North Korea Human Rights Watch (NKHRW) is an organization based upon the virtue of compassion.  

Welcome

North Korea Human Rights Watch (NKHRW) believes that the single most valuable tool in the fight against human rights abuses in North Korea is education. We have determined that student groups have an innate resilience and the necessary energy to advocate for human rights in North Korea. 


NKHRW strives to provide compassionate guidance and opportunities to North Korean defectors through creative educational programming and cultural exchange in the United States.

What are Human rights? (OHCHR)

Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.


Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law , general principles and other sources of international law. International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.
