Movement Organizations
The NKDB Unified Human Rights Database was developed through the systematic categorization of human rights violations in North Korea based on the categories established by HURIDOCS. NKDB has reorganized the categorization of HURIDOCS to better reflect the unique situation in North Korea. As the HURIDOCS system is built upon international legal mechanisms such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, our database and categorization system also reflects these international human rights mechanisms.
