Book Description
The White Paper on Human Rights in North Korea 2017 aims to increase awareness on North Korean human rights issues in Korea as well as abroad by providing the basic materials required for related discussions and activities. Also, this White Paper comprehensively and systematically analyzes the human rights situation in North Korea and North Korean human rights issues. This White Paper bases its views of the human rights situation of the North Korean people on the framework of international human rights standards. As is well known, North Korea is a State Party to major international human rights treaties. To identify the extent to which the individual rights recognized in each treaty are guaranteed, we first reviewed the relevant laws and regulations of North Korea and examined the related realities. Such analysis is meaningful in that we can identify the level of compliance by North Korea in the laws and regulations it has enacted on its own as well as the degree to which it has fulfilled its international obligations as a State Party to these treaties.

Book Description
"This report documents unwanted sexual contact and violence that is so common in North Korea it has come to be accepted as part of ordinary life. Many North Koreans told Human Rights Watch that when an official in a position of power “picks” a woman she has no choice but to comply with any demands he makes, whether for sex, money, or other favors. Women interviewed said that the sexual predators include high-ranking party officials, prison and detention facility guards and interrogators, police and secret police officials, prosecutors, and soldiers. Fearful of social disgrace and retaliation, and with few, if any, avenues for redress, North Korean women rarely report abuse."--Publisher website.

Book Description
North Korea has presented one of the most vexing and persistent problems in U.S. foreign policy in the post-Cold War period. The United States has never had formal diplomatic relations with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (the official name for North Korea), although contact at a lower level has ebbed and flowed over the years. Negotiations over North Korea's nuclear weapons program have occupied the past three U.S. administrations, even as some analysts anticipated a collapse of the isolated authoritarian regime. North Korea has been the recipient of over $1 billion in U.S. aid (though none since 2009) and the target of dozens of U.S. sanctions.

Routledge Handbook of Contemporary North Korea
Author: Adrian Buzo
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429804008
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary North Korea presents a comprehensive picture of contemporary North Korea, placed in historical context and set against the overlapping fields of politics, economy, culture, society and foreign relations. Spanning a period of significant transition for North Korea, this volume provides accurate analysis and applications of both historical and institutional perspectives. The volume’s chapters are representative of the growth in North Korean studies that has occurred since the 1990s, in parallel with the growing maturity of the field in South Korea, as well as with far greater levels of access to North Korean sources. The volume is divided into five Parts, each reflecting an emergent area of debate and research: The political perspective The North Korean economy Foreign relations Society Culture This is the first anthology of North Korean studies to demonstrate a clear understanding of North Korea as North Korea, as opposed to a dimly perceived and threatening rogue state. It features both Korean and non-Korean contributors, many working from primary source material. As such, this handbook will prove a valuable resource to students and scholars of Northeast Asian studies, modern Korean history and politics, and comparative politics more broadly.
