Please join the CSIS Korea Chair for a discussion with Ambassador Robert R. King on his new book, Patterns of Impunity: Human Rights in North Korea and the Role of the U.S. Special Envoy. As the U.S. special envoy for North Korean human rights from 2009 to 2017, Ambassador King led efforts to ensure that human rights were an integral part of U.S. policy with North Korea. In Patterns of Impunity, he provides an in-depth overview of his time as special envoy and traces U.S. involvement and interest in North Korean human rights. This event will also feature Roberta Cohen, Co-Chair emeritus of the Board of Directors of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK) and Ji Seong-ho, member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea.
