<p>Following the adoption of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)’s Universal
Periodic Review (UPR) report on 19 September 2014, the UK issued a statement via our
Mission in Geneva welcoming the DPRK’s engagement. We urged the DPRK to fulfil the
commitment made to respond to the 185 recommendations which it agreed to examine,
and to take concrete steps to implement all the UPR recommendations. We also noted
with regret that 83 UPR recommendations did not enjoy the support of the DPRK, particularly
those related to the findings of the UN Commission of Inquiry, co-operation with the
Special Rapporteur, the treatment of political prisoners and closure of political
prison camps.</p><p>We have made clear to the DPRK that the UK would be happy to provide
technical assistance or advice to the DPRK on any aspect of its human rights performance,
including for example information on the UK approach to our own UPR.</p><p> </p><p>
