東亞地區有關釣魚台、竹島爭議日漸升高,各地內部情緒高漲,我們擔心如果繼續發展下去會陷入軍事衝突,乃至引發區域性戰爭。2012年9月28日日本市民發出千人以上公開連署之聲明──「終止領土問題”的惡性循環!」,具有高度內省之誠意,與政府立場差異甚巨。居住在東亞地區的我們,雖然可能不完全同意聲明中所有的論點,但是認為這是「民間東亞」共同討論、面對問題的契機,特此邀約各地民間團體與人士參與此次論壇進行對話,期待能夠開啟未來進一步的民間連帶運動,以促進透過反思歷史,尋求區域和平。

The disputes over Diaoyu (Senkaku) Islands and Dokdo (Takeshima) have been escalating in the East Asia region, along with the heated emotional energies expressed in different societies. As critical intellectuals living in the region, we are very much concerned that, if the situation continues to intensify, it may lead to military confrontation and trigger off a larger scale regional war. On Friday, September 28, 2012, a public statement, “Stop the vicious circle of ‘Territorial Issue’”, signed by over one thousand Japanese citizens was released. We may not agree with all the points made in the statement, but can feel strongly the honest attempt to critically reflect on the problematic understanding of history, which is radically different from the Japanese government’s position. Living in the region, we believe it is the moment to start a Minjian East Asia Forum and thus call on concerned groups and individuals from the non-state/social sectors to meet and discuss together, with a sense of hope to initiate a further solidarity movement in the future, to contribute to the regional peace via self-critical reflections on the unresolved issues in modern history of East Asia.
