Rapporteur

Christian Solidarity Worldwide Chief Executive Mervyn Thomas, quoted in Christians welcome new UN rapporteur on North Korea:
    "The people of North Korea suffer under one of the most ruthless and repressive regimes in the world and it is high time the spotlight was focused on this unspeakable suffering.

    "In due time the international community will see the evidence of the extremes of inhumanity and barbarity that are inflicted on the people and, no doubt, wish it had acted sooner. After 50 years of rule, it is a welcome development to have an international monitor appointed and we hope this will encourage North Korea to finally move towards respecting international human rights law and basic principles of human dignity."
