North Korea is a country that is ruled by a dictator and has a communist government. A communist government rules all the land and gives the same amount of money and supplies to all the people in the country. “Daily Necessities were obtained from the Public Distribution System (PDS)” (95,Hassig). The PDS shut down in 1995 because foreign aid was cut off expect for Pyongyang, the capital city. In rural areas, a lot of the children were born as “no-count” meaning that when they were born they weren’t counted as part of the existing society and didn’t have supplies given to them. North Korea was once a unified country with South Korea until September 9, 1948 when it became a separate country. From 1910 to 1945 Japan had ruled

North Korea as we know is a communist country ruled by Kim Jong-Un. North Korea has been under the State’s radar from the nuclear threats to their human rights. They spark United State’s interest once more when the previous leader passed away and the duty was passed to the youngest son and now we are trying to dig deeper into the secrets that North Korea has been hiding away with the their barred wire to keep others from coming in. With the help of South Korea, we can explore the different levels of torture, inhumane activates, and the new leadership of Kim Jong-Un.

The research has shed light on the corruption of the North Korean government and the reign of ruthless leaders such as Kim Il Sung and his son Kim Jong Il. The politics of North Korea have been questionable at best in the nation’s history. Finally they are making progress to renew laws that better fit into North Korean society, but the process is slow. Change does not come to North Korea quickly.

The government claims that citizens get the full amount of basic rights and claim that DPRK has the best rights in the world ( Federal Research Division, 172-175). Contrary to what they said, the DPRK is one of the most repressive governments on the face of the earth. Their constitution claims that they get freedom of religion, speech, press, and more ( 175-176). The North Korean government instead ignores every single word in their own constitution (United Nations Human Rights Council 3). The Supreme People’s Assembly meets only once a year ( Federal Research Division, 175-176). The current state of modern North Korea is based off the policy of aggression, fear, and governmental brainwashing. (Daily Mail Reporter). North Korean citizens can and will be placed in a labor camp if they do anything that goes against the regime (“North Korea”). Not only can North Korean citizens get placed in a labor camp for going against the regime, but foreigners can and will be placed in a labor camp for committing that crime, too (David Brunnstrom). In the North, the government boasts about many of their so-called achievements and superiority over the others.

This Human Rights violations may leads to human trafficking against North Korean people in South Korea or any place in the world.

North Korea’s regime has a tight grip on its citizens. The surveillance system is oppressive as well an invasion to the citizen’s human rights. But in North Korea the words “human rights” don’t exist, because the regime has such a harsh oppressive grip on them. There’s a stark contrast between the oppressive grip of North Korea and their bordering neighbor of South Korea because of their prison camps that are installed into their society. In comparison, North Korea is becoming eerily similar to the Soviet Union during Stalin’s reign.

North Korea has been a place of conflict both domestically and internationally since its establishment in 1948. Although most of the talk around the world is concerning how North Korea is a big threat to other countries, their internal troubles are far more catastrophic and costly. The main domestic problem that North Korea faces is the existence of concentration camps that are not for prisoners of war, but for their own people. These camps encourage the mistreatment of North Korean citizens, who are trapped in these societies defenselessly. The effects of these camps has, and will continue to be, detrimental to North Korean society. The establishment of political prison camps in North Korea has lead to constant dehumanization of their people,

The mid-1990s were marked by severe famine and starvation, causing several deaths. Tens of thousands of North Koreans cross into china every year to escape the harsh conditions, risking arrest, imprisonment, and deportation back to North Korea. It is a source country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor, forced marriage, and sex trafficking. The unemployment rate in 2013 was estimated to be at 25.6%.

The fundamental corruption of the North Korean government prevents its citizens from sustaining their livelihoods within the boundaries of the law. Therefore, it is not surprising that many citizens have to engage in the corruption and crime that surrounds them so that they can survive.

The North Korean government seeks to control every aspect the lives of their citizens which essentially takes away human rights. Rich or poor, North Koreans have this idea put in their

This is a country led by an individual who doesn’t have the country and its people’s best interests at heart. What he says goes, and this is a dangerous system as the rewards are low but risks high for society and the country as a cohesive unit. “Deadly attack dogs, kidnappings, public executions, starvation, thought-control, religious persecution and forced marriages. A new United Nations report reveals in grim detail how the North Korean government terrorizes its own people. It also declares the country’s young dictator, Kim Jong, guilty of crimes against humanity” (Smith). Kim Jong is a ruthless dictator who uses any means possible of oppression to subdue his people. The international community took a while to, but finally started to take action and labeled him as a criminal against

North Korea is under the rule of the Kim’s. Kim Jong-un is the supreme leader and is in charge of most major government activities. North Korea’s main focus is on Military and has priority above everything else. The North Korean military is one of the largest institutions, however the force is said to be weak because of the lack of nuclear weapons (nukes).

Laws there are extensive and have strict control over traveling, employment, food and

North Korea a country which was richer than its South Korean counterpart provided better services to its citizens fell in decay. A once former recipient of vital Soviet economic aid had now seen its former ally wither away and with that the aid was cut. The loss of Soviet Aid had hurt the North Korean food supply production, and natural disasters had made it even worse. The current crises ultimately lead Kim Jong Il to focus on a military first policy in which the armed forces would receive the first supply of food, products, and health services. The policy was a disaster for ordinary civilians who were dying at a rapid rate, statistics put the death toll around 300,000 to 3 million. To the surviving this led to forced cannibalism as there was no other option. Western governments were reluctant on providing aid to a dictatorship and North Korea’s former allies were in no mood to
