 동대학원을 나온 후 유니언 신학대학에서 박사학위를 받았다. 1989년부터 7년간 이화여대 기독교학과 교수로 있었고, 1996년 유니언 신학대학의 종신교수로 부임해 현재 뉴욕에 살고 있다. 저서로는 8개 국어로 번역된 다시 태양이 되기 위하여(Struggle to be the Sun Again), 결국은 아름다움이 우리를 구원할 거야 1, 2, 미래에서 온 편지등이 있다.

About NNT

INTRODUCTION
Korean government enacted the National Trust Act, March 2006, taking after the English statutory law, that is, the National Trust Act of 1907 UK, with assistance of several environmental NGOs, and such Act of 2006 come into force and established a new public corporation, that is, National Nature Trust, March 2007 under the supervise of the Minister of Environment unlike the U.K. system. The traditional legal system of Korea had already accepted the public trust doctrine like the U.S.A. under the customary laws. But such traditional trust system, we call it “Dong-Gye”(village treaty), had been operated individually at the regional base of many small areas for the purpose of gathering and use of natural resources and did not know business-friendly management, market-based eco-tourism, and nation-wide networking among trust properties.



MISSION

National Nature Trust in Korea established under the National Trust Act of 2006 has three missions. First, the Trust is going to make new public lands and community properties with national interest. Second, the Trust should stop missing properties or restore disappeared properties. The Act of 2006 provides that any real estate or cultural heritage for conservation under the National Trust should not be sold out. Third, the Trust will make a nation-wide network among several public land or properties. Local trusts by NGOs under the Civil Law Code, of course, might be harmonized with the national trust system under the National Trust Act of 2006. The cultural heritage can not be isolated from natural environments. The Act of 2006 prescribes that cultural heritage and natural environments should be preserved together.

FEATURES

  1. 01FOR THE FUTURE GENERATION
    In the ancient Indian philosophy, people defined a natural environmental property, as a “Property” from the future generation not as a “legacy” from their ancestor. Our generation have a duty to preserve well and return the natural environmental property, back to the future generations. In that way we want to step up.
  2. 02NEW PARADIGM OF CIVIL AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT
    National Trust is ‘private voluntary preserving ㆍ managing activity’, and so it succeeds to a traditional civil movement spirit. Furthermore it tries a compromise between traditional civil movement and social movement in the fact that it can get a little expenses spent preserving and managing those properties from nation or local government. National Trust accepts individuals, companies and governments as a joint subject, and opens the new age of social movement history.
  3. 03LEGAL OPPOSING POWER
    National Trust Law has a legal opposing power against development. Natural environmental properties from ‘Gongyuhwa’ movement such as the existing ‘buying a pyong of earth’ movement etc, can be lost by various special law which pursuits development. But the properties trusted to National Trust with nation’s name for the future generations, can’t be sold forever. Now the National Trust has a legal opposing power, and can stop losing the property.

74차 유엔 총회 기조연설

유엔과 회원국들의 헌신으로 세계의 많은 문제들이 해결되고, 평화를 위한 노력들이 결실을 맺고 있습니다.
깊은 존경과 감사의 인사를 드립니다.

티자니 무하마드 반데 총회 의장의 취임을 축하하며, 의장의 탁월한 지도력으로 다자협력이 확산되는 총회가 되리라 기대합니다.

지속적인 평화(sustaining peace)’라는 유엔의 목표는 한반도의 목표와 같습니다.
평화와 개발의 선순환을 통해 평화를 지속시키고자 하는 안토니우 구테레쉬 사무총장의 노력에 경의를 표합니다.

의장, 사무총장, 각국 대표 여러분,
인류의 평화와 지속가능발전목표(SDGs)’를 향한 유엔의 노력은 반드시 달성될 것입니다.

세계는 재난과 긴급구호 활동에 함께하고, 평화를 유지하기 위한 행동에 동참하며, 서로를 돕고 있습니다.
유엔은 계속해서 국제사회 협력의 중심이 되어야 합니다.

한국은 유엔의 혜택을 많이 받은 나라입니다.
유엔이 설립된 해에 식민지배에서 해방되었고 유엔과 국제사회의 도움으로 전쟁의 참화를 극복할 수 있었습니다.
이제 한국은 발전한 만큼 책임의식을 갖고 동아시아와 국제사회의 평화와 번영을 위해 협력하고 있습니다.

201711월 유엔이 채택한 올림픽 휴전 결의는 한국에게 또 한 번의 큰 도움이 되었습니다.
그 결의에 따라, 2018년 봄에 예정되어 있었던 한미 연합훈련이 유예되고, 북한 선수단이 평창에 올 수 있는 환경이 조성될 수 있었습니다.

안전을 우려했던 평창 동계올림픽은 평화올림픽으로 전환되었고, ·북한 사이에 대화가 재개되는 소중한 계기가 되었습니다.
·북 간의 대화는 미국과 북한 간의 대화로 이어졌습니다.

트럼프 대통령과 김정은 위원장의 결단이 한반도의 상황을 극적으로 변화시킨 동력이 되었습니다.
지금 한반도는 총성 몇 발에 정세가 요동치던 과거와 분명하게 달라졌습니다.
한반도 평화를 위한 대화의 장은 여전히 건재하고 남과 북, 미국은 비핵화와 평화뿐 아니라 그 이후의 경제협력까지 바라보고 있습니다.

한국은 평화가 경제협력으로 이어지고 경제협력이 다시 평화를 굳건하게 하는, ‘평화경제의 선순환 구조를 만들고자 합니다.
유럽석탄철강공동체유럽안보협력기구가 유럽의 평화와 번영에 상호 긍정적 영향을 끼친 사례가 좋은 본보기입니다.

한반도 평화는 여전히 지속되는 과제이며 세계평화와 한반도 평화는 불가분의 관계입니다.
한국은 북한과 대화를 계속해 나가며 유엔 회원국들의 협력 속에서 완전한 비핵화와 항구적 평화를 위한 길을 찾아내고 만들어 갈 것입니다.

의장, 사무총장, 각국 대표 여러분,

평화는 대화를 통해서만 만들 수 있습니다.
합의와 법으로 뒷받침되는 평화가 진짜 평화이며, 신뢰를 바탕으로 이룬 평화라야 항구적일 수 있습니다.

지난 1년 반, 대화와 협상으로 한반도는 의미 있는 성과를 보여주었습니다.
분단의 상징이었던 판문점은 권총 한 자루 없는 비무장 구역이 되었고, ·북한은 함께 비무장지대 내 초소를 철거하여 대결의 상징 비무장지대를 실질적 평화지대로 만들고 있습니다.
끊임없는 정전협정 위반이 남·북 간의 군사적 긴장을 높이고 때로는 전쟁의 위협을 고조시켰지만 지난해 9.19 군사합의 이후에는 단 한 건의 위반행위도 발생하지 않았습니다.

특별히 알려드리고 싶은 일은 한국전쟁 당시 남과 북, 유엔군과 중국군의 최대 격전지였던 화살머리고지에서 지금까지 모두 177구의 유해를 발굴한 것입니다.
한국군의 유해는 물론 미군과 중국군, 프랑스군과 영연방군으로 추정되는 유해까지 발굴되었습니다.
신원을 확인한 한국군 유해 3구는 66년 만에 가족의 품에 안겼습니다.
평화를 위한 노력이 가져온, 보람된 일이 아닐 수 없습니다.

트럼프 대통령이, 현직 미국 대통령으로서 군사분계선을 넘어 최초로 북한 땅에 발을 디딜 수 있었던 것도 이러한 노력의 결과입니다.
군사적 긴장 완화와 남··미 정상 간 굳은 신뢰가 판문점에서의 전격적인 3자 회동을 성사시킬 수 있었습니다.

김정은 위원장의 손을 잡고 군사분계선을 넘은 트럼프 대통령의 행동은, 그 행동 자체로 새로운 평화 시대의 본격적인 시작을 선언했습니다.
한반도와 동북아 평화의 역사에 길이 남을 위대한 발걸음이었습니다.
나는 두 정상이 거기서 한 걸음 더 큰 걸음을 옮겨 주기를 바랍니다.

한반도 문제를 풀기 위한 나의 원칙은 변함이 없습니다.

그 원칙은 첫째, 전쟁불용의 원칙입니다.
한국은 전쟁이 끝나지 않은 정전 상태입니다.
한반도에서 두 번 다시 전쟁의 비극이 있어서는 안 됩니다.
이를 위해 우리는 인류 역사상 가장 긴 정전을 끝내고 완전한 종전을 이루어야 합니다.

둘째, 상호 간 안전보장의 원칙입니다.
한국은 북한의 안전을 보장할 것입니다.
북한도 한국의 안전을 보장하길 원합니다.
서로의 안전이 보장될 때, 한반도 비핵화와 평화체제를 빠르게 구축할 수 있습니다.
적어도 대화를 진행하는 동안에는 모든 적대행위를 중단해야 합니다.
국제사회도 한반도의 안보 우려를 해소하기 위해 함께 노력해 주길 희망합니다.

셋째, 공동번영의 원칙입니다.
평화는 단지 분쟁이 없는 것이 아닙니다.
서로 포용성을 강화하고 의존도를 높이고 공동번영을 위해 협력하는 것이 진정한 평화입니다.
남북이 함께하는 평화경제는 한반도 평화를 공고히 하고, 동아시아와 세계 경제 발전에 이바지할 것입니다.

나는 오늘 유엔의 가치와 전적으로 부합하는 이 세 가지 원칙을 바탕으로, 유엔과 모든 회원국들에게 한반도의 허리를 가로지르는 비무장지대를 국제평화지대로 만들자는 제안을 하고자 합니다.

한반도의 비무장지대는 동서로 250킬로미터, 남북으로 4킬로미터의 거대한 녹색지대입니다.
70년 군사적 대결이 낳은 비극적 공간이지만 역설적으로 그 기간 동안 인간의 발길이 닿지 않은 자연 생태계 보고로 변모했고, JSA, GP, 철책선 등 분단의 비극과 평화의 염원이 함께 깃들어 있는 상징적인 역사 공간이 되었습니다.

비무장지대는 세계가 그 가치를 공유해야 할 인류의 공동유산입니다.
나는 남·북 간에 평화가 구축되면, 북한과 공동으로 유네스코 세계유산 등재를 추진할 것입니다.

판문점과 개성을 잇는 지역을 평화협력지구로 지정하여 남과 북, 국제사회가 함께 한반도 번영을 설계할 수 있는 공간으로 바꿔내고, 비무장지대 안에 남·북에 주재 중인 유엔기구와 평화, 생태, 문화와 관련한 기구 등이 자리 잡아 평화연구, 평화유지(PKO), 군비통제, 신뢰구축 활동의 중심지가 된다면 명실공히 국제적인 평화지대가 될 수 있을 것입니다.

비무장지대에는 약 38만 발의 대인지뢰가 매설되어 있는데, 한국군 단독 제거에는 15년이 걸릴 것으로 예상합니다.
유엔지뢰행동조직등 국제사회와의 협력은 지뢰제거의 투명성과 안정성을 보장할 뿐 아니라 비무장지대를 단숨에 국제적 협력지대로 만들어낼 것입니다.

북한이 진정성을 가지고 비핵화를 실천해 나간다면 국제사회도 이에 상응하는 모습을 보여주어야 합니다.
국제 평화지대 구축은 북한의 안전을 제도적이고 현실적으로 보장하게 될 것입니다.
동시에 한국도 항구적인 평화를 얻게 될 것입니다.

김정은 위원장과 나는 비무장지대의 평화적 이용에 대해 합의하고, 끊어진 철도와 도로 연결 작업에 착수하여 북한의 철도 현황을 실사했으며, 철도·도로 연결과 현대화 착공식도 개최한 바 있습니다.

이 모두가 한반도의 평화기반을 다지고 동북아의 평화와 안정에 기여하는 과정입니다.
한반도의 허리인 비무장지대가 평화지대로 바뀐다면, 한반도는 대륙과 해양을 아우르며 평화와 번영을 선도하는 교량국가로 발전할 것입니다.
동북아 6개국과 미국이 함께하는 동아시아철도공동체의 비전도 현실이 될 수 있습니다.

의장, 사무총장, 각국 대표단 여러분,

동아시아는 2차 세계 대전이 끝난 후, 침략과 식민지배의 아픔을 딛고 상호 긴밀히 교류하며, 경제적인 분업과 협업을 통해 세계사에 유례없는 발전을 이뤄왔습니다.
자유무역의 공정한 경쟁질서가 그 기반이 되었습니다.

과거에 대한 진지한 성찰 위에 자유롭고 공정한 무역의 가치를 굳게 지키며 협력할 때 우리는 더욱 발전해 나갈 수 있을 것입니다.

한국은 이웃국가들을 동반자라 생각하며 함께 협력하여 한반도와 동아시아, 나아가 아시아 전체로 사람 중심, 상생번영의 공동체를 확장하고자 합니다.
오는 11월 한국의 부산에서 열리는 -아세안 특별정상회의-메콩 정상회의가 그 초석을 놓는 계기가 될 것입니다.

유엔의 지속가능발전목표파리기후변화협약은 우리가 다자협력을 통해 이뤄야 할 대표적인 과제입니다.

한국은 한국형 지속가능발전목표(K-SDGs)’를 수립하여 국제사회에 약속한 지속가능발전목표 이행에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있습니다.
지속가능발전법’, ‘저탄소 녹색성장기본법’, ‘국제개발협력 기본법과 같은 관련법을 제정하고 지속가능발전위원회를 두어 제도적으로 이행해가고 있습니다.
그동안 한국은 유엔 평화유지 활동에 17천 명의 장병을 파견하였고, 질병과 자연재해에 고통 받는 세계인들과도 함께해왔습니다.
한국은 구테레쉬 사무총장이 주도한 평화유지구상공유된 책무에 대한 선언을 지지하며, ODA 규모를 더욱 늘려 평화와 개발의 선순환을 지원하겠습니다.
특히 내년 20주년을 맞는 유엔안보리 여성·평화·안보결의와 2017년 밴쿠버에서 합의한 엘시 이니셔티브에 적극 동참하고, 2021년 차기 평화유지 장관회의를 한국에서 개최합니다.

한국은 내년, ‘녹색성장 및 글로벌 목표 2030을 위한 연대’, ‘2P4G 정상회의를 주최합니다.
파리협정과 지속가능발전목표 이행을 위해 국제사회의 결속을 강화하는 계기가 될 것입니다.
정부, 국제기구, 기업과 시민사회의 많은 관계자들이 관심을 갖고 참여해 주길 희망합니다.

올해는 한국에 매우 특별한 해입니다.
100년 전 한국 국민들은 일본 식민지배에 항거하여 3.1독립운동을 일으켰고, 대한민국 임시정부를 수립했습니다.

100년이 지난 지금 한국은 인류애에 기초한 평등과 평화공존을 위해 앞장서 노력하고 있습니다.

앞으로도 한국은 국제사회와 연대하면서 평화, 인권, 지속가능 개발이라는 유엔의 목표를 실현하는데 책임과 역할을 다하고, 유엔의 궁극적 이상인 국제 평화와 안보가 한반도에서 구현될 수 있도록 함께 노력하겠습니다.

국제사회의 지지와 협력으로 칼이 쟁기로 바뀌는기적이 한반도에서 일어나길 기대합니다.

감사합니다.
