Source 5 : Email from KNMC to MOW Secretariat to respond Japan's contestation

From: MOW National Committee, Republic of Korea, August 12, 2022

To: MOW Secretariat

Subject: Letter in response to the e-mail in August 2

Attached: 1 (105.2KB) Letter from the Chair of National Committee of MoW, ROK.pdf, 105.2KB

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is a reply to your email dated August 2, received with an attached letter from the Japanese Permanent Delegation to UNESCO, in which you advised us to initiate a bilateral dialogue with a view to resolving the issues at hand. Please allow us to send this reply to your office, not directly to the Japanese delegation to whom we hope the attached letter will be transmitted, for the following reasons.

We find that the Japanese claim for maintaining the contestation is not sustainable, for it lacks ‘the reasons advanced’ for contesting on other grounds as stipulated in Paragraph 8.6.5.2.1. It is unimaginable that the General Guidelines allow a Member State to examine the documentary heritage nominated by another Member State without any identified points of contention. Likewise, in such circumstances a bilateral dialogue is unlikely to be productive, since the issues to be resolved through it remain invisible.

The National Committee for MoW, Republic of Korea, is ready and willing to cooperate to resolve the disputes, and therefore is looking forward to receiving feedback both from the Japanese delegation and MoW Secretariat. We hope appropriate actions for addressing the problems mentioned above will be taken as early as possible to avoid unnecessary delay in the evaluation process.

Sincerely yours,

National Committee for Memory of the World, Republic of Korea

From : MOWCAP Acting Secretary-General, November 17, 2022  To: President of Korean Studies Institute Dear President of KSI, We wish to bring to your attention the following request from MOWCAP RSC regarding certain words in Naebang-gasa, No. 148 that may be considered to violate MOWCAP Register Process guidelines, Section K. FORMALITIES FOR SUBMITTING NOMINATIONS "11. Objectivity. Every nomination stands on its own merits. Nominations should be based on fact, and written in impartial and objective language. The use of grandiose or unprovable claims, or derogatory, propagandistic or polemical language, is counter-productive and makes assessment more difficult. Any nomination form that uses inappropriate language, denigrating or insulting individuals, groups or nations will be returned to the nominator/s by the MOWCAP Secretary-General on the advice of the RSC for amendment. Nominators should be careful to word their nominations in a neutral and objective manner." In order to ...
