Garry Kasparov leads coalition concerning North Korean Human Rights

An international coalition has been launched to raise awareness about the North Korean human rights bill. This bill has been stalled in the South Korean parliament for a decade now. Global Topspeaker Garry Kasparov is leading this international coalition which includes famous and highly recognized democracy activists, politicians, scientists and business men. 

Garry Kasparov as Chairman of the Human Rights Foundation is the perfect person to lead these activities. The issue is extremely important and highly sensitive: If signed into law, the North Korean Human Rights Act would establish a human rights monitoring and documentation program inspired by the East German transition; launch a campaign to educate the South Korean people about the human rights situation in North Korea; send humanitarian aid to the North Korean people; dramatically increase the flow of information into the isolated North by mandating financial support for the civil society groups that carry out this work from South Korea; and create high-level positions in the South Korean government - at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Unification - dedicated to promoting human rights in North Korea.

“Our coalition aims to unite all efforts to get this long overdue bill approved, and provide moral and material support to those willing to make changes,” Global Topspeaker Kasparov said.

Global Topspeakers wish Former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov all the best for this important international task.
