The UK government notes the report of the All Party Parliamentary Group on North Korea Inquiry into Human Rights Violations in North Korea from 2014-2020, published on Tuesday 20 July. The UK remains extremely concerned by the human rights situation in North Korea, as G7 leaders made clear on 13 June, and G7 Foreign Ministers also stated on 5 May. We will review the Report's findings and recommendations and consider how the UK government can continue to address the appalling human rights situation in the country.
