The overall human rights situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has not improved over the past decade and, in many instances, has degraded, bringing even more suffering to the population, a report published by the UN Human Rights Office on 12 September 2025 found.

Covering the period following the 2014 UN Commission of Inquiry, the latest findings point to the introduction of more laws, policies and practices that are subjecting citizens to increased surveillance and control in all parts of life.

“No other population is under such restrictions in today’s world,” the report concludes, pointing to the remarks of one escapee who recounted, "to block the people’s eyes and ears, they strengthened the crackdowns. It was a form of control aimed at eliminating even the smallest signs of dissatisfaction or complaint."

The report, A/HRC/60/58, was mandated by the Human Rights Council for presentation at its 60th session (8 September-8 October 2025).
