Preparing for transitional justice in North Korea/ Nazanin Zadeh-Cummings, Sarah Son & Danielle Chubb

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: 2022Subject(s): Online resources: In: Australian Journal of International Affairs Vol.76 Issue 2, April 2022, pp. 121-129 (36)Summary: The further isolation of North Korea in response to the Covid-19 pandemic is a timely reminder that when it comes to the question of how to bring about change with relation to North Korea, a combination of creative and differentiated approaches are needed. In this piece, we argue that preparations for a just future transition on the Korean peninsula must start now. This commentary considers the possibilities for Australia to support just transition, in whatever form it may take, through immediate action not focused on bilateral or state-centric relations, but instead through other spaces in a broadly defined civil society. Effective Australian support for transitional justice and overall wellbeing of North Koreans must overcome structural barriers to opportunity for North Koreans within Australia, as well as barriers of overly securitised paradigms.
