As North Korea continues to advance its nuclear and missile capabilities, this event organized by the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, the Hoover Institution, and the National Endowment for Democracy examined the human rights situation in the country and explored how human rights issues may be elevated in future bilateral & multilateral interactions with Pyongyang. The discussion addressed some of the most pressing human rights issues in North Korea, as well as China’s role in aiding and abetting a regime that is committing crimes against humanity.
