The Human Rights Factor: Changes Under Kim Jong-un
By Amanda Mortwedt Oh, HRNK Project Officer
Introduction
North Korea’s human rights landscape is changing since Kim
Jong-un came to power at the end of 2011, as evidenced by: 1) decreased refugee
flows to South Korea; 2) increased information infiltration into North Korea;
3) increased international pressure concerning human rights violations; 4)
North Korea’s responses to international criticism for its human rights
policies and practices; and 5) the growing nexus between security and human
rights.
