President. I am pleased that the Senate is considering H.R. 5834. a bill to reauthorize the North Korea Human Rights Act. The act underscores U.S. concern about the poor human rights conditions inside North Korea and the difficulties faced by thousands of North Koreans who have fled the country and become refugees. I support this bill because I believe our Governments approach to North Korean human rights and refugee issues must be seamlessly integrated into a coherent strategy that promotes regional peace and stability. advances core U.S. national security interests by verifiably eliminating North Koreas pursuit of nuclear weapons. and step by step encourages North Korea to adhere to international norms in the areas of human rights. security. and trade. It is essential that the United States reach out and begin a dialogue with North Korea on issues related to basic human rights. Four years ago.
