Advocating for South Koreans sentenced in DPRK

On 8 April 2024, the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), PeaceCorea, and the Korea Evangelical Fellowship (KEF) submitted a joint report to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations (UN), ahead of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

The UN Human Rights Council in Geneva is where human rights violations around the world are considered. One of the processes is called Universal Periodic Review. The HRC evaluates every country over a 4 year period. The WEA contributes written submissions to highlight religious persecution as part of this process. It is an opportunity to have global attention focused on violations of religious freedom.
