영문 초록

Professor Amartya Sen, 1998 Nobel laureate in Economics. diagnosed that mass starvation occurs not because of food shortage, but because of bad governance of the dictatorial regime. North Korea is a typical example. North Korean authorities have a main responsibility to ensure the citizen 's right to food. If they simply give up WMD development, they can provide the whole food consumption needs of the people. If they change their management system of the agricultural production, they can solve the food shortage in a few years period. At present, foreign aids only strengthen the muscles of the ruling elites manipulating public distribution system and restricting the black market, on which ordinary citizens rely to get daily needs. Foreign food aids for two decades since mid 1990s' have proved to fail to solve the chronic shortage of food. The best way to solve the problem is not to send foods to their authorities but to secure freedom of expression for ordinary North Koreans. For that reason we have to urge North Korean regime to abolish political concentration camps. To facilitate such process, Korean National Assembly has to immediately enact the North Korean Human Rights Law, which is long overdue.
