Reception on the occasion of the #UNGA High-Level Meeting on DPRK #HumanRights situation (May 20), co-hosted by the permanent mission of ROK and a global coalition of 30 civil society organizations
"I strongly believe that when the human rights abuses in #NorthKorea stop, its illegal nuclear program will also stop."
"I hope you and your colleagues will continue to speak out. This is how change will eventually come to North Korea. And one day, the North Korean people will regain their freedom."

Today (May 20), the #UNGA held the first-ever High-Level Meeting specifically dedicated to #DPRK #HumanRights situation. Following the statements by Special Rapporteur on the DPRK human rights situation @UNSR_DPRK and representatives from civil society (@committeehrnk, @HanVoice), two escapees from #NorthKorea – Eunju Kim and Gyuri Kang - provided vivid and heartbreaking testimonies.
Ambassador Joonkook Hwang expressed deep concern over the ongoing gross human rights violations in NK, emphasizing that, if human rights violations in NK stop, nuclear weapons development will also stop. He also strongly urged North Korea to immediately resolve all the cases of abductees, unrepatriated prisoners of war, and detainees, including the prompt release of three Korean missionaries—KIM Jung Wook, KIM Kook Kie and CHOI Chun Gil—and that all Member States respect the principle of non-refoulement.

The resolution on human rights in DPRK, adopted at #HRC55 mandates a comprehensive stocktaking report during Kim Jong Un's era, reinforcing the UN's accountability efforts.
HanVoice retweeted
Systematic, widespread & gross human rights violations are ongoing in North Korea. It is vital that the international community does not lose sight of this human crisis. This is why the EU led once more this resolution at #HRC55, extending the mandate of the Special Rapporteur.
