Seoul discusses policy blueprint to improve NK's human rights situation

South Korea's vice unification minister said Friday the government plans to map out a three-year blueprint to improve North Korea's human rights situation by taking into account its policy stance and the North's rights conditions.
Vice Unification Minister Kim Ki-woong made the remarks at an interagency meeting on North Korea's human rights situation to discuss ways to establish the Yoon Suk-yeol administration's first basic policy plan to enhance the North's rights conditions.
"We expect the establishment of the envisioned basic plan will help (the government) systemically pursue its policy (on the North's human rights) in a bid to improve the quality of North Korean people's lives and their human rights," Kim said.
He said the government will comprehensively take into account the universal value of human rights, the Yoon government's policy stance and rights situations in North Korea.
Under the North Korean Human Rights Act, which passed the National Assembly in 2016, the government should establish a basic plan to enhance the North's human rights situations every three years in a bid to outline its policy goals on the rights issues and help improve the North's rights conditions.
The latest meeting marked the second of its kind after the conservative Yoon government resumed such a gathering in August for the first time in more than two years in line with its proactive stance in dealing with the North's rights issues.
South Korea co-sponsored a U.N. draft resolution condemning North Korea's human rights conditions this year, in a shift from a low-key approach for four years under the preceding liberal Moon Jae-in government. (Yonhap)
