As the Human Rights Council prepares in order in Sejernoj Korea in North Korea (DRK)), the UN has released very about report On the state of human rights in the country, once, justice, violated Kirby as a violation of human rights without “parallel in the modern world”. Over decades later the situation shows no signs of improvement. 5. September 2025. year, the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights (OHCHR), in the press briefing, presented their reports, surveyed 314 victims and witnesses who left North Korea and consulted with several organizations and experts to assess the situation since 2014. years. The report finds suggest that the situation is not improved in many cases deteriorated.

Among the collection of concern is the question of the death penalty is now widely used, it is permitted by law and conducted in practice before decades. The Death Penalty is widely used Against Senior Officials for Broadly Defined “Anti-State Acts,” For The Distribution of Unauthorized Media, Drugs and Economic Crimes, Prostitution, Pornography, Trafficking and Murder. The OHCHR indicated that he collected credible evidence that individuals were executed to share emissions online, which is considered to be a crime of “distribution at a certain level, foreign information, foreign media.” Public trials and execution is used to intelation of fear in population and as a deterrent.

New laws, policies and practices have enabled increased supervision and control over citizens in all parts of life, some of whom ended in forced labor camps, as political prisoners. As one escape told OHCHR: “To block folk eyes and ears, reinforcement strengthened. It was a form of control, which is eliminated even the smallest signs of dissatisfaction or appeal.” As a report find: “No other population under such restrictions in today’s world.”

It is said that forced labor has become deeply institutionalized over the past decade, through “forced mobilization in the prison system, in the army, in” shocking brigades “, in the neighboring units and other groups in the community, in the school system and among oversight workers.” They say that the authorities in Piongiang used thousand orphans and children of streets to work in coal mines and other environments in which they would be exposed to hazardous materials and debt working hours. In addition, school children work “throw” the work work work work work harvest instead of being in teaching. The unresents on death is often frequent; “However, not to provide health and safety measures, the government publicly celebrated death as the victim leader.”

In addition, the report explains that “hundreds of thousands of missing persons, including the abducted foreign nationals, remains unknown. Communication and remittance between separate families are now extremely difficult. Citizens are still exposed to the state.”

The report concludes that North Korea is far from compliance with its obligations under international law. In addition, as North Korea remains isolated, and more than any other country, monitoring human rights compliance is very challenging. For more than a decade later, most of the recommendations she made The Human Rights Research Commission in the democratic Republic of Korea (Exploration of the Commission), Presides Justice Kirby, not implemented. The responsibility for human rights violations is minimal, and the responsibility for international crimes remains non-existent. The Human Rights of the UN Volker Turk, commenting on the finds, said, “What we witnessed was the lost decade. And it hurts to say that if (North Korea)

It continues on the current path, the population will be subjected to more suffering, brutal repression and fear that they lasted so long. ”
