Human Rights in North Korea Activity Four (Required Activity)

Emblem of North Korea

In September 2014, the Korea Central News Agency published the below report on the state of human rights in North Korea (officially the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea or DPRK). It is regarded as an indirect response to the UN Commission of Inquiry report.

Read the 'Guiding Ideology and Social System' (pp. 6-16) and 'Freedom of Religion and Thought' (pp. 71-73) sections of the report. How does this contrast with the Commission of Inquiry findings?

Report of the DPRK Association for Human Rights Studies As published by Korea Central News Agency, September 13, 2014, pp. 6-16 (section on ‘Guiding Ideology and Social System’) and pp. 71-73 (section on ‘Freedom of Religion and Thought’).
