UN envoy proposes new system for monitoring North Korean human rights

The U.N. special envoy for North Korean human rights has proposed almost 50 indicators to track Pyongyang’s compliance with its human rights commitments, calling for greater efforts to hold the country accountable for violations.

In an advance, unedited copy of her report to the U.N. Human Rights Council’s ongoing 61st session, special rapporteur Elizabeth Salmón urged stronger monitoring and implementation of recommendations made under the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), a process in which U.N. member states examine each other’s human rights records every four and a half years.
