Summary:

Discusses role of Congress in U.S. policy toward North Korea, in light of Oct. 2008 reauthorization of the North Korean Human Rights Act (NKHRA) of 2004. Reviews role of human rights in U.S.-North Korea relations, and examines provisions and implementation of NKHRA.

Considers concerns with refugee provisions and changes in South Korean approach to its neighbor.
