Without Parallel: North Korean Human Rights and the Russia Axis

Join us for an event featuring a panel discussion refocusing attention on North Korean human rights by examining conditions at the Alabuga drone-production facilities in Russia. It will also mark the launch of a new joint CSIS–Bush Institute report analyzing the North Korean regime’s state-sponsored trafficking and how these drones are enabling and intensifying the unprovoked war in Ukraine. The report illustrates how China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea—collectively referred to as CRINK—are increasingly supporting one another and how CRINK cooperation challenges America’s leadership and the rules-based international order.

This event is co-hosted by CSIS and the George W. Bush Institute.
