We were also joined by a Leverhulme scholar from St John’s College Oxford and a Legal Analyst from the Seoul-based NGO, the Transitional Justice Working Group. The presenters provided a range of new data gathered as part of their research into conditions in North Korea today. They discussed some of the challenges around monitoring events in North Korea, as well as the challenges associated with developing policy approaches aimed at addressing continuing violations of human rights. A number of students from the School of East Asian Studies and across the university joined us for the presentations and lively round of questions afterwards.
