5. Why November 11?
The Symbolism Associated with Armistice Day
A date symbolizing “the end of war and peace,” a day that has already been established worldwide as a day of remembrance
- That is why we also remember the victims of the Korean War on the same day and at the same time
The International Day of Remembrance for UN Veterans is a day to commemorate the sacrifices and contributions of UN veterans who fought in the Korean War to defend the Republic of Korea and liberal democracy, and to honor their memory together with the UN participating nations.
At 11:00 a.m. on November 11—the day World War I ended—various European countries observed a moment of silence each year to honor the soldiers who fell in battle, and this tradition later expanded to commemorate all those who lost their lives in war. For this reason, South Korea has also designated November 11 as the International Day of Remembrance for UN Veterans.
South Korea honors the sacrifices and contributions of 1.95 million UN veterans from 22 countries, and at 11:00 a.m. on November 11, the nation observes a one-minute moment of silence directed toward the UN Memorial Park in Busan.
Existing commemorative events on November 11 are held by individual nations. However, here at G.Y.B., we would like to explain why we are promoting [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY].
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]
1. “[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is a global, citizen-led day of remembrance designed to honor the sacrifices of humanity and to link those memories to our responsibility for the future.”
2. Official Explanation
“[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is an international civic campaign that commemorates all lives lost to war, industrial accidents, and technological disasters, and, based on that remembrance, calls for humanity to share the collective responsibility of building a safer future.”
“It proposes an ethical framework that goes beyond traditional commemoration—which often remains confined to reminiscing about the past—by transforming memory into a sense of responsibility. It represents an expanded concept of global commemoration that encompasses not only war but also industrial accidents and technological disasters.”
3. Connections with the International Community and the UN
“Based on the global symbolic significance of November 11 as a day of remembrance, this event is a global platform that carries on the spirit of honoring UN veterans while extending that significance to the realms of industry and technology, thereby emphasizing the shared safety and responsibility of humanity.”
4. Philosophical Message
“Memory is not just about the past; it is a responsibility for the future.
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is a day when the human conscience—which never forgets sacrifice—leads to a shared commitment among all humanity to ensure that such tragedies are never repeated.”
5. Distinctiveness
“While traditional memorials have focused solely on ‘remembrance,’ [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is an action-oriented concept of remembrance that progresses from ‘remembrance
→ responsibility → prevention of recurrence.”
6. [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]
“It is a practical platform that goes beyond simple remembrance to serve as a system for protecting human life, encompassing industrial safety and technological responsibility.”
7. G.Y.B is developing a human life protection system for
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY].
| This is [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]. | |
| November 11 is already a day the world remembers. | Remembering the Sacrifices of the Past |
| We expand that memory into “responsibility.” | Preparing for Future Safety Through Responsibility |
| Including not only the casualties of war but also those of industry and technology. | Emphasizing responsibility for technology and safety |
| To ensure that such a tragedy is never repeated. | Strengthening international cooperation for peace |
| G.Y.B – 11.11 Remembrance & Responsibility Day |
This global citizens' initiative pursues the following values.
History teaches us that peace is never something to be taken for granted.
The memory of past sacrifices must serve as a compass to guide our actions today.
Through a spirit of remembrance and responsibility, the international community can transform the lessons of history into a foundation for a safer future.
G.Y.B: While we organize the 11.11 R&R DAY as a day and time for remembrance, we do not exist solely for the sake of this anniversary. Building on this day, we dedicate time to honoring the memory of the victims and reflecting on our responsibilities, and we are working to protect human lives and contribute to future safety by applying the safety technologies we have developed. We plan to disclose some details about these safety technologies to participants in a follow-up email; these are initiatives that anyone who sees them will recognize as necessary. Please note that our work is not limited to simply establishing a commemorative day. We are also preparing to disseminate these safety technologies to the world.
Each country observes a memorial ceremony on November 11, and these ceremonies are held at 11:00 a.m. in each respective country.
In line with the values our G.Y.B. upholds, 11:11 a.m. on November 11 can be more than just a time to commemorate the victims of war; it can become a global moment to reaffirm humanity’s shared commitment to preserving peace.
| November 11 | Day of Remembrance for the Victims |
| November 11, 11:00 a.m. | A Moment of Silence to Honor and Remember the Victims (5–10 minutes) |
| November 11, 11:11 a.m.~ | A Time to Reflect on a Sense of Responsibility |
G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day
■ Basic Principles
G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day is a civic and ethical initiative that honors the UN’s tradition of remembrance while expanding its meaning.
This day is not intended to replace or compete with existing international commemorative traditions, but rather
to propose a new concept of international civic participation that links remembrance to responsibility.
1. Respect for Historical Commemoration
November 11 has long been established in the international community as a day to remember those who sacrificed their lives for freedom and peace. G.Y.B deeply respects this historical significance and international tradition. Therefore, [G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day] does not undermine or replace the existing meaning of remembrance; rather, it proposes civic actions that connect that memory to our responsibility for the future.
2. The Expanded Concept of “From Memory to Responsibility”
Commemorating the victims of war is a part of history that humanity must remember in order to preserve peace. However, there is no national holiday dedicated to honoring those who have lost their lives due to the dangers facing humanity in modern society. [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day] should include a national holiday designed to foster a shared sense of purpose among nations and prevent further loss of human life.
| Armistice Day | G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day |
| Veterans Day | |
| Remembrance Day | |
| UN Day of Remembrance (Busan) | |
| War | War, Industrial Disasters, and Technological Accidents Major Safety Incidents: A Common Threat to Humanity |
[G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day] proposes a day that goes a step beyond simply remembering past sacrifices in the face of this reality—a day dedicated to taking responsibility to ensure that such tragedies are not repeated.
3. The Significance of International Civic Participation
[G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day] aims to be not just a national holiday, but an international day of remembrance and responsibility in which people around the world can participate together.
Key Activities for the Day
- Roll Call to Remember the Victims
- International Solidarity for Safety and the Protection of Life
- It is a commitment to future generations.
4. Shared Values with the UN Spirit
[G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day] is guided by the following values, which align with the spirit of the United Nations.
Peace for Humanity
The Dignity of Human Life
International Cooperation
A Sustainable and Safe Society
Therefore, this day represents a civic proposal to extend the spirit of shared human responsibility—which the UN has long emphasized—to the global citizenry.
“G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day is not intended to replace existing international traditions of remembrance. Rather, it aims to expand remembrance into a sense of responsibility, encouraging citizens around the world to transform their memories into actions that protect human life and future generations.”

The Relationship Between the Two Concepts
(The Most Important Structure)
| Commemoration of UN Veterans → Remembrance G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day → (Remembrance & Responsibility) |
G.Y.B-11.11 R&R DAY is a day that expands upon existing memorial traditions to propose “a shared commitment of humanity to move from remembrance to responsibility.”
Time Structure
| Moment of Silence in Memory of UN Veterans → 11/11/11:00 (November 11 at 11:00 a.m.) G.Y.B Roll-Call (A Time of Remembrance and Responsibility: Calling the Names of the Victims) → 11/11/11:11 (November 11 at 11:11 a.m.) |
“We’re not just talking about memory; we’re also proposing technologies and systems to prevent repetition.”
Meaning of “Roll Call”
Roll call is not just a ritual. It symbolizes the following three universal values.
| Memory (Remembrance) | Remembering and honoring the lives of those who have sacrificed themselves. |
| Responsibility | Recognizing the shared responsibility that humanity must bear to ensure that such a tragedy is not repeated. |
| Peace | A commitment to building a safer and more cooperative world. Every time a name is called during roll call, we are reminded of the life of the person behind that name. That moment serves as a reminder that upholding peace is the responsibility of all humanity. |
November 11 has long been a day to honor those who gave their lives for peace and freedom.
[G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day] This Day of Remembrance aims to ensure that the tragedies of the past lead to a safer future for humanity, thereby transforming this remembrance into responsible action.
| UN Day of Remembrance | G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day |
| A Day to Remember Past Sacrifices | A day to fulfill our responsibility for human safety, guided by that memory |
1. The Starting Point of the Concept (Origin)
■ International Day of Remembrance for United Nations Veterans
≫ Origin: The end of World War I
≫ Core Meaning → Remembrance and gratitude for the victims of war
≫ Primary Focus → Soldiers, veterans, and victims of war
≫ Starting Point = The historical memory of war
■ [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]
≫ Origin: Iri Station Explosion (Awareness of issues surrounding
industrial accidents and technological disasters)
≫ Core Meaning → Remembrance & Responsibility
≫ Focus → Victims of industrial accidents, technological disasters,
and humanity as a whole
≫ Starting Point = Industrial civilization and human responsibility
2. Comparison of Philosophical Structures
| Category | Commemoration of UN Veterans | G.Y.B 11.11 R&R DAY |

| War-Centered | War + Industrial Accidents + Technological Disasters + Future Risks |
| National Memory | Beyond Borders (Global Civic Ethics) |
| Focus on Military Sacrifices | Including the private sector, industry, and science and technology |
| Scope = Limited (War-focused) | Scope = Expansive (All human risk domain) |
4. The Meaning of Time (Why 11/11/11)
| Commemoration of UN Veterans | G.Y.B 11.11 R&R DAY |
| November 11, 11:00 a.m. “A Moment of Remembrance to Honor the Victims” | November 11, 11:00 a.m. “A Moment of Remembrance to Honor the Victims” November 11, 11:11 a.m. “A Moment of Transition from Remembrance to Responsibility” |
| 11/11 at 11:00 → A symbolic moment of silence shared by all humanity | |
The Same Time = Different Philosophical Interpretations
| Category | Commemoration of UN Veterans | G.Y.B 11.11 R&R DAY |
| Ethical Guidelines | Gratitude, Respect, Honor, Remembrance, and Wishes for Peace Retrospective Ethics Never Forgetting Sacrifice | Memory, Responsibility, Prevention, System Improvement, Protection of Life Taking responsibility to ensure that such sacrifices are not repeated Technology Ethics, Future-Oriented (Prospective Ethics) |
| View of Humanity | Human = A Being That Remembers Sacrifice = An Object of Respect Role = A Community That Honors the Past “A Being That Respects Existence Through Memory” | Human = A being who fulfills responsibilities Sacrifice = A lesson and a warning Role = An agent who shapes the future “A being who shapes the future through responsibility” |
| The Value of Time | Focus on the Past The Present Is the “Moment of Remembrance” (Retrospective Value) | Connecting the Past → Present → Future The present is the “moment we take action” (Value of Responsibility for the Future) |
| Functional Differences | Memorial Service, Moment of Silence Commemorative Event Role = Preserving Memory | Commemoration + Policy + Technology + Research Building Safety Systems Global Engagement (Donations, Academic Collaboration, etc.) Role = Remembrance → Action → Change |
| Integrated Structure | Remembrance “Remembrance is a duty.” The Foundation of Remembrance “Humanity’s historical consciousness of remembering sacrifice” “Humanity’s moral commitment to ensuring we do not forget and continue to remember sacrifice” | Responsibility “Responsibility is a duty.” Expansion of Responsibility “Humanity’s ethical system that remembers sacrifice and acts on responsibility to ensure it is never repeated.” “Remembrance and Action to Prevent the Repetition of Sacrifice” |
| Interpretations of Sacrifice | Sacrifice = Sublime Devotion Interpretation = Respect and Gratitude “Honoring Sacrifice” | Sacrifice = The result of system failure + Lessons learned by people Interpretation = The starting point for accountability and improvement “Change through sacrifice” |
| Community Cohesion Preservation of Historical Memory Strengthening of Peace Consciousness ■ Value Functions → Preservation of Identity | Establishing Safety Systems Global Collaboration Establishing Technological Ethics ■ Value Functions → Troubleshooting (Problem-Solving Ethics) |
**It is not a competitive relationship but a hierarchical value structure—an “evolutionary relationship.”**
If memory is a moral obligation toward the past, responsibility is an ethical obligation toward the future.
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] This Day of Remembrance does not replace existing traditions of remembrance but expands them into a global system of responsibility.
“Without memory, there is no responsibility. But without responsibility, memory repeats itself.”
Traditional remembrance is about honoring the past.
G.Y.B transforms remembrance into a system of responsibility for protecting the future.
