2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Korean Air YS-11 abduction. North Korea has been committing crimes including the kidnapping of South Koreans, Japanese and people from other countries. However, North Korea's human rights issue was not taken seriously in the North-South summit in Singapore in 2018 and in the three summit talks between the two Koreas. On 17th of December, 2018, the United Nations passed a resolution condemning North Korea’s human rights record during a plenary session of the UN 73rd General Assembly in New York. The resolution was passed without a vote and marks the 14th consecutive year that the UN has approved a resolution calling attention to human rights violations in the DPRK. In the following report we intend to shed light on the abductions of South Koreans and foreign nationals by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) since the Korean War, focusing specifically on the case of the hijacked airplane KAL YS-11 in 1969. This report was created mainly to present this issue at the European Parliament in March 2019, the United Nations Human Rights Council session in the same month and at the 33rd Universal Periodic Review (UPR) for which the review of the DPRK is taking place in May 2019. It remains difficult to investigate the cases of abductions as the majority of them happened more than seven decades ago. This further complicates the issue and the efforts of those trying to seek clarification of what happened to their relatives. While there are some efforts from the South Korean and Japanese governments respectively, the current attempts fail to be effective. Furthermore, the international community has to work together and condemn the abductions at the hand of North Korea. They need to put pressure on the regime to release those remaining, or to at least inform about their well-being. These abductions remain to be an important issue in South Korea that prevents the two Koreas from moving forward and achieving peace. To raise awareness about this issue, we have prepared this booklet containing the history of abductions by North Korea while focusing on the hijacked airline case and presents legislative background to show options for actions.
