The article focuses on North Korea's human rights situation. The United Nations Human Rights Commission is seeking to adopt a resolution on North Korea's human rights situation. There are indications that the Korean government may abstain from voting on the resolution. Korea's likely abstention has reportedly been influenced by its desire to not offend the North Korean regime. If a repressive regime perpetrates serious human rights violation against its people, the international community is obliged to intervene to deter such abuses.
