조선왕실어보 한국 반환 촉구 청원은 우선 개인청원서 보내기와 백악관 온란인 청원을 병행합니다. 동시에 주요 언론사 제보와 미주 주요 도시 언론사에 청원운동을 제보합니다. 그리고 미주 각지의 동포사회 단체의 연대 서명을 받아 DC에 있는 해당 기관에 청원서를 제출하여 불법적으로 반출된 조선왕실어보를 한국으로 조속히 반환될 수 있도록 할 것입니다. 기대하는 것은 오바마 대통령의 한국 방문 일정에 맞춰 반환되는 것입니다. 여러분들의 많은 참여를 바랍니다.
고맙습니다.

Retrieval of the Joseon Royal

Project
The Retrieve National
Treasure Project has been working for the retrieval of the Joseon royal signets
that were taken out of Korea to the United States during the 1950 Korean War.
These Joseon royal signets were unlawfully removed from imperial palaces by
American GI’s during the Korean war.
Upon confirming that one of the missing Joseon royal signets is among the
LACMACollection, we have requested
the return of the item to Korea since 2010. In September of 2013, LACMA
acknowledged the fact that the item has been unlawfully taken and made public
announcement of its decision on the swift return of the signet.(Attachment 3)
However, since the public
announcement, additional royal signets have been found, and the National
Homeland Security Investigation unit has confiscated 10 signets and is
currently holding total of 11 royal seals including the LACMA signet. Among those
seals, one seal is believed to be especially valuable, being the national seal
used by the emperor of Korea Dynasty.(Attachment 4: AFT news. Nov. 20, 2013)
As the planned visit by the
President Obama to Korea in April of 2014 is approaching, the public
anticipation for the betterment of Korea and America relationship as the result
of the visit is growing. It is our great wish and plea that the return of the
Joseon royal signets to Korea would coincide with the President’s official visit and
thus make the visit more special.
Sincerely Yours
