Notably, the revised law adds a section about threats to the safety of North Korea\u2019s supreme leader, Kim Jong Un.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revised law broadens the scope of reporting from \u201canti-socialist phenomena\u201d to \u201call kinds of unusual phenomena observed in one\u2019s social context.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBy broadening the scope of reporting from anti-regime areas to all of everyday life, the regime appears to be encouraging citizens to even report more mundane problems. The net of surveillance has expanded so that every part of society is now subject to reporting,\u201d said Hwang Hyun-uk, senior researcher at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily NK\u2019s AND Center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe North Korean authorities are using these changes to more thoroughly monitor every potential threat to the system and to enlist citizens to play the role of voluntary monitors. The goal is to further reinforce the stability of the regime by building an all-encompassing system of surveillance,\u201d Hwang explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose of the Public Reporting System Law is to protect state sovereignty and the socialist system by establishing a reporting system for the entire populace. The consolidation of the reporting system through the latest revision of the law appears to reflect the North Korean authorities\u2019 determination to eliminate any elements that could threaten the system or impair its maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indeed, North Korea put considerable effort into emphasizing the duty to report and bolstering the reporting system in its revision of this law.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"font-claude-message pr-4 md:pr-9 relative leading-[1.65rem] [&amp;_pre&gt;div]:bg-bg-300 [&amp;_.ignore-pre-bg&gt;div]:bg-transparent [&amp;_pre]:-mr-4 md:[&amp;_pre]:-mr-9\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"grid-cols-1 grid gap-2.5 [&amp;_&gt;_*]:min-w-0\">\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">The revised law&#8217;s fourth article mandates increased public education to establish reporting as a civic duty, while requiring regular promotion of reporting systems and methods to encourage widespread participation in the program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The regime appears to be emphasizing the mandatory nature of reporting so as to inculcate citizens with the idea that informing on others is a fundamental duty \u2014 and thereby motivating them to be more proactive about carrying out that duty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNorth Korea is reinforcing the idea that reporting is an important civic duty for maintaining state security and order, with the goal of better establishing reporting culture. By encouraging citizens to play the role of voluntary monitors, the state hopes to increase control,\u201d Hwang said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revised law also establishes a reporting system for neighborhood watch units <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Articles 10 and 11); <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enables patrols and regional authorities to collect reports <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Article 13); and authorizes computerized reporting methods (Article 14). These changes broaden the scope of surveillance to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">neighborhood watch units and regions while enabling citizens to make reports online, building a multifaceted system of surveillance and reporting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korean mobile phones are equipped with an app called \u201cReport,\u201d indicating that the online reporting system is expanding from intranet environments to mobile devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revision to the law adds several new behaviors that should be reported: (1) threats to the safety of the supreme leader; (2) the influx of reactionary ideology and culture; (3) illegal border crossings; and (4) violations of disease control regulations and contact with suspicious items, birds and wild animals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the new reportable behaviors, \u201cthreats to the safety of the supreme leader\u201d appears at the very top of the list, emphasizing that safeguarding the regime is the top priority of the reporting system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBy specifically categorizing the various critical threats to the North Korean regime, the revised law guides citizens to clearly understand the reporting priorities and to cooperate in protecting the regime,&#8221; Hwang said. &#8220;North Korea clearly intends to use these measures to exercise a high degree of control in areas such as leadership and regime purity and border and anti-epidemic discipline.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Korean version of the law is available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/241107_\uacf5\ud654\uad6d-\uad70\uc911\uc2e0\uace0\ubc95_\uc218\uc815.pdf\">here<\/a>.
