Memorial of Binh Hoa Massacre

The Bình Hòa Massacre, (Vietnamese: thảm sát Bình Hoà, Korean: 빈호아 학살) was a massacre purportedly conducted by South Korean forces between December 3 and December 6, 1966, of 430 unarmed civilians in Bình Hòa village, Quảng Ngãi Province in South Vietnam.[1][3] In 2000, however, it was reported that a monument within the village, gave the dates of the massacre as October 22, 24, and 26, 1966 and said that 403 people were killed by the South Koreans.[4]

The district was in the operational area of the Blue Dragon Brigade.[5] Most of the victims were children, elderly and women.[6] More than half the victims were women (including seven who were pregnant) and 166 children.[1][7] The South Korean soldiers burnt down all of the houses and killed hundreds of cows and buffalo after the atrocities.[1] A number of the survivors of the massacre joined the Viet Cong and fought against the United States and its Allies, one of which was South Korea.[1][8] South Korean forces were also accused of conducting a similar massacre in Binh Tai village within the same year.[9][10]

The massacre was discussed when British journalist Justin Wintle visited Vietnam in the late 1980s, where the report on the massacre was disclosed to Western media.[8]: 12

Citizens' Peace Tribunal

On April 22-23, 2018, several civil society organizations in South Korea, including the Lawyers for a Democratic Society and the Korea-Vietnam Peace Foundation, held the Citizens' Peace Tribunal for the Investigation of the Truth about the Massacre of Civilians by the Korean Army during the Vietnam War.[12] In this Citizens' Peace Tribunal, Nguyen Thi Thanh, a survivor of the Phong Nhi and Phong Nhat massacres, and Nguyen Thi Thanh (with the same name), a survivor of the Ha My massacre, appeared as plaintiffs and sued the South Korean government for damages.[13] The court of the Citizens' Peace Tribunal accepted their claims, ruled for compensation according to the State Compensation Act, and recommended that the South Korean government conduct a fact-finding investigation.[14][15] The Citizens' Peace Tribunal is a mock trial and has no legal binding force, but was considered significant in declaring the massacre as a universal human rights issue. The Citizens' Peace Tribunal argued that a special law was needed to eliminate the statute of limitations.[16] In addition, Minbyun is currently in the process of filing a lawsuit requesting the disclosure of the Central Intelligence Agency's data that investigated the Phong Nhi and Phong Nhat massacre in 1968.[17] The National Intelligence Service initially refused to disclose the information on the grounds of "diplomatic disadvantage," but when it received a court order to disclose it, it again refused to disclose the information on the grounds of "personal information."[18]

The Binh Hoa massacre was featured in the Korean documentary The Last Lullaby on the subject of Korean atrocities in South Vietnam.[19]
