The North Korean regime understands that its long-term survival can’t be guaranteed if South Korea continues to exist and thrive. From its viewpoint, unification under its control is the only way to guarantee its survival and perpetuation.
To achieve that goal, the Reconnaissance General Bureau (RGB) has been the ultimate instrument of infiltration, subversion, and disruption of South Korea. Collins scrutinizes the RGB’s genesis, history, mission, tactics, and chain of control and command. He highlights how RGB operations have violated international human rights law as well as the fundamental human rights of South Koreans and citizens of other countries.
Prior to the program, HRNK will share the Zoom link with confirmed participants.The event is open to the press and on-the-record.
