The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK) is a U.S.-based, bipartisan non-governmental organization focused on research and advocacy related to human rights abuses in North Korea. Established in 2001 and headquartered in Washington, DC, HRNK aims to raise international awareness and inform policy discussions by producing in-depth analysis and reports, including influential works that have shaped coverage of North Korean detention, trafficking, abductions, and prison camps. The organization pursues engagement with policymakers, opinion leaders, and the public to draw attention to the plight of more than 20 million North Koreans. HRNK operates within the research services sector and maintains a presence through publications and testimony, including contributions to findings by the UN Commission of Inquiry on North Korea, while also providing expert testimony before the U.S. Congress. A recent development noted is the appointment of Alexander (Alex) Kim as Director of Operations, signaling continued organizational leadership from its Washington, DC base.
