Human Right Value in North Korea after the death of Kim Jong Il

Human right is basically given to a person. It is a universal and eternal value so it cant be seize by any mean or any reason. Therefore human right have to be protected, respected, endured, cannot be neglected, decreased or seized by other. Because human right is an universal value, its crystal clear that every country have to respect their peoples right and give them freedom to live and to choose the life they want without being fear and threaten by the government as long as the act didnt abuse the country rules. But North Korea, as the strictest and the purest country that still hold on its communist traditional value until now has done a lot of human right abuses to its own people in the name of communist and the party. As we known, North Korea has a very long story on its formation till what we finally see as North Korea now. Started with the separation from the South Korea after the world war II where the north became a communist country under the Sovyet Union and started to be strictly isolate their country from the outside world. The Leader, from Kim Il Sung that ruled since 1948-1994, and replaced by his son Kim Jong Il that just passed away this December didnt change anything from this country since the end of world war II. It is still the same old Communist North Korea 50 years ago. During the communist regime in the North Korea, the government which is led by one Leader has made a long record of human rights abuse history. Started with the famine tragedy on 1995 that caused the death of 600.000-2.000.000 North Korean and another abuses on their people who against the party such as the shipment to a labor camp and being imprisoned without trial and protection. North Korea are also responsible for giving their own people terror and tortured feeling psychologically by witnessed public execution which is become common in the North Korea and a lot more human right abuses that we, in the democratic and free country cannot imagine that such horrible action could be done without any action by outside world. However, the hope is still there. The death of Kim Jong Il could be a new start for the North Korean to gain their own freedom. It is the moment for the USA, together with South Korea and another international organization to campaign the basic right for the North Korean people which is suffering too long under the Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il era. The successor, Kim Jong Un has to be approach with a smooth way diplomatically without the feeling of threatened and expelled by the international world. The bringing of human right value to North Korea cannot be done with weapon or missiles otherwise, it should be done with aid, communication and helping hand from the outside world. The world has been waiting so long for the peace in Korean Peninsula that will surely make a new start for the east-west relations to become better. Therefore, a genius approaching should be act by the UN, as the head of countries union towards North Korea so that its not only the North Korean could finally breath the freedom but also to promote Human Right in the region and of course to reach the peace in the Korean Peninsula that we are all has been waiting for so long.
