For decades, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea – more commonly known as North Korea – has been one of the world’s most controversial countries when we talk about human rights. This research paper focuses on a critical analysis of the past, present and prospective stand of human rights in Democratic People’s Republic of Korea aka North Korea. The approach followed during the research is mainly qualitative and expository in nature, it consults area studies, social science, law and journalism, while it observes recent past and current North Korean human right violations and their responses.
When we talk about human rights, we usually think of social and political freedoms such as the freedom of speech, freedom of access to electronic media and freedom of political participation. But human rights primarily refer to ‘the right to live as the common owner of one’s society.’ There is no human right more important than the right to life. Above all else, a human being must be guaranteed the basic conditions to feed, clothe, house and support oneself in order to survive. Thus, the value of the paper lies in its explanation of why and how the use of human right is violated and abused by the government of a democratic country such as North Korea and how the violation pf such rights lead to a situation of chaos and consequential threat in the current pandemic.

The law of the treaties is based on the principles of “pacta sunt servanda” which means that agreements are to be kept. It is one of the basic principles of international law that treaties must be performed in good faith and are binding. Article 26 of the Vienna Convention on Law of The Treaties reiterates that treaties are meant to be adhered to in good faith. Bilateral or multilateral treaties and agreements have been the most apt and amicable way of addressing disputes between the nations. These treaties lay down rights and obligations of the parties and the course of action required to ensure de-escalation of the dispute. Yet there have been numerous instances where the treaties and agreements have violated for individual interests of nations. In significant number of cases, such breaches jeopardized the international peace and security. This can be ascribed to the inefficient enforcement regime and insignificant repercussion for such breaches. This has grossly limited the relevance of the law of treaties and the principle “pacta sunt servanda” has been rendered nugatory. This research paper attempts to throw light upon the lacunas in the existing regime of the United Nations regarding the breach of treaties. It also attempts to put forward suggestions and reforms to strengthen the obligation of aggressors.

This piece of legislation is regarded way ahead for the Muslim women as it tries to correct the wrongs perpetrated against them and thereby end the various forms of discrimination. The old scriptures and texts act as solid evidence that women in Islam had a strong footing and were considered equals to their male counterparts. But the translations throughout the years change all of that to males overpowering females and the laws being biased. The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 presents a threshold of laws to deal with every single principle which is prejudiced in its essence.
