“…In contrast to the CSCE, the security and human rights nexus applied to North Korea has not yet had any similar impact on North Korea. North Korean Human Right Acts are only superficially similar to the Helsinki Final Act in that they are a part of a process of linking human rights issues to international security concerns without possessing the necessary consent from the relevant state actors involved in the North Korean nuclear issue (Hwang and Kim 2006). Indeed, the Acts lack the legitimacy of the Helsinki Final Act, and thus are not likely to have similar effects of norm-based frame resonance on North Korea.…”

The primary objective of this article is to examine the possibility of path emergence by institutionalizing the security and human rights nexus in North Korea. The underlying assumption of this study is that institutionalization of the security and human rights nexus in a repressive state sets in motion self-organizing dynamics which often shift the institutional path of the country from path dependence to path emergence, culminating in drastic socio-political transformation. Path emergence unfolds through the sequential phases of an influx of information, activation of frame resonance, strategic coordination in a network, a boomerang effect and finally a threshold effect. This theoretical framework is applied to the case of North Korea. This article argues that self-organizing dynamics may occur in North Korea if the security and human rights nexus in Korea were to be institutionalized within a single institutional framework.

“…285–286), such transgressions have long been the purview of the Human Rights Council in Geneva and the UN General Assembly and are an area of concern for human rights specialists. The global public did not express concern until 2004 (Hwang & Kim, ). Between 2004 and 2014, human rights activists across the globe including those in South Korea and the United States joined forces with transnational advocacy networks to campaign against human rights violations.…”

North Korea said in January 2019 that it was exploring ways to engage the human rights issue. This was a much welcomed announcement because the issue must be addressed in order for the two countries to reach a formal, comprehensive peace agreement and the lifting or easing of unilateral sanctions. This study utilizes framing as an analytical tool to examine how the North Korean human rights discourse is framed in the United States for the purpose of identifying the salient rightsbased issues covered in two traditional media outlets, namely, the Washington Post and New York Times. Next, it reframes the discourse using a coding schema based on the convergence of the human rights, human security, and non-traditional security discourses. A reframing of the discourse highlights how the universalist-particularist debate in the traditional rights-based literature masks the underlying issues of the rights problem. A combination of the traditional rights-based discourse and the masking of the issues contributes to a disconnect in the way in which North Korea has been engaged in the past. Therefore, a reframing of the discourse using the convergence of the human rights, This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
