초록

The continuing infringements of human rights in North Korea due to the totalitarian rule and inefficiency of the regime represent ‘‘a consistent pattern of gross and reliably attested violations of human rights.’’ Thus, we can predict North Korea’s future human rights conditions by examining the durability and diversity of the human rights policies adopted by Asia’s communist states in their post-Stalinist or post-totalitarian stage when undertaking open and reform policies. Supposing that social control becomes ineffective, a continuing dynamic equilibrium will be secured through the reorganization of social institutions, where the existing ones have ceased to function. Such a situation will obviously pose a serious threat to the existing political regime. Thus, to protect their regime, the North Korean leaders will further violate the human rights of their people. Therefore, one of the most effective policy responses would be to induce the North Korean authorities to connect with international human rights protection systems without causing any immediate threat to the long-term stability of the North Korean regime. Accordingly, the current study examines possible forms of multilateral talks on North Korean human rights issues and relevant strategies that may induce North Korea’s participation.

Abstract

The continuing infringements of human rights in North Korea due to the totalitarian rule and inefficiency of the regime represent ‘‘a consistent pattern of gross and reliably attested violations of human rights.’’ Thus, we can predict North Korea’s future human rights conditions by examining the durability and diversity of the human rights policies adopted by Asia’s communist states in their post-Stalinist or post-totalitarian stage when undertaking open and reform policies. Supposing that social control becomes ineffective, a continuing dynamic equilibrium will be secured through the reorganization of social institutions, where the existing ones have ceased to function. Such a situation will obviously pose a serious threat to the existing political regime. Thus, to protect their regime, the North Korean leaders will further violate the human rights of their people. Therefore, one of the most effective policy responses would be to induce the North Korean authorities to connect with international human rights protection systems without causing any immediate threat to the long-term stability of the North Korean regime. Accordingly, the current study examines possible forms of multilateral talks on North Korean human rights issues and relevant strategies that may induce North Korea’s participation.
