Den 11 november i Busan, Sydkorea

The UN Day of Remembrance is officially known as the “Turn Toward Busan” International Memorial Ceremony, an event held to honor the United Nations veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Korean War.

https://www.youtube.com/live/DJqbzJahvCg?si=rGorHCWEe9UKBXrd

International Day of Remembrance for UN Veterans

1. Honoring the Sacrifices of Veterans Around the World

To commemorate the sacrifices of the soldiers from the 16 UN combatant nations who fought for freedom and peace during the Korean War, with a special focus on the fallen soldiers interred at the UN Memorial Cemetery in Busan

2. International Solidarity and Expressions of Gratitude

The South Korean government and people conveyed the message “We have not forgotten you” to the world, with descendants of those who fought in the war, diplomatic envoys, and citizens participating together

- Not merely a national event, but an international joint memorial ceremony

3. Carrying Forward the Value of Peace

A pledge to ensure that the tragedies of war are never repeated by remembering them

Conveying the educational message to future generations that ‘peace is built upon sacrifice’

4. Symbolic Act: “Toward Busan”

11 November at 11.00 – A moment of silence for Busan, from anywhere in the world

A global simultaneous memorial system connecting memories from around the world, centred on a single city

5. Why 11 November?

Symbolism linked to Armistice Day

A date symbolising ‘the end of war and peace’, a day on which the tradition of remembrance is already firmly established worldwide

- The victims of the Korean War are also remembered on the same day, at the same time

The International Day of Remembrance for United Nations Veterans is a day set aside to commemorate the sacrifices and contributions of the United Nations veterans who fought in the Korean War to defend the Republic of Korea and liberal democracy, and to pay tribute to them together with the United Nations participating nations.

At 11.00 am on 11 November, the date marking the end of the First World War, various European nations observed a minute’s silence each year to honour the soldiers who fell in the war, and it was from this that the tradition of commemorating those who lost their lives in war began. Consequently, South Korea has also designated 11 November as the International Day of Remembrance for UN Veterans.

South Korea honours the sacrifices and contributions of 1.95 million UN veterans from 22 countries, and at 11.00 am on 11 November, the nation observes a minute’s silence in the direction of the UN Memorial Park in Busan.

Each country holds its own commemorative ceremonies on 11 November. However, this explains why we at G.Y.B 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 honour the sacrifices made by humanity and to link that remembrance to our responsibility for the future.”

2. Official description

“[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is an international civic campaign to commemorate all lives lost to war, industrial accidents and technological disasters, and to share the collective responsibility for humanity to build a safer future based on that remembrance.”

“It proposes an ethical framework that goes beyond traditional commemoration, which is limited to reminiscing about the past, by transforming memory into a sense of responsibility; it is an expanded concept of global commemoration that encompasses not only war but also industrial accidents and technological disasters.”

3. Links with the international community and the UN

“Based on the symbolic significance of 11 November as a day of global remembrance, this day serves as a global platform that carries forward the spirit of commemorating UN veterans whilst extending its significance to the realms of industry and technology, thereby emphasising the shared safety and responsibility of humankind.”

4. Philosophical Message

“Memory is not for the past, but a responsibility for the future.

[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is a day when the human conscience, which does not forget sacrifice, leads to a shared promise among humankind never to repeat such a tragedy.”

5. Distinctiveness

“Whilst traditional commemoration has been limited to ‘remembrance’, [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is an action-oriented concept of commemoration that progresses from ‘remembrance

→ responsibility → prevention of recurrence’.”

6. [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]

“This is a practical platform that goes beyond mere commemoration to form a system for the protection of human life, encompassing industrial safety and technical responsibility.”

7. G.Y.B is developing a life-saving 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 extend that memory into “responsibility”	Preparing for Future Safety Through Responsibility
Including not only the sacrifices of war but also those of industry and technology	Emphasizing responsibility for technology and safety
Ensuring that such tragedies are not repeated	Strengthening international cooperation for peace

G.Y.B – 11.11
Remembrance & Responsibility Day

This international citizens’ initiative pursues the following values.

History teaches us that peace can never 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: Whilst we organise the 11 November R&R DAY as a day and time of remembrance, we do not exist solely for the sake of this anniversary. Building on this day, we dedicate time to honouring the memory of the victims and reflecting on our responsibilities; we are also working to safeguard human life and contribute to future safety by applying the safety technologies we have developed. We plan to disclose some details of these safety technologies to participants in a second email; these are initiatives that anyone would recognise 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 has its own memorial service on 11 November, and these services are held at 11.00 in each respective country.

In line with the values upheld by G.Y.B., 11:11 on 11 November can be more than just a time to commemorate the victims of war; it can be a global moment to reaffirm humanity’s shared commitment to preserving peace.

November 11	Day of Remembrance for the Victims
11 November at 11:00	A moment of silence to commemorate and remember the victims (5–10 minutes)
11 November, 11:11 onwards~	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 respects the UN’s tradition of remembrance whilst expanding its significance.

This day is not intended to replace or compete with existing international cultures of remembrance, but rather

to propose a new concept of international civic participation that links remembrance with responsibility.

1. Respect for historical commemoration

11 November has long been established in the international community as a day to remember those who have 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 spirit of remembrance, but rather proposes civic action that links this remembrance 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, in modern society, there is no national commemorative day for those who have lost their lives due to the dangers facing humanity. [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day] should also include a national commemorative day designed to foster a shared sense of purpose amongst nations, so that no more human lives are lost.

Armistice Day	G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day
Veterans Day
Remembrance Day
UN Day of Remembrance (Busan)
War	War, industrial disasters, technical accidents, major safety incidents, threats to humanity as a whole

[G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day] proposes a day on which, against this backdrop, we go a step further than simply remembering past sacrifices and take practical steps 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 a national commemorative day, but an international day of remembrance and responsibility in which citizens of the world can participate together.

Key activities for the day

- A roll-call to remember the victims

- International solidarity for safety and the protection of life

- A commitment to future generations.

4. Shared values with the UN Department of Mental Health

[G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day] is guided by the following values, which are aligned with the spirit of the United Nations.

Peace for humanity

The dignity of human life

International cooperation

A sustainable and safe society

This day is therefore a civic proposal to extend, at the level of global citizenship, the spirit of shared human responsibility that the UN has long emphasised.

“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.”

“From Memory to Responsibility”

[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]

Remembrance & Responsibility

1. Concept Positioning (Definition of the concept)

11 November, 11:00, 11:10 (Global Symbolic Time)

11 November at 11:11 am (Responsibility Session)

The End of the First World War

→ Global Remembrance of War Sacrifice

(Commemorating war victims worldwide, and paying tribute to victims such as those of the Iri Station explosion)

→ Symbol of Industrial & Technological Tragedy

(A symbol of the tragedy of industry and technology)

2. Core Philosophy

REMEMBRANCE → RESPONSIBILITY → PREVENTION → GLOBAL SAFETY
(Memory) (Human Safety)

■ Traditional commemoration: Focus on remembrance (Past-oriented)

■ G.Y.B: Memory + Responsibility + System (Future-oriented)

3. Structural differentiation

Category	Day of Remembrance	G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY
Purpose	Remembering the past	Safeguarding the future
Ethics	Memory	Memory + Responsibility
Scope	War	War + Industry + Technological Risks
Features	Consciousness	Action + Systems + Research
Results		Prevention of recurrence

4. Research Agenda

≫ Life-cycle tracking system for industrial explosives

≫ Global monitoring framework for hazardous substances

≫ AI-based risk prediction model

≫ Integration of international safety data

≫ Ethical framework for technological responsibility

5. Operating Mechanism

[GLOBAL REMEMBRANCE]

↓
[REDUCTION OF HUMAN LOSS]

■ Key points: Commemoration → Information gathering

→ Technology → Policy → Protection of life

6. Why is this important?

Although humanity has always remembered tragedies, it has not yet fully systematised measures to prevent them.

Industrial and technological risks are on the rise worldwide.

G.Y.B proposes the following:

→ Global Ethical + Technical Response System

7. Expected Outcomes

≫ Reduction in the number of casualties from industrial accidents

≫ Establishment of global standards for the management of hazardous

substances

≫ Enhancement of collaboration between academia, policymakers

and industry

≫ Transformation of remembrance into a practical system

8. Call for Participation

≫ We invite professors and researchers from around the world

≫ Join us in interdisciplinary collaboration

≫ Contribute your research and expertise

≫ Support the development of a global safety framework

9. Key Message

“A memory without responsibility is merely a memory.

Responsibility transforms that memory into a safeguard for future generations.”

✔ [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]

A global academic and ethical framework for transforming remembrance into a preventive safety system.

The relationship between the two concepts

(the most important structure)

Commemorating UN Veterans → Remembering (Remembrance)
G.Y.B-11.11 R&R Day
→ Memory + Responsibility (Remembrance & Responsibility)

G.Y.B-11.11 R&R DAY is a day that expands upon existing commemorative traditions to propose a “shared commitment by humanity to move from remembrance to responsibility”.

Time Structure

Minute’s silence in memory of UN veterans
→ 11 November at 11.00 (11 November at 11.00)


G.Y.B Roll-Call
(A moment of remembrance and responsibility to call out the names of the victims) → 11.11.11:11 (11 November at 11:11)

“We are not merely talking about remembrance; we are also proposing the technology and systems needed to prevent such events from recurring.”

Meaning of ‘Roll-Call’

Roll-call is not merely a ritual. It symbolises the following three universal values.

Remembrance	To remember and honour the lives of those who have lost their lives.
Responsibility	Recognising 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 out during the roll call, we are reminded of the life of the individual behind that name. That moment serves as a reminder that upholding peace is the responsibility of all humankind.

11 November has long been a day to honour 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 on which, drawing on that memory, we put our responsibility for human safety into practice

≫ Key significance → Remembrance and gratitude for the victims of war

≫ Main focus → Soldiers, veterans and victims of war

≫ Starting point = Historical remembrance of war

■ [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]

≫ Origin: Iri Station explosion

(awareness of the 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 civilisation and human responsibility

Focus on military casualties	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
11 November, 11:00 “A moment of remembrance to honour the sacrifices”	11 November, 11:00 “A moment of remembrance to honour the sacrifices” 11 November, 11:11 “A moment of transition from remembrance to responsibility”
11 November, 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 Orientation	Gratitude, admiration, respect, remembrance, and prayers for peace. Reflective. Never forgetting the sacrifices made	Memory, accountability, prevention, system improvement, protection of life Taking responsibility to ensure that such sacrifices are not repeated Ethics in technology, forward-looking
View of Humanity	Human beings = beings who remember; Sacrifice = an object of respect; Role = a community that honours the past; “Beings who respect existence through memory”	Human beings = beings who fulfil their responsibilities Sacrifice = both a lesson and a warning Role = the agent that shapes the future “Beings who shape 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 when action begins’ (Value of Responsibility for the Future)
Functional differences	Memorial service, moment of silence Commemorative event Role = Preserving memory	Commemoration + Policy + Technology + Research Establishing safety systems Global engagement (donations, academic collaboration, etc.) Role = Remembrance → Action → Change

Interpretations of Sacrifice	Sacrifice = noble devotion Interpretation = respect and gratitude “Honouring sacrifice”	Sacrifice = The result of system failure + lessons learnt by people Interpretation = The starting point for accountability and improvement “Change through sacrifice”
	Strengthening community cohesion Preserving historical memory Reinforcing a culture of peace ■ Value functions → Identity Preservation	Establishing Safety Systems Global Collaboration Establishing Technological Ethics ■ Core Values → Problem-Solving Ethics

**It is not a competitive relationship but a hierarchical value structure; it is an ‘evolutionary relationship’**.

If memory is a moral obligation towards the past, responsibility is an ethical obligation towards the future.

[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] This Day of Remembrance does not replace existing traditions of remembrance, but rather extends them into a global framework of responsibility.

“Without memory, there is no responsibility. But without responsibility, memory repeats itself.”

Traditional remembrance is about honouring the past.

G.Y.B transforms remembrance into a system of responsibility that safeguards the future.

[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is a day when humanity transforms its sense of responsibility into action to ensure that such sacrifices are never repeated.

Memorial services by country / [G.Y.B 11.11 R&R DAY]

1. Comparison with memorial services in other countries

[Armistice Day]	[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]
[Remembrance Day]
[US Veterans Day]
[UN Tribute]
Armistice Day, Remembrance Day, US Veterans Day, The UN’s commemoration remains confined to ‘remembrance’, whilst G.Y.B ‘extends remembrance into responsibility and prevention’.

2. Structural Comparison (Key Schema for Persuasion)

Armistice Day US	Sacrifice → Remembrance → Commemoration → Emotional empathy
Remembrance Day
Veterans Day
UN Commemoration
G.Y.B Structure	Sacrifice → Remembrance → Commemoration → Accountability → Prevention → Systemic change → Protecting the future

G.Y.B “Evolving from remembering the past to a framework for safeguarding the future”

3. Common limitations of memorial services in different countries

Armistice / Remembrance / Veterans / UN Commemoration
① Focus on the past	Although this is remembered → it does not lead to changes in the current system
② Focus on War	Industrial accidents, technical disasters → Modern risks are not included
③ Emotion-centred	Care, respect, gratitude → Lack of a structural prevention system

Common values shared by the 11 November commemorations in different countries

Respect for the sacrifices made, a commitment to peace, and the preservation of historical memory

[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is a ‘Day of Responsibility to Ensure Such Sacrifices Are Not Repeated’.

[ G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY ] ✔ Three key innovations
① Memory → Responsibility (Ethical Upgrade)	Existing : “Remember” G.Y.B : “Remember + Take Responsibility”
② War → A disaster affecting all of humanity (Scope Expansion)	War, industrial accidents, technological disasters → Including real-world risks in modern society
③ Emotions → System	Establishment of a prevention system

■ Version 1

11 November is a day of remembrance in various countries,

honouring the past.

G.Y.B transforms remembrance into a responsibility towards the future.

■ Version 2

Rather than merely preserving existing national commemorative events held on 11 November as historical memories,

[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] presents a forward-looking ethical framework that links remembrance, responsibility, prevention and systematic safety.

■ Version 3

If memory cannot prevent repetition, it will remain an incomplete memory.

G.Y.B exists to complete that memory.

4. G.Y.B Frame

Existing memorial services, historical value, cultural value

■ [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]

✔ Ethical values (introduction of the concept of responsibility)

✔ Technical values (integration with safety systems)

✔ Humanitarian values (protecting all life, beyond the context of war)

On 11 November, G.Y.B is extending the spirit of the national memorial service to [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY].

G.Y.B 11.11 R&R DAY

[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is not intended to replace 11 November as the International Day of Remembrance.

Humanity has long remembered those who have fallen in war.

However, today humanity faces new forms of tragedy, such as industrial accidents, technological disasters and preventable loss of life. Therefore, G.Y.B completes the act of remembrance by transforming the memory of all victims into a sense of responsibility.
