The third cycle of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of the DPRK was held in Geneva on May 9, 2019. In preparation of the UPR, NKHR sent a joint NGO submission to the UN with Conectas Human Rights. It contains information on the situation of women’s rights in the DPRK and assesses the implementation of recommendations accepted by the North Korean government during the previous UPR sessions. The submission also includes recommendations for the third cycle of the UPR regarding activities of the Ministry of State Security (MSS/secret police) and MSS-operated pre-trial detention centers, lack of women’s rights awareness and civil society organizations, and economic violence against women.
