Korea Future participates in OHCHR Accountability Workshop

Suyeon Yoo, Co-Director at Korea Future, attended a United Nations Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights Accountability Workshop. Human Rights Council resolutions 34/24 and 40/20 mandated the OHCHR to explore avenues for future accountability mechanisms for crimes against humanity being committed in North Korea. The High Commissioner for Human Rights will present a written report to the Human Rights Council on the implementation of the resolutions at its 46th session in March 2021. In this context, OHCHR Seoul hosted a discussion to take stock of the work undertaken so far by OHCHR on accountability for past and ongoing violations of human rights in North Korea. The seminar included discussion of future plans, as well as ideas and recommendations on how to advance this work.
