Introduction
.
On 21 March 2013, at its 22nd session, the United Nations Human Rights
Council established the Commission of Inquiry on human rights in the
Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK). Resolution A/HRC/RES/22/13
mandates the body to investigate the systematic, widespread and grave
violations of human rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea,
with a view to ensuring full accountability, in particular for violations
which may amount to crimes against humanity.
.
Among the violations to be investigated are those pertaining to the right
to food, those associated with prison camps, torture and inhuman
treatment, arbitrary detention, discrimination, freedom of expression, the
right to life, freedom of movement, and enforced disappearances, including
in the form of abductions of nationals of other States.
.
On 7 May 2013, the President of the Human Rights Council, Ambassador
Remigiusz A. Henczel (Poland), announced the appointment of Michael Donald
Kirby of Australia and Sonja Biserko of Serbia who will join Marzuki
Darusman, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the
Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, to serve as the members of the
Commission of Inquiry on human rights in the DPRK. Mr. Kirby will serve as
Chair of the three-person commission. The Commission of Inquiry is
supported by a team of nine experienced human rights officials comprising
the Secretariat.
.
In addition to establishing the Commission of Inquiry for one year, the
resolution also authorized a one-year extension of the mandate of the
Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Democratic
Peoples Republic of Korea, a post that was created in 2004 and currently
filled by Mr. Darusman. Through this decision the Council also urged the
Government of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea to ensure full,
rapid and unimpeded access of humanitarian assistance and for the
Government to cooperate fully with the Special Rapporteur and the
commission of inquiry.
.
The same resolution requested that the commission present an oral update
to the Human Rights Council at its twenty-fourth session in September 2013
and to the General Assembly at its sixty-eight session, and a written
report to the Council at its twenty-fifth session in March 2014.
.
From 1 to 5 July 2013, the Commission of Inquiry on human rights in the
DPRK began its operations in Geneva with key meetings that included a
number of diplomatic missions, UN agencies, scholars and NGOs. The
Commissioners also discussed the strategy, methodology and investigative
approach they will employ during their mandate. They have written twice
to DPRK representatives in Geneva to seek engagement in a spirit of
co-operation and transparency. The response has so far been negative, but
the Commissioners intend to continue to reach out to the Government of the
DPRK and to seek its cooperation, given assurances that representatives of
DPRK have previously given to the Human Rights Council that the DPRK
prioritizes human rights and honours the UN Charter and international
human rights instruments.
