3. Q&A

Q. The Ministry explained that it will be inspecting 25 government-registered civic organizations – what was the standard for selection?

A. Based on annual performance reports submitted by civic groups, the Ministry selected groups with insufficient reports and/or submitted material.

Q. So is it wrong to say that the selection was made with a focus on North Korean human rights groups and groups run by North Korean defectors?

A. All civic organizations registered to the Ministry will be subject for inspection. However, as the process asks for a considerable amount of administrative manpower, we will begin with groups concerning North Korean human rights and settlement support for North Korean defectors. We will expand the inspections to organizations in other areas of interest in the future.
