Do you think the U.S. should ignore the human rights problem even all countries know North Korea has violation of human rights? According to the article called “New Steps for Human Rights In North Korea”, “After the release of the report of the United Nations commission of inquiry on human rights in North Korea (COI) in February 2014, the world can no longer deny the severity of Pyongyang's human rights crisis”(Enos). This quote shows that the U.S. already know North Korean people do not have good human rights. The one example of violation of human rights is camp where political prisoners forced to go. There was one woman works very slow, the officer was furious with her slow working. Therefore, she “was ordered to sit on her knees on the …show more content…
should support North Korean defector’s life and people that live in North Korea’s food. According to the site called “The committee for Human Rights in North Korea”, I think the U.S. should support North Korea's food because “Under the regime’s military first policies, food supplies are known to be withheld from those that need it most and provided to those who are categorized as loyal or useful to the regime”(About). If the U.S. can support food, probability of people’s death from starvation will decrease.

and they also might use nuclear weapon or missile to attack Japan, South Korea, or other countries. In addition, if North Korea is collapse, the the absorption of millions of people is inevitable. “If North Korea were to collapse, as many as 3.65 million North Koreans could seek to resettle in South Korea. Such a large-scale humanitarian crisis would threaten the stability of South Korea, unless a comprehensive assimilation plan was created well in advance” (Enos). This is two reasons that it is a dangerous to criticize north Korea.
Although it is dangerous to criticize them, the U.S. should solve this human rights problem because “It is also in the U.S. national security interest to address human rights challenges in North Korea”(Enos). The reason is if the administration of North Korea is collapse, they could lose control of nuclear weapons. Therefore, the U.S., Japan, South Korea, and other countries do not need to worry about it.
In the end, the U.S. should do strategic dialogues with North Korea and solve the human rights problem although it is dangerous to criticize them. The reason why the U.S.should do this is “As a global leader on human rights, the U.S. has a moral responsibility to confront human rights challenges in North Korea”

    In the real world, for example, modern-day North Korea, corrupt governments often deliver false information and hide government plans from their citizens. The lack of government transparency violates basic human rights because people have the right to know what is happening in the world around them.
