1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Korean War Divided Families Reunification Act . 2. Consultations on reuniting Korean Americans with family members in North Korea (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The division of the Korean Peninsula into South Korea and North Korea separated thousands of Koreans from family members. (2) Since the signing of the Agreement Concerning a Military Armistice in Korea, signed at Panmunjom July 27, 1953 (commonly referred to as the Korean War Armistice Agreement ), there has been little to no contact between Korean Americans and family members who remain in North Korea. (3) North Korea and South Korea first agreed to reunions of divided families in 1985 and have since held 20 face-to-face reunions and multiple video link reunions. (4) Those reunions have subsequently given approximately 22,000 Koreans the opportunity to briefly reunite with loved ones. (5) The most recent family reunions between North Korea and South Korea took place in August 2018 and did not include any Korean Americans. (6) The United States and North Korea do not maintain diplomatic relations and certain limitations exist on Korean Americans participating in face-to-face reunions. (7) According to the most recent census, more than 1,700,000 people living in the United States are of Korean descent. (8) The number of first generation Korean and Korean American family members divided from family members in North Korea is rapidly diminishing given the advanced age of those family members. More than 3,000 elderly South Koreans die each year without having been reunited with their family members. (9) Many Korean Americans with family members in North Korea have not seen or communicated with those family members in more than 60 years. (10) The inclusion of Korean American families in the reunion process would constitute a positive humanitarian gesture by the Government of North Korea.
