Pyongyang, April 7 (KCNA) -- After fabricating the "Ulsa Five-point Treaty" in a brigandish way, the Japanese imperialists buckled down to annexing Korea to Japan and making the Korean people its slaves.
To this end, the imperialists sought to provide a legal mechanism for usurping the feudal Korean government's authority for handling internal affairs, which existed only for form's sake.
The Japanese imperialists regarded as the first obstacle Emperor Kojong who remained opposed to their seizure of Korea's sovereignty at that time. Therefore, they left no means and methods untried to eliminate him.
Emperor Kojong sent emissaries to the Second International Peace Conference held in 1907 to disclose the illegality and invalidity of the "Ulsa (1905) Five-point Treaty" and the injustice of Japan's colonial rule over Korea. Regarding it as a golden opportunity, the Japanese imperialists forcibly dethroned Emperor Kojong through threat and blackmail, pressure and cunning tricks.
Later, they put Sunjong on the throne and let Hirobumi Ito, resident-general of Korea, cook up the "Jongmi Seven-point Treaty".
The "treaty" required the feudal Korean government to go under the instructions of the resident-general of Japan in the policy issues and obtain his approval before revising law or making important administrative decisions. It also obliged the feudal Korean government to appoint any senior government official with the consent of the resident-general and to appoint Japanese nominated by the resident-general as a high-ranking government official.
After completely seizing the right to internal affairs of the feudal Korean government, ranging from the judicial, legislative and administrative affairs to the appointment of government officials by invoking the "Jongmi Seven-point Treaty", an illegal fraud document devoid of legitimacy, the Japanese imperialists had enforced barbarous colonial rule over Korea. -0-
