North Korea is consistently identified as one of the world's worst
human rights abusers. However, the issue of human rights in North
Korea is a complex one, intertwined with issues like life in the
North Korean police state, inter-Korean relations,
denuclearization, access to information in the North, and
international cooperation, to name a few. There are likewise
multiple actors involved, including the two Korean governments, the
United States, the United Nations, South Korea NGOs, and global
human rights organizations. While North Korea's nuclear weapons and
the security threat it poses have occupied the center stage and
eclipsed other issues in recent years, human rights remain
important to U.S. policy.The contributors to The North Korean
Conundrum explore how dealing with the issue of human rights is
shaped and affected by the political issues with which it is so
entwined. Sections discuss the role of the United Nations; how
North Koreans' limited access to information is part of the
problem, and how this is changing; the relationship between human
rights and denuclearization; and North Korean human rights in
comparative perspective.
