On the 10th anniversary of the 2014 UN Commission of Inquiry report on the situation of human rights in the DPRK, the advocacy community for North Korean human rights continues to grapple with the complex challenge of achieving accountability for grave human rights violations committed by the DPRK. Criminal prosecution remains constrained, leading advocates to pursue non-judicial strategies for accountability in tandem, such as truth-seeking, documentation, commemoration, and reparative initiatives to address the needs of victims of North Korean human rights abuses. This article (1) reviews the current status and challenges of litigation efforts against the DPRK leadership; (2) examines non-judicial accountability in terms of remedies and reparations under international human rights law; and (3) analyzes how reparative measures are applied by various stakeholders to support victims of North Korean human rights crimes.
