But this is far from the end of the story \u2013 in fact, it&#8217;s just the beginning.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Commission will be an independent inquiry led by international experts, who will look at reports from human rights organisations like CSW. They&#8217;ll also interview people who have escaped from North Korea, to get first-hand information. Then they&#8217;ll use this information to hold North Korea to account for its human rights violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, we really need to keep praying. This is a great achievement, but by itself it won&#8217;t solve the crisis in North Korea, where persecution of religious believers is among the worst in the world. Any Christian the authorities find is likely to be sent to a prison camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This week please:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Thank God for the long years of persistent advocacy that finally bore fruit;<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Thank God for this milestone, which could bring real change for the North Korean people;<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Ask God to protect North Korean refugees in China, vulnerable to being forcibly repatriated;<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Pray that the Commission&#8217;s work will make people around the world more aware of North Korea&#8217;s human rights situation;<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Pray that the North Korean authorities would cooperate with the UN;<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Pray that the UN will take decisive action on the Commission&#8217;s recommendations;<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Ask God to bless and protect the North Korean Christians who face daily terror as they live out their faith.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In March this year, the UN made a historic decision: to launch an official investigation into the widespread human rights violations in North Korea.
