Government Information on Refugees: North Korean Refugees

This hearing involves testimonies that examine the efforts of the U.S. and international community at large to meet the nutrition and political safety needs of North Korean refugees who have fled to China.

This hearing evaluates U.S. media presence in North Korea and China, while focusing on human rights violations and what more can be done for humanitarian assistance.

The G.A.O. provides recommendations for increasing efficiency and granting asylum to those North Korean refugees who have gone through the entire legal process.

During the time of North Korea's communistic government, many of its citizens have taken refuge in nearby China. However, the Chinese government returns many of these refugees back to their home country. This hearing evaluates the humanitarian concerns brought about by potential threats to human life and a lack of protection for the refugees.
