Zusammenfassung:"This utilizes a unique international law perspective to examine the actions and inactions of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in regard to international security and human rights concerns in North Korea. The book will demonstrate how the two issues of nuclear weapons and the human rights abuses in North Korea are interconnected and why the international community should be applying the same international law framework to each to find a solution for both. The book analyses the North Korea's nuclear weapons situation from political, military, historical and legal angles examining the DPRK's policy objectives involving international security and Korean unification. The book goes on to explore the human rights abuses inflicted on the North Korean people by their own government and which include extermination, torture, and crimes of association, as well as collective retribution inside and outside its system of concentration camps.
