Change The Lives Of Millions Of North Koreans

Our mission is to uncover human rights abuses under the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and affect real change in the country. The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea is an advocacy and research organization with a primary aim to educate and advocate for the North Korean people.

 

Who Is HRNK?

In October 2001, a distinguished group of foreign policy and human rights specialists launched the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK) to promote human rights in North Korea. Since then, HRNK has played a pivotal role in revealing human rights abuses in the country.

The denial of human rights in North Korea is a terrible injustice that can no longer be ignored.
