King led efforts to ensure that human rights were an integral part of U.S. policy with North Korea. In this book, he traces U.S. involvement and interest in North Korean human rights, from the adoption of the North Korean Human Rights Act in 2004-legislation which King himself was involved in and which called for the creation of the special envoy position to his - own negotiations with North Korean diplomats over humanitarian assistance, discussions that would ultimately end because of the death of Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un's ascension as Supreme Leader, as well as continued nuclear and missile testing. Beyond an in-depth overview of his time as special envoy, Ambassador King provides insights into the United Nations' role in addressing the North Korean human rights crisis, including the UN Human Rights Council's creation of the UN Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in the DPRK in 2013-14, and discussions in the Security Council on North Korea human rights. King explores subjects such as the obstacles to getting outside information to citizens of one of the most isolated countries in the world; the welfare of DPRK defectors, and how China has both abetted North Korea by returning refugees and enabled the problem of human trafficking; the detaining of U.S. citizens in North Korea and efforts to free them, including King's escorting U.S. citizen Eddie Jun back from Pyongyang in 2011; and the challenges of providing humanitarian assistance to a country with no formal relations with the United States and where separating human rights from politics is virtually impossible."--Publisher's description 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The North Korea Human Rights Act -- Drinking from the fire hose -- Negotiations on humanitarian food aid, 2011-12 -- The United Nations role in North Korean human rights -- The free flow of information -- U.S. citizens detained in North Korea -- "Defectors": leaving the North and resettlement -- Humanitarian engagement with North Korea -- The North Korean Human Rights Act redux. 610 10 $a United States. $t North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004. 610 10 $a United States. $t North Korean Human Rights Reauthorization Act of 2008. 610 10 $a United States. $t North Korean Human Rights Reauthorization Act of 2017. 610 20 $a United Nations. $b Commission on Human Rights. 610 27 $a United Nations. $b Commission on Human Rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00536752 650 0 $a Human rights $z Korea (North) 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 651 7 $a Korea (North) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01214151 710 2 $a Walter H.
