Another US funding cut threatens human rights in North Korea - and hands more power to a dictator

<https://theconversation.com/another-us-funding-cut-threatens-human-rights-in-north-korea-and-hands-more-power-to-a-dictator-251239>

"This week, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights in North
Korea issued an appeal to the international community. She expressed concern
about the future of civil society work on North Korean human rights.

The cause for alarm is a sudden freeze on the funds of the National Endowment
for Democracy (NED)- a US nongovernmental organisation.

One major beneficiary of funds from the NED are groups documenting and helping
to stop human rights abuses in North Korea.

The funding halt threatens to damage further the lives of people living under
one of the world’s most egregious authoritarian regimes."
