<p>The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea's (DPRK) arbitrary use of violence against
its citizens, as documented in the UN Commission of Inquiry report, underlines the
brutality of the regime and its lack of respect for basic human rights. The Government
has made clear its concerns about the appalling human rights situation in North Korea,
directly with the regime and in international fora, including at the UN General Assembly
and the Human Rights Council.</p><p>The DPRK’s flagrant violation of UN Security Council
Resolutions and its continuing provocative behaviour is a clear threat to regional
stability and international security. The UN Security Council unanimously adopted
Resolution 2270 on 2 March 2016 in response to the DPRK’s nuclear test of 6 January
and satellite launch, using ballistic technology, of 7 February. The EU has implemented
additional measures.</p>
