Return as Co-sponsor After 5 Years

The South Korean government announced on the 14th that it has decided to participate as a co-sponsor of the UN North Korean Human Rights Resolution. This marks South Korea's first participation as a co-sponsor since 2019, a gap of five years.

A government official stated, "We made this decision for the substantial improvement of North Korean residents' human rights," adding, "We will work with the international community to improve the human rights situation in North Korea."

Strengthening International Cooperation on Human Rights

The UN North Korean Human Rights Resolution is adopted annually at the UN General Assembly and condemns systematic and widespread human rights violations in North Korea. South Korea participated as a co-sponsor for 11 consecutive years from 2008 to 2018 but abstained from 2019 citing considerations for inter-Korean relations.

This decision is evaluated as demonstrating South Korea's willingness to join international concerns about North Korean human rights issues and promote universal human rights values.
