It is evident that widespread and systematic human rights violations in the DPRK continue unabated. On this 10th anniversary of the Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in the DPRK, we are reminded that perpetrators remain largely unaccountable, and the suffering of the North Korean people, as vividly described today, persists.

The violations of human rights in North Korea cannot be separated from the threat the country poses to international peace and security. The authorities in the DPRK continue to divert resources away from their people to fund illegal weapons programs. These programs are often financed through forced labor, including the exploitation of workers sent overseas under conditions akin to modern slavery. It is imperative that the DPRK ends these practices without delay, and that all UN Member States fully implement resolution 2397, which includes obligations to cease the exploitation of overseas workers.

Additionally, we are witnessing forced repatriations, state-sponsored abductions, and enforced disappearances. The suffering of those abducted and their families must be recognized, and we call for their immediate return. We also echo the High Commissioner’s call for all member states to respect the principle of non-refoulement, ensuring that those who escape the DPRK are not forcibly returned to face further persecution.

The 2014 Commission of Inquiry concluded that the wide-ranging human rights violations in North Korea might constitute crimes against humanity. Ten years later, the DPRK continues to refuse cooperation with international human rights bodies. We strongly urge the government of North Korea to prioritize the rights of its citizens over its illegal weapons programs and to engage with the international community during its upcoming Universal Periodic Review to implement lasting and meaningful improvements for its people.

Recent developments have further underscored the security threat posed by North Korea. On Monday, the DPRK attempted to launch a military satellite. Although the launch failed, it remains a clear violation of this Council’s resolutions and recklessly endangered civilians, as missile debris fell into territorial waters. The next day, the DPRK launched eighteen short-range ballistic missiles, the highest number in a single event, again in violation of multiple resolutions.

The continued inaction of this Council in the face of such blatant violations only emboldens further aggression. Some have argued that reducing scrutiny will ease tensions, but this approach has clearly failed. Blocking meaningful action has led to greater instability in the region and has undermined the rules that maintain global security.

Moreover, reports that foreign technicians may have assisted North Korea with its space program are deeply disturbing. The use of North Korean missiles in other conflicts only adds to the complexity and danger of the situation. Undermining the global non-proliferation regime and the authority of this Council poses significant risks to all.

The ongoing military activities in the DPRK, conducted at great cost to the population, continue to deepen the humanitarian crisis. We call on North Korea to cease further provocations, reopen its borders to international assistance, and abandon its nuclear and ballistic missile programs in a complete, verifiable, and irreversible manner.

Finally, we urge all members of this Council to address these threats with the seriousness they demand and to uphold our collective commitment to global peace and security.

Thank you.
