North Korean Human Rights

Oct 23, 2014 - President Bush met with leaders from the public and private sectors to discuss ways to advance the cause of human freedom in North Korea. Five North Korean refugees also shared their stories of escape and their experiences building new lives in the United States as a result of the 2004 North Korean Human Rights Act, which President Bush signed into law 10 years ago.

The gathering was part of a year-long, bipartisan Bush Institute effort to raise global attention to the human suffering in North Korea and identify additional steps the United States and other free societies can take to support the people of North Korea.
