SUMMARY:Peace on the Korean Peninsula as a human rights issue: war\, sanctions\, and women peacebuilders
DESCRIPTION:*Please note that as of 3 March and until the end of the session\, all side-events scheduled during the 43rd session of the Human Rights Council\, have been cancelled. * \nSide Event to the United Nations Human Rights Council\, 43rd session \nOverview \n2020 marks the 70th anniversary of the still unresolved Korean War\, an endless limbo that has perpetuated a worsening security and human rights crisis on the Korean Peninsula. Civil\, political and economic and social rights are all affected by the constant risk of military escalation\, the subordination of politics and law to military expediency\, the diversion of public funds to military priorities\, and the UN Security Council and unilateral sanctions imposed in the context of the nuclear standoff. The human rights crisis has been ongoing for decades despite repeated peace offers and opportunities\, and in recent years despite active scrutiny by the UN Human Rights Council of the situation in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). \nA global women-led campaign\, Korea Peace Now! Women Mobilizing to End the War (KPN) with Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF)\, and Commission of the Churches on International Affairs\, World Council of Churches (WCC) will organize a panel discussing the link between peace and human rights\, the impact of sanctions on human rights\, and the role of women peacebuilders in resolving the crisis. The event will include independent co-authors of the KPN-commissioned report “The Human Costs and Gendered Impact of Sanctions on North Korea\,” the first comprehensive assessment of the adverse consequences of sanctions for ordinary North Koreans. The event will take place ahead of an Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the DPRK and an HRC oral update on the DPRK at the 43rd session of the UNHRC. \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nPeter Prove\, World Council of Churches (Moderator).\nEwa Eriksson\, IFRC (retired).\nKevin Gray\, University of Sussex.\nYou-Kyoung Ko\, WILPF.\nHenri Feron\, Center for International Policy.\nTomas Ojea Quintana\, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the DPRK.
