1. Trends in International Human Rights
2. Evaluating North Korean Human Rights
3. The Needs and Direction for Korea Human Right
The notion of Korea human rights did not come from me alone. Upon the attempt by the George W. Bush Administration to enact the “North Korean Freedom Act of 2003,” several peace and human rights scholars and activists within South Korea met regularly. I myself attended those meetings. The North Korean Freedom Act of 2003 claimed that North Korean human rights can be improved through regime change. Due
to strong opposition from within the U.S. and South Korea, the act was not approved and the “North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004” was enacted instead. At the time, we were firm that the priority should be improving North Korean human rights in the most peaceful and realistic manner. We also agreed that it would be important to have North Korea’s participation
in this process and inter-Korean cooperation. We called this “Korean Peninsula Human Rights.” From that time on, I have maintained that view and explored specific strategies for developing a framework. Although this book is based on the Korean book titled Korea Inkwon-Bukhan Inkwon-kwa Hanbando Pyeonghwa (Korea Human Rights-Human Rights in North Korea and Peace on the Korean Peninsula, 2011), but it is extended
into new version reflecting new findings and more analysis.
