북한인권시민연합 Citizens' Alliance for North Korean Human Rights (NKHR)

Founded in Seoul in 1996, NKHR is the world’s first NGO dedicated to advancing human rights in North Korea. Through international conferences, advocacy with UN bodies, and public awareness campaigns, NKHR raises global awareness about North Korean human rights violations, including enforced disappearances of South Koreans. The organization's distinctive focus on both domestic and international efforts makes it a key player in promoting legal accountability for human rights abuses.
