MEMBERS OF UN-MANDATED PROBE INTO HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN DPR KOREA ANNOUNCED
New York, May 7 2013 10:00AM
The President of the United Nations Human Rights Council today
announced the appointment of the members of the commission of inquiry
set up to investigate alleged abuses in the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea (DPRK).

The three-member commission will comprise Michael Donald Kirby, a
retired judge from Australia; Sonja Biserko, founder and president of
the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia; and Marzuki
Darusman, former Attorney General of Indonesia and the current UN
Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in DPRK.

Mr. Kirby will serve as Chair of the commission, which was established
by the Geneva-based Council in March, for a period of one year, to
investigate the "systematic, widespread and grave violations of human
rights" in DPRK in order to ensure full accountability, in particular
for violations which may amount to crimes against humanity.

High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay and several independent
UN human rights experts had been calling for an inquiry into serious
crimes that have been persistent in DPRK for decades.

According to a <"http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=13301&LangID=E">news
release on the appointments, the violations to be investigated include
those pertaining to the right to food, as well as with prison camps,
torture and inhuman treatment, arbitrary detention, discrimination,
freedom of expression, the right to life, freedom of movement, and
enforced disappearances, including in the form of abductions of
nationals of other States.

The 47-member Council had also urged Pyongyang to ensure full, rapid
and unimpeded access of humanitarian assistance and for the Government
to cooperate fully with the Special Rapporteur and the commission of
inquiry.

The commission has been requested to present an oral update to the
Council at its 24th session in September 2013 and to the General
Assembly at its 68th session, and a written report to the Council at
its 25th session in March 2014.
