    Development Report 2003/04 North North Korea Development Report 2003/04 Korea North Korea Development Report As a result of North Korea’s isolation from the outside world, international communities know little about the status of the North Korean economy and its management mechanisms. Although Recently, a few recent changes in North Korea’s economic system have attracted international interests, but there is much confusion remains as to the characteristics of North Korea’s recent policy changes and its future direction due to the lack of information. Therefore, in order to increase the 2003/04 understanding of readers in South Korea and abroad, KIEP is releasing The North Korea Development Report in both Korean and English. The motivation behind this report stemmed from the need for a comprehensive and systematic investigation into North Korea’s socio-economic conditions, while presenting the current status of its industrial K sectors and inter-Korean economic cooperation. The publishing of this second volume K Y is important because it not only supplements the findings of the first edition, but also Y M updates the recent changes in the North Korean economy. The topics in this report M C include macroeconomics and finance, industry and infrastructure, foreign economic C relations and inter-Korean economic cooperation, social welfare and science & technology. This report also covers the ‘July 1 Economic Reform’ launched two years ago and subsequent changes in the economic management system.

  • General Assembly Security Council Sixty-Ninth Session Sixty-Ninth Year Agenda Item 68 Promotion and Protection of Human Rights
    United Nations A/69/383–S/2014/668 General Assembly Distr.: General 15 September 2014 Security Council Original: English General Assembly Security Council Sixty-ninth session Sixty-ninth year Agenda item 68 Promotion and protection of human rights Letter dated 15 September 2014 from the Permanent Representative of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General I have the honour to transmit herewith a copy of the report of the Association of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) for Human Rights Studies issued on 13 September 2014 (see annex). The report reflects the efforts exerted by the DPRK to protect and promote human rights in the DPRK and lay bare the false nature of the reckless anti-DPRK “human rights” racket kicked up by the hostile forces. The report also clarifies the efforts and stand of the DPRK on international cooperation for promoting human rights. Consistent is the stand of the DPRK to have genuine dialogue and cooperation in the field of human rights and contribute to promoting human rights in the world. The DPRK has never opposed dialogue on human rights, but maintained the stand to have a candid exchange of views with the countries truly concerned about the human rights issue. The report will help set right the wrong views by widely introducing the DPRK’s human rights policies and situation and contribute to promoting genuine cooperation in the field of human rights. The DPRK will continue to exert its utmost efforts to foil the anti-DPRK human rights campaign of the hostile forces and meet all their challenges, step up peaceful economic construction, steadily improve the people’s standard of living and thus provide the people with better conditions for enjoying their rights.
