下記は、今月20日(日本時間、先週金曜)、米下院外交委員会のイリアナ・ロスレーティネン議員(共和党筆頭理事)が中心となり、同委員会に提出した「2010年 北朝鮮制裁および外交不承認法」の原文である(イザ・ブログ10000字制限の関係で一部省略した)。
北朝鮮をテロ支援国リストに再び載せるよう求め、「同盟国である」日本人・韓国人拉致被害者の「解放」(release)を米朝正常化の一条件とするなど、とりあえず、ポイントになる部分を青字にしてある。
ロスレーティネン議員と、日本の拉致被害者家族会、救う会、拉致議連は、かねてより様々に連携してきた。
日本の国会は、来週以降、鳩山首相の政治責任をめぐり緊迫した状況を迎えよう。
が、日米韓が協調し、北への圧力を強めるという課題には、与野党一致して取り組んで貰わねばならない。

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the `North Korea Sanctions and Diplomatic Nonrecognition Act of 2010'.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) North Korean negotiators in the Six-Party diplomatic process did not act in good faith by their refusal to agree to a transparent verification process for denuclearization consistent with `international standards', including provisions for nuclear sampling, following North Korea's removal on October 11, 2008, from the list of state sponsors of terrorism maintained by the Department of State.
(2) International press reports indicate that North Korea has continued to provide support to Iran in the areas of missile technology and nuclear development and has provided Iran's surrogates, Hezbollah and Hamas, with both missile technology and training in tunneling techniques with which to attack Israel, an ally of the United States.
(3) International press reports indicate that
(4) North Korean negotiators continue to refuse to address in a humane and sincere manner the issue of the abduction of civilians of Japan and the Republic of Korea, both allies of the United States, as well as the abductions of citizens from a number of other countries, including France, Lebanon, Romania, and Thailand.
(5) Defectors coming out of North Korea have provided testimony that United States permanent resident, Reverend Kim Dong-shik, the spouse and father of United States citizens, was tortured and murdered inside North Korea after his abduction by Pyongyang's agents on the Chinese border in January 2000 and that his remains are currently being held at a military facility inside North Korea.
(6) Congress authoritatively expressed its view, in section 202(b)(2) of the North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-333; 22 U.S.C. 7832(b)(2)) that `United States nonhumanitarian assistance to North Korea shall be contingent on North Korea's substantial progress' on human rights improvements, release of and accounting for abductees, family reunification, reform of North Korea's labor camp system, and the decriminalization of political expression, none of which has occurred.
(7) Congress further authoritatively expressed its view, in section 2 of the North Korean Human Rights Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-346) that `human rights and humanitarian conditions inside North Korea are deplorable' and that `North Korean refugees remain acutely vulnerable'.
