ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine how helpful the U.N. resolution, recently passed, on North Korea`s human rights abuses for the peaceful unification of Korean Peninsular. The resolution condemning North Korea for human rights violations does not make a positive influence on the road to the unification. Whatever the real purpose is, North Korean regime’s active participation in several human rights treaties seems to indicate that there is a possibility that North Korean society may change in compliance with those international norms. Therefore, it is necessary that the South Korean government should help the North Korean government to improve conditions for North Korean’s human rights by itself instead of isolating North Korea from the international society by blaming North Korea`s human rights abuses. By doing so, the mutual trust between South and North will get recovered and it will strengthen the foundation for the peaceful unification of Korean Peninsular.
