The issue of north korea for the longest time was really a single issue, the Security Threat and Security Threat as it related to Nuclear Weapons. Then in good part thanks to the u. N. Commission of inquiry and Commission Members for about two years ago a report was issued that created a ground swell of interest of human rights abuses in the dprk. This movement is real. It has traction and it has results. And it will continue to do so into the future. But for each of
And some of it have to do with real and substantive issues that have created a sense of a disunited government and not a unity government. It was supposed to be a political marriage, of sorts in the modern sense. One side is playing a very traditional role in this marriage. Traditional in the afghaneastern context. Trying to dominate, trying to push, trying to impose. The other side again in the eastern sense accommodate, the flexible, to that extent possible, given its own political limitations. You have to realize that this is not just a marriage between parties or factions or individuals that fought in the elections. They are made up of a conglomerate, each one. So this is very difficult to handle. We did try to bring everyone under the tent, with very few upset with very few exceptions. Issue.

Alternatives that are there. Senator crapo. The private sector markets are contracting. Im concerned that this reduces student bar options.

King, if i can. Ambassador, youve done a commendable job representing the north korean human rights portfolio. I also recognize the difficulties you face since the administration doesnt make the human rights issue in my view enough of a top priority. I think it best a secondtier issue behind nuclear proliferation. Even if its given sometimes lip service by calling it a top priority and constant focus. As such im disappointed that following the release of the u. N. Commission of inquiry report, in my view little has been done. No human rights sanctions no executive orders, and no move for a vote in the Security Council. Ambassador king, can you tell us what is being done at this time to hold north korea accountable for the mass atrocities described in that report . I mean it was a horrific thing to read. And why theres been so Little Movement since the reports release. And then also, are you aware that there are three americans currently detained in pyongyang and im deeply concerned par
