Inform North Korea’s Citizens
Because the North Korean people are so restricted in the information they receive about their own country and the world outside, the United States should continue to expand radio broadcasting into North Korea and encourage other efforts that provide information directly to the North Korean people in accordance with the NKHRA.
The United States should also make known to the North Korean people that their welfare is of great concern to the American people and that the North Korean government regularly restricts the U.S. and other nations from providing food aid and other supplies to them.
The administration should obtain additional funding from Congress to permit Radio Free Asia, Voice of America, and defector organizations to broadcast radio programs in North Korea, providing information on world news, developments in both North and South Korea, and material that shows the freedoms enjoyed by the people of South Korea and the rest of the world.
The United States government should use its good relations with neighboring countries to persuade them to provide locations and assistance for transmission facilities for medium-wave broadcasting in addition to the current short-wave broadcasting.
