Going into my research, I had heard nothing but bad things about the human rights situation in North Korea, so I assumed that there was no form of Charter in place.]]> 2017-11-10 14:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205687960 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205689806 To my surprise, North Korea does in fact have a constitution that outlines many rights we have here in Canada today. This Constitution was put in place in 1972, and later amended in 1998. The constitution was for the most part inspired by the constitution of the Soviet Union.]]> 2017-11-10 14:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205689806 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205693910 The Constitution of North Korea is quite thorough. It outlines many rights and freedoms that North Koreans should expect and while it does differ from Canada's Charter, in that it also outlines certain duties or expectations of the citizens of North Korea, that we do not expect in Canada, the constitution of North Korea would do an excellent job of protecting the citizens of North Korea from being abused by the government, if it were remotely protected, or respected.  Instead, the rights of North Koreans outlined in the constitution are constantly violated.  Instead of protecting the rights in the constitution, the dictatorship chooses to protect another document, titled: the "Ten Principles for the Establishment of a Monolithic Ideological System".]]> 2017-11-10 14:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205693910 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205698014 http://www2.law.columbia.edu/course_00S_L9436_001/North%20Korea%20materials/10%20principles%20of%20juche.html ]]> 2017-11-10 14:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205698014 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205698795 This Document does not protect the citizens of North Korea.  This document only outlines the power of the reigning dictator of North Korea.  As a matter of fact, there is not a single principle in the document that does not mention Kim Il-Sung.  It is because of this document, and the power it gives the dictatorship, that the citizens of North Korea have no rights.]]> 2017-11-10 14:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205698795 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205775086 2017-11-10 17:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205775086 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205849907 2017-11-11 02:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205849907 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205850090 2017-11-11 02:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205850090 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205850118 “The People's Challenges.” Liberty in North Korea, www.libertyinnorthkorea.org/learn-nk-challenges/.

In my research, I learned that those who oppose Kim Jong-Un's rule are met with what the UN describes as "Unspeakable Atrocities", and when they say "Unspeakable", they aren't lying. There was quite a bit of information that the UN would not describe, and I can only assume that that is because some of the things going on in North Korea are worse than I can imagine. Earlier in the year, we were asked "at what point should the UN intervene if human rights are being violated?" I believe that the United Nations would have put a stop to the dictatorship in North Korea a long time ago if it weren't for the threat of war.]]> 2017-11-11 02:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205850207 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205850557 2017-11-11 02:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/a3ckjkw48jh/wish/205850557
