ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which is neither democratic, for the people, nor a republic. Satellite photos of the Korean peninsula reveal the South lit up like a Christmas tree while the North is a dark void, blending in almost seamlessly with the night. The government abysmally fails to fulfill the rights of the North Korean people. Whether civil, political, economic, social or cultural, the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) have been repeatedly violated. North Korea also commits genocide, a jus cogens or peremptory law offense that applies always to everyone. This genocide happens against all who are not completely of Korean descent and are Christians. The fact that the US government has recently committed to providing the means to flood the DPRK with information countering the massive propaganda that pervades the country should make a massive difference.
