of
UTOPIA Utopia is an ideal community or society possessing a perfect socio-politico-legal system. The word was coined in Greek by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean. The term has been used to describe both intentional communities that attempt to create an ideal society, and fictional societies portrayed in literature. It has spawned other concepts, most prominently dystopia. The word comes from the Greek: οὐ (“not”) and τόπος (“place”) and means “no place”. The English homophone eutopia, derived from the Greek εὖ (“good” or “well”) and τόπος (“place”), means “good place”. This, due to the identical pronunciation of “utopia” and “eutopia”, gives rise to a double meaning.

UTOPIA BY APPLETON
JUCHE IDEOLOGY All For Only One The idea of Juche, also known “Kimilsungism” after Kim Ilsung, is the
religious, political, social and economic ideology of North Korea (“The Juche Idea”).
The Juche Idea was first introduce by Kim Ilsung in 1955 to distance North Korea from the Soviet Union, which at the time was undoing many of
the Stalinist policies that Kim Ilsung liked. Juche evolved, borrowing from Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism and Confucianism whatever Kim Ilsung and Kim Jongil wanted, as well as their own ideas, and in 1972 replaced MarxismLeninism in the North Korean constitution as the country’s official ideology. According to Juche, there is no god but Kim Ilsung, the country’s “Eternal President”, which makes North Korea the world’s only country governed by an embalmed dead body. Juche attributed divine powers also to Kim Jongil, the sole author, editor and interpreter of Juche. Whether his divine powers trickle down to Kim Jongun remains to be seen. Juche espouses political independence and uses as justification the Korean peninsula’s long history of suffering as a vassal state or the battlefield for the region’s stronger countries. In reality, Juche produced an isolated state immune to international norms and laws, where the only rule of law is Kim Ilsung and his family. Juche also espouses economic independence, but the reality couldn’t be farther from it. The Korean peninsula’s northern half, only 18% of whose mountainous terrain is arable, historically depended on the agriculture of the relatively less mountainous southern half of the peninsula for its food. When the peninsula was split north-south in 1953, North Korea lost Over time,
access to its bread basket, and Juche’s disdain for international trade destined its people to hunger and starvation.
The North Korean economy has been kept afloat not by Juche but by massive food and fuel aid from the Soviet Union, China, South Korea, Japan, United States and the United Nations, as well as Juche’s sole export crop, opium, which annually earns an estimated $500 million to $1 billion.

Kim Family’s Dictatorship North Korea is a self-described Juche (self-reliant) state, described by some observers as a de facto absolute monarchy or “hereditary dictatorship” with a pronounced cult of personality organized around Kim
Il-sung (the founder of North Korea and the country’s only president) and his late son, Kim Jong-il. There are also those who reject the view that North Korea is a communist state, instead claiming that the North Korean leadership uses communism as a justification for their rule. More recent research based on North
Korea’s domestic documents and not propaganda for the international audience, popularized in 2009 by Brian R. Myers and his book The Cleanest Race and later supported by further academics even characterizes North Korea as a far-right national-socialist country heavily influenced by Japan of the 1930s. Following Kim Il-sung’s death in 1994, he was not replaced but instead received the designation of “Eternal President”, and was entombed in the vast Kumsusan Palace of the Sun in central Pyongyang. Although the office of the President is ceremonially held by the deceased Kim Ilsung,the Supreme Leader until his death in December 2011 was Kim
Jong-il, who was General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and Chairman of the National Defence Commission of North Korea. The legislature of North Korea is the
Supreme People’s Assembly, currently led by Chairman Kim Yong-nam. The other senior government figure is Premier Choe Yong-rim.
The structure of the government is described in the Constitution of North Korea, the latest version of which is from 2009 and officially rejects North Korea’s founding ideology of communism. The governing party by law is the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland, a coalition of the Workers’ Party of Korea and two other smaller parties, the Korean Social Democratic Party and the Chondoist Chongu Party. These parties nominate all candidates for office and hold all seats in the Supreme People’s Assembly. They have negligible power, as the leader holds autocratic control over the nation’s affairs. In June 2009, it was reported in South Korean media that intelligence indicated that the country’s next leader would be Kim Jong-un, the youngest of Kim Jong-il’s three sons. This was confirmed on 19 December 2011, following Kim Jong-il’s death. According to Cheong Seong-chang of Sejong Institute, speaking on June 25, 2012, there is some possibility that the new leader Kim Jong-un, who has greater visible interest in the welfare of his people and engages in greater interaction with them than his father did, will consider economic reforms and regularization of international relations.
Political expression is tightly controlled in North Korea. Supporters of the government who deviate from the government line
are subject to reeducation in sections of labor camps set aside for that purpose. Those who are successfully rehabilitated may reassume responsible government positions on their release. Troublesome political dissidents, factionalists and class enemies, who are considered irredeemable are incarcerated together with any close family members or children born in the camp in “Total Control Zones” for life at hard labor. Labor camps in North Korea
are actually areas of the country set aside for that purpose, Camp 22 (also known as Kwan-li-so No.22 Haengyong) is 31 miles by 25 miles with a population of about 50,000. Those who attempt to escape or violate camp rules are executed or sent to a separate prison within the camp. The labor camps are reserved for political prisoners; common criminals are incarcerated in a separate system. There are 6 such areas in the northern and northeastern portion of North Korea.
Kim Il-Sung
Founder of Communist North Korea. Ruled (1948-1994) on the Stalinist model and set up a cult of personality. Passed power on to his son in the first hereditary transfer of power in a Communist system. Started the bloody Korean War in 1950.
[The Truth of Utopia]
Kim Jong-Il
Communist dictator of North Korea (1994-2011) Inherited power from his father. Attempted to set up one of his sons to inherit the country upon his passing. Under the Kim Jong-Il, North Korea developed nuclear weapons and engaged in dangerous nuclear diplomacy with the U.S. and neighboring nations, and has engaged in occassional military skirmishes with South Korea, including the bloody attack on Yeonpyeong Island in 2010. Kim Jong-Il died on December 17, 2011
Kim Jong-Un
New Communist dictator of North Korea (2011) Inherited power from his father, who died in December, 2011. Upon his introduction as “The Great Successor,� Kim Jong-Un was in his 20s, is known to have been educated in a German boarding school, and is a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers National Basketball Association (NBA) team. It is unknown what the North Korean military thinks of their young, new leader.

PRISON CAMP UTOPIA
UTOPIA BY APPLETON
[The Truth of Utopia] According to many organizations, the conditions in North Korean prisons are harsh and life threatening. Prisoners are subject to torture and inhumane treatment. Public and secret executions of prisoners, even children, especially in cases of escape attempts; infanticides (forced abortions and baby killings upon birth) also often occur. The mortality rate is very high,
because many prisoners die of starvation, illnesses, work accidents or torture.
Lee Soon-ok gave detailed testimony on her treatment in the North Korean prison system to the United States House of Representatives in 2002. In her statement she said, “I testify that most of the 6,000 prisoners who were there when I arrived in 1987 had quietly perished under the harsh prison conditions by the time I was released in 1992.� Many other former prisoners, including Kang Chol-hwan and Shin Dong-hyuk, gave detailed and consistent testimonies on the human rights crimes in North Korean prison camps.
The DPRK government flatly denies all allegations of human rights violations in prison camps, claiming that this is prohibited by criminal
According to the testimony of former camp guard Ahn Myong Chol of Camp 22, the guards are trained to treat the detainees as sub-human, and he gave

The fighting over who got to eat a kernel of corn retrieved DPRK government failed to provide any information on prisoners or prison camps from cow dung. or to allow access to any human rights organization. The North Korean prison camp facilities can be distinguished into large internment camps for political prisoners (Kwan-li-so in Korean) and reeducation prison camps (Kyo-hwa-so in Korean).

PRISON CAMP No.22Prison Camp Forced Labor camps in North Korea came into being after World War II when Japanese colonial rule over the region ended. Japanese collaborators, landowners, and remaining families of those who fled to the South were among the first prisoners. It is reported that North Korea is running as many as six different political and forced labor camps. The North Korean government denies the
existence of such camps, and little information about the prison camps can be found. What the world knows has been
taken from accounts by former guards and prisoners who have defected. Satellite imagery of alleged prison locations show no distinctive markings. The camps
are not surrounded by walls, but reportedly, the prison camps encompass areas as large as Washington DC.
Condemned by the international human rights community, most of these camps are located in central North Korea far away from Russian and Chinese borders in rugged mountain terrain. There is speculation as to the exact
numbers of prisoners being held in these facilities, but it is believed to number in the hundred thousands.
Accounts from former prisoners and guards indicate forced laborers mine coal, make uniforms for the military, work in reprocessing factories, and farm. Reportedly, the prisoners themselves, are treated harshly. The prisoners are
fed a diet of corn powder, cabbage leafs, and salt. Both defectors and human rights groups assert prisoners at North Korean camps are routinely beaten and used as a free economic tool by the regime.

Lack of Human Rights heavily restricted. Freedom of speech is forbidden, and the only radio, television, and news organizations that are deemed legal are those operated by the government. It is estimated that between 150,000 and 200,000 political prisoners are detained in concentration camps, where they perform slave labour and face torture and execution. Human rights in North Korea are
It is difficult to assess the full extent of human rights abuse in North Korea. The North Korean government makes it very difficult for foreigners to enter the country and strictly monitors their activities when they do. Aid workers are subject to considerable scrutiny and excluded from places and regions the government does not wish them to enter. Since citizens cannot freely leave the
country, it is mainly from stories of refugees and defectors that the nation’s human rights record has been constructed. The government’s position, expressed through the Korean Central News Agency, is that North Korea has no human rights issue, because its socialist system was chosen by the people and serves them faithfully. North Korea’s human rights record has been widely condemned, including by Amnesty International and the United Nations, which passed a General Assembly resolution in 2008.

North Korea’s human rights record remains deplorable. According to the 2011 State Department Human Rights Report, the government subjected citizens to rigid controls over many aspects of their lives, including denial of the freedoms of speech, press,
assembly, association, religion, and movement and worker rights. Conditions in North Korea’s vast network of political prison camps are reportedly harsh and life threatening. The penal code prohibits torture or inhuman treatment, but numerous defector accounts and non-governmental organizations report the use of torture by authorities in kwan-li-so political prisons. Methods of torture reportedly include severe beatings; electric shock; prolonged periods of exposure to the elements; humiliations such as public nakedness; confinement for up to several weeks in small “punishment cells” in which prisoners were unable to stand upright or lie down; being forced to kneel, or sit immobilized for long periods; being hung by the wrists, or forced to stand up and sit down to the point of collapse; and forcing mothers to watch the infanticide of their newborn infants. Many prisoners reportedly died from torture, disease, starvation, exposure to the elements, or a combination of these causes. Non-governmental organizations, defectors, and press reports indicate that there are several types of prisons, detention centers, and camps inside North Korea, including forced labor camps and separate camps for political prisoners. Estimates of the total number of prisoners in the kwan-li-so camps range between 130,000 - 200,000 detainees. A South Korean think tank Database Center on North Korean Human Rights reported that 138,000 people were being held in North Korean detention centers, with between 130,500 and 131,000 held in five active political prison camps. No human rights monitors are permitted to inspect any prisons or detention facilities in North Korea. The United States calls on the North Korean government to uphold the fundamental freedoms of all its people.

His eyes on Media
w h
No Press Freedom in North Korea By Ashlee Male Situated in the east of Asia and bordered by China, Russia and South Korea, North Korea is home to an estimated 23.5 million citizens. These people reside in one of the most heavily controlled and estricted communities known to exist. They are cut off from the
o
concept of freedom of expression. They are the most isolated in the world.
c
Reporters Without Borders ranked the country at the very bottom of their scale of world-wide press freedom for five consecutive years. In their annual report of 2005, RWB revealed the extent by which the country’s autocratic dicta-
h a n g
tor Kim Jong-il thrives in exerting his control over all national media. All journalism students are taught to adhere to a strict hierarchy regarding what must be published. Considered the most important ‘news’ is anything that praises the “Dear Leader” and followed by this is expression of the superiority of North Korean socialism and denouncement of imperialism.
e
Ideological training is said to take place once a week for the entire duration of North Korean journalists’ careers. Former editor Kim Gil-Sun said, “Central
d h
Committee members taught us about the achievements of Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung, their leading speeches and the party’s ideology. Our test results were obviously crucial for our careers. The party counted on the most disciplined journalists.”
i s n a
For the seemingly undisciplined journalists, their lives are at stake. A mere typing error can result in a journalist being taken to what is known as a ‘revolutionisation’ camp. These are farms or factories where journalists are sent to work and be re-educated upon making a mistake. In more severe cases, they can be deported to concentration camps. In 1995 following an attempt to organise a small group of independent journalists, Song Keum-chul was sent to a concentration camp and never seen or heard of again.

Control All Media North Korea is currently ranked second to last (ahead of Eritrea) on the World Press Freedom Index published by Reporters Without Borders. The constitution of North Korea provides for freedom of the press, but in practice all media
is strictly controlled by the government. The national media is focused almost entirely on political propaganda and the promotion of the personality cults surrounding Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il. It emphasizes historical grievances towards the United States and Japan. According to the North Korean government’s account of history, the country was the victim
of aggression during the Korean War by the United States, while historians from the West say that it was North Korea that started the war. Reporters Without Borders claims that radio or television sets which can be bought in North Korea are pre-set to receive only the government frequencies and sealed with a label to prevent tampering with the equipment. It is a serious criminal offense to manipulate the sets and receive radio or television broadcasts from outside North Korea. In a party campaign in 2003 the head of each party cell in neighbourhoods and villages received instructions to verify the seals on all radio sets. As North and South Korea use different television systems (PAL and NTSC respectively), it is not possible to view broadcasts across the border between the two countries; however, in areas bordering China, it has reportedly been possible to receive television from that country. A North Korean envoy for the United Nations reported that any North Korean citizen caught watching a South Korean film may result in that person being sent to a labour camp.

UTOPIA
UTOPIA BY APPLETON
Another offense that can result in being sent to a concentration camp is tampering with radios or television sets. Government radio and television channels are preset and sealed. In some cases people have taken the risk of opening the seals in order to tune into other frequencies. Consequently, in 2003 neighbourhood officials were elected to verify the seals in every single household. Citizens cannot freely leave North Korea, and those that do are refugees. And the secretive and closed nature of the country means it is extremely difficult for outsiders to enter the country too, making the nation’s situation risky to assess. Fewer than 1500 people visit the country a year. Those that do are forced to participate in guided tours and must remain with the tour guide at all times. Interaction with natives is strictly forbidden and every visitor signs a form at customs declaring that they will not publish details of their trip.
The current situation The latest information by Reporters Without Borders reveals that since 2007 a few international television stations have been allowed to report from North Korea. “This permission was obtained only after a large number of meetings and a lot of work and effort,” an ABC News executive said. Yet contact with the local population is restricted, and the foreign journalists are watched by North Korean police at all times. Meanwhile more and more people are listening to foreign radio stations with radios smuggled in by neighbouring China, despite the attempt by private police to prevent this. The channels available are Voice of America, Radio Free Asia and several South Korean stations. Despite having minimal access to the Internet, several North Korean journalists have contributed to the cyberworld through blogging. The websites are hosted in Japan or South Korea. Nevertheless North Korea remains the most isolated country in the world.

ECONOMY FOR ARMY Money For Weapons The cost of Friday’s failed rocket launch by North Korea is estimated by South Korean intelligence officials at $850 million – nearly enough to feed about 80% of the population of the impoverished nation for a year. The launch site cost $400 million and the rocket and payload cost an additional $450 million, a military official told Yonhap, South Korea’s state-affiliated news agency. Yonhap says the cash could feed 19 million for a year. North Korea has a population of 24.3 million in 2010, according to the World Bank. “North Korea has suffered a deficit of 400,000 tons of food every year. So, the money could resolve the problem of food shortages for six years,” the official said. Documents reviewed by Britain’s Telegraph also placed the cost at $850 million, enough to buy 2.5 million tons of corn and 1.4 million tons of rice. The U.N. estimates North Korea’s entire 2011 harvest at 5.4 million tons. “North Korea has suffered a deficit of 400,000 tons of food every year. So, the money could resolve the problem of food shortages for six years,” an unnamed official told Yonhap. CNN’s Ramy Inocencio spoke with Cheong Wook-sik at the Peace Network in Seoul who thinks the $850 million cost estimate is likely too high, accounting for the lower cost of North Korean labor and technology. For comparison, Cheong says South Korea’s satellite launch in 2009 cost $500 million. He added that the highest-paid technical laborers in North Korea – at the Kaesong Industrial Complex – get paid less than $60 per month. Their counterparts in South Korea – engineers and computer programmers – make about $5,000 a month. That’s more than an 8200% salary dif-
ference.
Whatever the cost of the failed rocket, the world community agrees that North Koreans are going hungry. The U.N. World Food Programme estimates that in North Korea “one in every three children remains chronically malnourished or ‘stunted’, meaning they are too short for their age.” North Korea recently had to reduce the minimum height of soldiers to 1.45 meters (4 feet, 9 inches), the Los Angeles Times reported. Moreover, the nation faces more sanctions as a result of the launch. The U.S. has already stopped planned shipments of 240,000 metric tons of food after North Korean announced its rocket plans.

Hunger Kids Getting Die The North Korea Poverty can be viewed without any
effort in the downtowns of North Korea. The North Korea poverty is a continuous situation of awe for the entire humanitarian world since the birth of the State of North Korea. In the post Korean War (1950 - 1953) North Korea was formed. The political leaders of North Korea adopted the policy of communism after the birth of North Korea in contrast with the Republican policy adopted by South Korea. But a tourist cannot feel the awful situation of the North Korea Poverty if he/she restricts himself/ herself to the confinement of the capital of North Korea, Pyongyang. Like any capitalist State, Pyongyang hosts marvelous constructions like the May Stadium. This stadium hosted the Arirang festival to celebrate the birthday of the North Korean leader Kim II-sung in the year of 2002. The festival witnessed laser shows amidst the 200 meter wide computer screen in the May Stadium. But the story does not end here. The
North Korea poverty lies a little away from the pomp and grandeur of the North Korea capital. The minor children can be seen in cutting the remains of the rice harvest with sickles. The
North Korea poverty does not afford them to play or study at such a tender age. The carts are seen on the streets of the downtowns. They are not only pulled by horses and bullocks, but very inhumanly by the humans. To overcome from the starvation, the old people search for edible plants on hillsides. Men are often found to search for gold in streams of North Korea.
The North Korea poverty has furthered up by the devastating floods that happen frequently and destroy a big portion of the irrigable land. North Korea has witnessed fam-
ine many times that even led to the cannibalism in the society.
