By revealing the truth, HRNK is applying pressure not only to the totalitarian regime of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea but the international community at large to effect real change. HRNK’s ultimate goal is to close North Korean gulags, open the borders so citizens can leave the country, and provide access to information throughout North Korea, including breaking the information blockade and preventing widespread access to media and news. We aim to bring about real and substantial change to the policies that obstruct the human rights of every North Korean citizen.
The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea is an advocacy and research organization with a primary aim to educate and advocate for the North Korean people and uncover human rights abuses under the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
We are a group of a distinguished group of foreign policy and human rights specialists with decades of combined experience fighting for human rights.
