Human Rights
[Refugee law] is about sharing obligations and protection—not about trying to get out of your obligations by moving somebody out of your line of sight.
"Articles of Responsibility of States or Internationally Wrongful Acts" adopted by the United Nations in 2001 show that a country can contract out the processing of refugees but cannot contract its international obligation.
North Korea is not having a civil war or internal turmoil [...] but it has what the UN is now recognizing its own kind of human rights crisis. It’s not a war, but it is tremendous crimes being committed in peace time, and they have been going on for decades.
