| Failure to Protect: A Call for the UN Security Council to Act in North Korea | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Description: | A discussion with Mr. Jared Genser, a senior associate at DLA Piper LLP, who will discuss a recently released report on the human rights and humanitarian situation in North Korea. DLA Piper LLP and the US Committee for Human Rights in North Korea were commissioned by former Czech Republic President Václav Havel, former Norwegian Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik, and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Elie Wiesel to produce the report entitled "Failure to protect: A Call for the UN Security Council to Act in North Korea". The report seeks to spotlight rights abuses that have been previously reported but are often overshadowed by concern about North Korea's nuclear ambitions. Released after North Korea's Oct. 9 nuclear test, the report describes Pyongyang's brutal treatment of its citizens, from the beatings of pregnant women to forced miscarriages to the abduction, torture and execution of political prisoners. | ||
