This article is from Democracy Digest, the National Endowment for Democracy’s daily blog:

“President Moon’s failure to confront ongoing North Korean government atrocities in the gulags, and daily abuses against the North Korean people is morally irresponsible and strategically unsound,” said Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “Weakening pressure on Kim Jong Un only rewards his bad behavior and fails to improve the dismal human rights conditions in North Korea.”
