North Korea’s human rights: What Trump and Kim won't talk about
3 June 2018

Amnesty has described the prison camps as "harsh beyond endurance", where detainees face torture and beatings by guards and women are left especially vulnerable to sexual coercion and abuse.

Not all those in prison have actually committed crimes. North Korea practices collective punishment, so if one member of a family is found guilty it's possible that their whole family gets punished.

North Korea makes liberal use of the death penalty and has been known to conduct public executions.

Avoiding the rights issue, he said, would send the "wrong message."

A 2014 United Nations report said the regime commits crimes against humanity including running prison camps, torturing its people and holding summary executions.

人権について問題提起したからといって、非核化できないわけでなく、北朝鮮の場合、人権弾圧と核開発は密接に関係しており、北朝鮮との交渉では、朝鮮の人たちの暮らしがよくなる方向に持っていかなくてはならない、人権問題を提起しないと、間違ったメッセージを送ることになるんだ、と。
