[imText1]On the 3rd, Debra Liang-Fenton, Executive Director for a non-government organization, U.S. Committee for Human Rights in North Korea and Jared Genser, an attorney of a worldwide law firm, DLA Piper, announced a report at Cecil Restaurant in Jeong-dong, Seoul on the state of human rights in North Korea. They urged the U.N. Security Council to intervene on the issue of human rights in North Korea. <\/p>\n
Further, they advocated that the Korean government must act proactively not only to solve the nuke issue but human rights in North Korea. <\/p>\n
The report supported by various people such as Vaclav Havel, the former Czech President, Nobel Peace Prize laureate (\u201986) Professor Elie Wiesel of Boston University and former Norwegian Prime Minister, Kjell Magne Bondevik were known to have petitioned to the U.N. Security Council last month urging intervention on the issue of North Korean human rights.<\/p>\n
The report claimed that the Security Council must make constructive intervention as the masses of North Korean citizens are dying of hunger as a result of the North Korean administration systematically indulging itself, violating human rights and failing to uphold the food policy.<\/p>\n
In particular, as North Korea\u2019s counterfeit money, illicit drugs, illegal acts and tens and thousands of defectors create liabilities on other countries, they claimed that the Security Council has every right to intervene.<\/p>\n
Executive Director Liang-Fenton said \u201cThe international community must intervene to ensure that the systematic violation of human rights no longer occurs in North Korea. Moreover, though the U.N. and the international community have made efforts to improve human rights in North Korea in the past, there has been no visible change.\u201d <\/p>\n
Furthermore she said \u201cThe report justifies that the Security Council must intervene on North Korea human rights issue and provides legal basis as to why constructive action must be made.\u201d<\/p>\n
Associate Genser explained \u201cFormer Czech President Havel and Professor Elie of Boston University are planning to directly meet with members of the Security Council to plead action. The report provides persuasive reasons as to why the Security Council must be proactive.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added \u201cThe Security Council must adopt a resolution solving not only to the nuke issue but the issue of human rights in North Korea\u201d and claimed \u201cIn the case North Korea ignores the Security Council\u2019s resolution, a resolution permitting materialistic action must be made in accordance to the U.N. Charter 7.\u201d<\/p>\n
He criticized the Korean government\u2019s passive position on the North Korean human rights issue saying \u201cThe Sunshine Policy was made to further talks with North Korea, however in the past there has been no talks on North Korean human rights\u201d and urged \u201cThe Korean government should look at the report, be proactive and promote talks on human rights with North Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n
It will be revealed that an additional report on the severity of defector women slave trade will be announced in early December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
