Washington, Oct 3 : South Koreas new envoy for North Korean human rights will make her first visit to the U.S.
this week since taking office, officials said Sunday.Lee Shin-hwa plans to meet officials of the State Department and the White House, as well as experts and activists, in Washington, D.C., during her four-day trip starting Wednesday to discuss various pending issues, including Pyongyangs nuclear threat and missile provocations.Lee, a Political Science Professor at Korea University, was appointed as the new envoy in July, filling a post that has been left vacant since September 2017.
North Koreas human rights record has drawn greater international attention since the U.N.Commission of Inquiry issued a report in 2014 after a year long probe, saying that North Korean leaders are responsible for "widespread, systematic and gross" violations of human rights.North Korea has long been accused of grave human rights abuses, ranging from holding political prisoners in concentration camps to committing torture and carrying out public executions.
Still, North Korea has bristled at outside criticism, calling it a U.S.-led attempt to topple its regime.int/kvd #SKorean #envoy #Koreas #nuke #threat #Washington #Washington # D.C.
