“…It also includes the dissemination of leaflets and DVDs from South Korea by political and humanitarian activists, using methods, such as hot air balloons (Lee, 2011). Another source of exposure is foreign media organizations, such as Radio Free Asia and Voice of America, as well as defector organizations such as Free North Korea Radio and Open Radio for North Korea, which broadcast anti-regime messages into the country (Chubb, 2014). An additional conduit to the outside world is the first-hand experiences of North Korean workers who have interacted with Chinese and South Korean people as part of cross-border trade, as well as those workers who have laboured alongside South Koreans in shared factories at the border.…”

The Trump administration has declared its determination to resolve the problems posed by North Korea, but a full-scale military intervention would impart a terrible human cost and could ignite a global war. One alternative that might meet the objectives of the USA would be the collapse of the North Korea regime through a domestic uprising. Claims that the regime is teetering on the brink of self-implosion have been made for decades; yet, there has been no popular rebellion to date and this article argues that the prospect of one occurring in the foreseeable future remains remote. Numerous factors exist in North Korea that ought, according to conventional theories of rebellion, to push the population to rebel, including public grievances, opportunities for private gain and regime vulnerability. These drivers are suppressed by the Kim Jong-un regime, however, through the use of isolation, propaganda, deterrence and prevention, which combine to make rebellion extremely improbable. Despite a major military invasion being impractical and the likelihood of a domestic uprising occurring being markedly low, a number of policy alternatives do exist for the Trump administration. Nevertheless, there are no easy answers with North Korea and each course of action possesses significant drawbacks and limitations.

acción colectiva. Las RT son dinámicas y han logrado trasnacionalizar sus vínculos mediante la alineación selectiva de sus reclamos a las normas internacionales de derechos humanos manteniendo la grieta que divide los marcos cognitivos desde los cuales pensar el acercamiento entre ambas Coreas. Esta investigación se sustenta en un estudio de caso cualitativo con triangulación de fuentes basado en documentos y estadísticas oficiales, análisis de las redes sociales y entrevistas a reconocidos activistas.

Human Rights Diffusion in North Korea: The Impact of Transnational Legal Mobilization

This article asks how legal mechanisms are employed outside of North Korea to achieve human rights diffusion in the country; to what extent these result in human rights diffusion in North Korea; and whether measures beyond accountability can be pursued in tandem for more productive engagement. Specifically, it examines how the North Korean government has interacted with the globalized legal regime of human rights vis-à-vis the UN and details the legal processes and implications of the UN Commission of Inquiry report, including domestic legislation, and evidence collection. While transnational legal mobilization has gathered momentum on the accountability side, it is significantly weaker in terms of achieving human rights protection within North Korea given the government’s perception of current human rights discourse as part of an externally produced war repertoire. Thus, efforts to engage the North Korean population and government require concurrent reframing of human rights discourse into more localized and relatable contexts.
