Human Security in North Korea Forum: The Human Rights Situation in North Korea

This program will address the key issues and perspectives pertaining to human rights in North Korea, focusing in particular on refugees and human trafficking.

This is the third in a series of three programs inaugurating KEI’s new Human Security in North Korea Forum, designed to improve understanding of the steps required to identify and respond to the needs of North Koreans. The UNDP’s 1994 Human Development Report identified seven threat areas to human security: economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, and political security. KEI’s new forum will address those issues at the top of the human security agenda for North Korea. Programs will be held periodically and each will fall under one of our three main topic areas: humanitarian assistance, development assistance, and human rights.

Please join KEI as we welcome and engage Professor Vitit Muntabhorn in this topic.
