South Korea's former minister to North Korea, Rep. Tae, condemns the failure of a resolution against China's forced repatriation of North Korean defectors - South Korea

On the 22nd, Tae Yong-ho, North Korea's former minister to the UK and a member of South Korea's ruling party People's Power, announced that a resolution in the National Assembly calling for preventing the forced repatriation of North Korean defectors living in China was rejected. In contrast, “
It was an international embarrassment and ignored the heartbreaking tears of North Korean defectors whose families are still held in Chinese detention centers. "This is a dereliction of my duties as a member of the Diet," he said.
On the same day, at the bill subcommittee of the Foreign Affairs and Commerce Committee of the Diet, Representative Tai said that a resolution submitted by members of his own party in early October was approved by the largest opposition party, ``Commonwealth.
He criticized the fact that the bill was rejected due to opposition from the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ). The resolution urges the Chinese government to abide by the Convention Against Torture and the Refugee Convention and stop forced repatriation of North Korean defectors against their will.
was. Rep. Tae said, ``Some members of the Democratic Party have raised questions not about the content of the resolution, but about the detailed numbers, and about the refugee hearings for Korean illegal immigrants, which have nothing to do with the forced repatriation of North Korean defectors.
"He obstructed the progress of the proceedings by obsessing over the investigation materials." Furthermore, ``The international community is aware that the Chinese government forcibly repatriated several hundred of the more than 2,000 North Korean defectors in China in mid-October.''
This is a hard fact that the Chinese government does not deny, as it has been widely acknowledged in the report by Elizabeth Salmon, Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in North Korea."
He continued, ``On the 15th (local time), the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly also approved the third draft resolution on human rights in North Korea, which was revised based on the above report.
The resolution incorporates the country's stance against forced repatriation, and was passed without a vote by unanimous consent." against
It contains a very fundamental content that calls for an end to forced deportations. It is almost the same as the Chinese resolution to halt the forced deportation of North Korean defectors, which was already passed by the National Assembly in 2011.
He added, ``The United Nations General Assembly in December is expected to pass a North Korea resolution that calls for an end to the forced deportation of North Korean defectors from China.
I can't understand this kind of behavior from the Democratic Party, which has always said that it values human rights, even though it is as proactive as it was."
