In October of 2001, a distinguished group of foreign
policy and human rights specialists launched the U.S. Committee for
Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK) to promote human rights in North
Korea.
Current Activities:
The Committee's initial activities will be to conduct three studies
that will focus on political prisons and labor camps, the denial of
equal access to food and goods, and the plight of refugees fleeing to
China.
These studies will provide a foundation for other
activities, which will include the development of an international
network of human rights, humanitarian assistance, and policy
organizations committed to the opening of the North Korean system.
Groups based in South Korea, where two international conferences on
human rights in North Korea have already been held, will form a core
part of this network.
