Check here for the main web page for the North Korea Human Rights Summit sponsored by the Regent law school Center for Global Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law. The Summit begins Friday evening, November 1 with a screening of Crossing, a Korean film based on a true story
that highlights the difficulty of life in North Korea and the plight
of North Korean refugees. The program continues Saturday morning with a panel discussion "highlighting what is taking place inside North Korea's labor camps,
other human rights abuses in North Korea, the plight of North Korean
refugees, the difficulty in formulating a comprehensive foreign policy
to protect the refugees, and suggestions for involvement in North
Korean human rights advocacy."
Like the previous Endangered Gender symposium addressing the issue of sex-selective abortion, parts of the Summit on North Korea will be uncomfortable to watch and even hear discussed. Yet what is happening in North Korea is certainly among the greatest--if not the greatest--systematic abuses of human rights in the world today.
