In June, participants in our Law Academy for North Korean Escapees had the remarkable opportunity to step inside the South Korean Supreme Court. Walking through its historic halls and witnessing the solemnity of the courtroom served as a powerful reminder of the immense responsibility and dedication required to uphold the rights and freedoms of all individuals. It is a place where the past meets the present, and where decisions shape our future.

NKDB's Law Academy for North Korean Escapees was started in 2022 to help North Korean escapees understand judicial systems and their rights in South Korea. Victim participation is a crucial part of human rights work and the foundation of working to seek accountability. NKDB remains committed to documenting human rights violations in the DPRK, with the hope of one day achieving accountability and justice for all affected. This visit reinforces our dedication to fostering a deeper understanding of justice and the legal system among North Korean escapees.
