The short answer is NO

The Korean American Peace Fund (KAPF) and Korea-based Korea Peace Action displayed a video calling for peace on the Korean Peninsula on a large electronic billboard in Times Square, Manhattan, New York, from July 25 to 27—just before the anniversary of the Korean War Armistice Agreement on July 27.

This campaign seeks to raise awareness in the United States about the unresolved Korean War and to urge public interest and action, especially at a time when global war threats are escalating. Since last year, KAPF has launched an annual Times Square campaign promoting peace on the Korean Peninsula.

The video conveys three key messages:

• 72 years of armistice is too long

• Call for a peace treaty

• Declare an end to the Korean War

It will play for 10 seconds every 100 seconds over a total span of 7.2 hours.

Let’s Support the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act

1. Directs the U.S. State Department to review and possibly revise current restrictions on travel to North Korea.

2. Formally calls for an end to the Korean War by urging Congress and the Administration to pursue a peace treaty between the U.S., South Korea, and North Korea.

3. Seeks to re-open humanitarian engagement and facilitate reunions for divided families, leveraging a formal peace declaration to improve conditions.
