PRESS RELEASE: UN COMMISSION OF INQUIRY REPORT ON NORTH KOREA CHINESE PAGE NOW AVAILABLE
新闻稿：联合国调查委员会－北韩报告总结，维基百科中文页面更新完毕
WASHINGTON, October 5, 2017— Following the recent enactment of UN Security Council Resolutions 2371 and 2375, in response to North Korea’s continued nuclear threat and human rights abuses, HRNK wishes to announce the launch of a new Wikipedia page available in Chinese. The page covers the UN Commission of Inquiry (UN COI) report on human rights abuses in North Korea, which is also available in English and Korean. This is part of a larger series of contributions by HRNK to Wikipedia on human rights in North Korea and was completed with the intent to be a comprehensive, neutral, relevant, and thoroughly referenced account of the circumstances that led to the creation of the UN COI in 2014, a summary of the UN COI report, and the reactions to it.
华盛顿，2017年10月4号－近期，因北韩持续的核武器试验及人权侵犯，联合国安委会以第2371与2375次决议作为回应，试图用制裁的方式阻止北韩侵略性的行为。北韩人权委员会相应发布了2014年联合国调查委员会－北韩报告总结的中文页面 （也可阅读韩文）。此文章是北韩人权委员会贡献于维基百科“北韩人权”系列中的一个章节，目的是为大众提供一份完整，中立，切题，且周密的北韩人权现状总结。
More than a year ago, HRNK announced the release of its Wikipedia Page in English on the UN COI report, which concluded that “[s]ystematic, widespread and gross human rights violations have been, and are being, committed by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, its institutions and officials. In many instances, the violations of human rights…constitute crimes against humanity.” Please click here for the original press release.
一年多前，北韩人权委员会公布了联合国调查委员会之北韩报告总结的英文维基百科页面，该报道总结了：北韩的政府与官员进行了系统，普遍，及恶劣的人权侵犯。在很多情况下，其对于人权的侵犯侵犯已构成了反人道罪。请点击这里阅读原文。
The UN COI report acknowledges that North Korea is a state with no parallel in the contemporary world due to the gravity, scale, and nature of its human rights abuses. The UN COI found that crimes against humanity are committed pursuant to “policies established at the highest level of the state.” The article quotes Michael Kirby, the chair of the UN COI: “Unlike earlier totalitarian states and oppressive conduct, the world cannot now lament, ‘if only we had known…’ Now, the world does know. And the question is whether the world will respond effectively and take the necessary action.”
根据联合国人权委员会的报道，世上没有任何一个国家对于人权的侵犯在其力度、规模与性质上可与北韩相提并论。委员会发现，北韩的犯下的反人类罪的依据是其“国家最高政策”。文章引用了迈克尔·科比，联合国人权委员会主席的话: 不同于先前的独裁政府及镇压行为，全世界可以用“如果事先知道就好了”来哀悼 。。。现在的世界已经了解了北韩的人权现状 ，问题在于当今世界是否要对其提供相应的措施。
For that reason, HRNK seeks to maximize the visibility of that crucial report by enabling its accessibility in Chinese. The Chinese people deserve to have access to information through channels like Wikipedia. Furthermore, the Chinese community of interest shares a crucial role in discouraging the Chinese government from repatriating North Korean escapees in China. Specifically, the UN COI report states that China should:
因此，北韩人权委员会希望以把文章翻译成中文的方式来最大限度地曝光此报告。中国人民有权利通过类似于维基百科类的渠道获得信息。此外，中国的相关组织在阻止中国政府遣返逃亡至中国的脱北者中，扮演了重要的角色。具体来讲，此报告认为中国应当：
“Respect the principle of non-refoulement. Accordingly, abstain from forcibly repatriating any persons to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, unless the treatment there, as verified by international human rights monitors, markedly improves. Extend asylum and other means of durable protection to persons fleeing the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea who need international protection. Ensure that such persons are fully integrated and duly protected from discrimination.”
“尊重非遣返原理，并相应地，避免强制遣返脱北者，除非国际人权监督组织核实了当地的人权状况有了显著的改善。政府应扩建收容所并以其他长期的保护手段 为脱北者提供向相应的保护，确保这个群体能完全融入中国社会并且不受歧视。”
Escapees face unimaginable persecution ranging from imprisonment to execution upon being forcibly returned to North Korea. Since China is perhaps the only country in the world with enough leverage on the Kim regime to force its compliance vis-a-vis hard power, and accounts for over 80% of North Korea’s foreign trade, the help and support of the Chinese people is now more imperative than ever. In the words of Winston Lord, HRNK Board Member and Former US Ambassador to China:
若被强行遣返，脱北者将面临不可想象的追杀。由于中国是世界唯一能用硬实力来与北韩谈判的国家，且占北韩国际贸易的百分之八十，中国人民的帮助自然至关重要。用北韩人权委员会董事会成员温斯顿·洛德的话来讲：
"For decades China has been condemning to prison, torture, and death North Koreans entering its territory in flight from the hideous abuses of the Pyongyang regime. This cruel practice of repatriating refugees was once again declared illegal in the comprehensive United Nations Report on North Korean human rights atrocities. The Chinese translation of information on this and other abuses will help inform Chinese speakers around the world about this continuing nightmare."
"近几十年，中国政府将为了逃离平壤残暴统治而逃往中国领土的脱北者监禁，及对其实施酷刑和死刑。这份详尽的“北韩人权委员会调查报告”将遣返难民的残忍行径再次揭露并宣告违法。将此信息和其它对于人权的侵犯的翻译成中文能够让全世界更多说中文的人了解，诸如此类的噩梦扔在持续。"
Concurrently, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has directly quoted a 2016 HRNK publication on flooding at Kyo-hwa-so No. 12. These efforts go hand in hand in increasing the flow of information on the human rights situation in North Korea.
联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯近期引用了北韩人权委员会2016年出版的再教育第十二令营报告。这些活动相辅相成地增加了北韩人权现状的信息流通。
Finally, HRNK invites all interested parties to submit additions, revisions, and corrections to increase the accuracy of this article. Only with your assistance and a collective endeavor may we inform and highlight the human rights atrocities in the world’s most repressive regime.
最后，北韩人权委员会欢迎所有感兴趣的人士来共同完善这篇文章的准确性。您的加入是我们在曝光北韩人权侵犯现状的路上必不可少的支持。

In this submission, HRNK focuses its attention on the following issues in the DPRK:
- The status of the system of detention facilities, where a multitude of human rights violations are ongoing.
- The post-COVID human security and human rights status of North Korean women, with particular attention to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).
- The issue of Japanese abductees and South Korean prisoners of war (POWs), abductees, and unjust detainees.
This report provides an abbreviated update to our previous reports on a long-term political prison commonly identified by former prisoners and researchers as Kwan-li-so No. 25 by providing details of activity observed during 2021–2023.
This report was originally published on Tearline at https://www.tearline.mil/public_page/prison-camp-25.
This report explains how the Kim regime organizes and implements its policy of human rights denial using the Propaganda and Agitation Department (PAD) to preserve and strengthen its monolithic system of control. The report also provides detailed background on the history of the PAD, as well as a human terrain map that details present and past PAD leadership.

HRNK's latest satellite imagery report analyzes a 5.2 km-long switchback road, visible in commercial satellite imagery, that runs from Testing Tunnel No. 1 at North Korea's Punggye-ri nuclear test facility to the perimeter of Kwan-li-so (political prison camp) no. 16.
This report proposes a long-term, multilateral legal strategy, using existing United Nations resolutions and conventions, and U.S. statutes that are either codified or proposed in appended model legislation, to find, freeze, forfeit, and deposit the proceeds of the North Korean government's kleptocracy into international escrow. These funds would be available for limited, case-by-case disbursements to provide food and medical care for poor North Koreans, and--contingent upon Pyongyang's progress
For thirty years, U.S. North Korea policy have sacrificed human rights for the sake of addressing nuclear weapons. Both the North Korean nuclear and missile programs have thrived. Sidelining human rights to appease the North Korean regime is not the answer, but a fundamental flaw in U.S. policy.

North Korea’s forced labor enterprise and its state sponsorship of human trafficking certainly continued until the onset of the COVID pandemic. HRNK has endeavored to determine if North Korean entities responsible for exporting workers to China and Russia continued their activities under COVID as well.
George Hutchinson's The Suryong, the Soldier, and Information in the KPA is the second of three building blocks of a multi-year HRNK project to examine North Korea's information environment. Hutchinson's thoroughly researched and sourced report addresses the circulation of information within the Korean People's Army (KPA). Understanding how KPA soldiers receive their information is needed to prepare information campaigns while taking into account all possible contingenc
This report is part of a comprehensive long-term project undertaken by HRNK to use satellite imagery and former prisoner interviews to shed light on human suffering in North Korea by monitoring activity at political prison facilities throughout the nation. This is the second HRNK satellite imagery report detailing activity observed during 2015 to 2021 at a prison facility commonly identified by former prisoners and researchers as “Kwan-li-so No. 14 Kaech’ŏn” (39.646810, 126.117058) and
This report is part of a comprehensive long-term project undertaken by HRNK to use satellite imagery and former prisoner interviews to shed light on human suffering in North Korea by monitoring activity at civil and political prison facilities throughout the nation.

Through satellite imagery analysis and witness testimony, HRNK has identified a previously unknown potential kyo-hwa-so long-term prison-labor facility at Sŏnhwa-dong (선화동) P’ihyŏn-gun, P’yŏngan-bukto, North Korea. While this facility appears to be operational and well maintained, further imagery analysis and witness testimony collection will be necessary in order to irrefutably confirm that Sŏnhwa-dong is a kyo-hwa-so.

Human Rights in the Democratic Republic of Korea: The Role of the United Nations" is HRNK's 50th report in our 20-year history. This is even more meaningful as David Hawk's "Hidden Gulag" (2003) was the first report published by HRNK. In his latest report, Hawk details efforts by many UN member states and by the UN’s committees, projects and procedures to promote and protect human rights in the DPRK. The report highlights North Korea’s shifts in its approach
South Africa’s Apartheid and North Korea’s Songbun: Parallels in Crimes against Humanity by Robert Collins underlines similarities between two systematically, deliberately, and thoroughly discriminatory repressive systems. This project began with expert testimony Collins submitted as part of a joint investigation and documentation project scrutinizing human rights violations committed at North Korea’s short-term detention facilities, conducted by the Committee for Human Rights
