Today’s blog is going to be on North Korea’s long history of
Human Rights violations. Korea used to
be a peaceful country. Then in the 1950s, Korea split into 2 countries; the
north and the south. It was a civil war between the communists of the north and
the democrats of the south. In the present day the United Nations formed a
commission recently to take a good hard look at North Korea’s past human rights
violations. It is long overdue. For years since World War Two and the Cold War,
North Korea has threated the United States and other nations with nuclear
warfare but there are other forms of human rights violations in North Korea. North Korea has also violated the human rights
of its citizens. One such example is men from North Korea and Japan being sent
to political work camps where they starve, works hard, and is tortured with
just about every possible form of torture. North Korea’s government needs to
change their ways because right now they are a bad stench in every nations’
nose. I do hope that the commission will
help North Korea change their ways. However, not everyone thinks the same way
about human rights and that’s sad. I do believe that if the commission and the
North Korean government are open and willing to help improve human rights laws
and abides by them then it could be a little more peaceful for the global
economy and the global politics that govern it.
