Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the complex interplay between human rights and nuclear security in North Korea. It explores the challenges faced due to the country's widespread human rights violations and its nuclear ambitions. The authors discuss the role of international actors, including the United States and the United Nations, in addressing these issues. The book also analyzes the policies of past and current U.S. administrations, highlighting the varying emphasis on human rights as part of diplomatic strategies with North Korea. Intended for policymakers, scholars, and those interested in international relations, the book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the importance of integrating human rights into broader security discussions concerning North Korea.
