| dc.description.abstract | In this work, the efficacy of international human rights mechanisms is evaluated in its protections and enforcement of rights for North Korean refugees attempting to reach asylum in South Korea. In studying the rights and protections offered to North Korean defectors on their journey to reach asylum, it is evident that compliance and enforcement of international human rights legislation protecting North Korean defectors is minimally enforced or regarded in the proceedings of the countries they pass through on their way to asylum. This frequently results in repatriation and exploitation of the group, especially in the wake of the 2019 Covid pandemic and the subsequent restrictions on freedom of movement enacted by countries within the region of Southeast Asia. | en_US |
