DESCRIPTION:Human rights has emerged as a major focal point of US foreign policy toward 
 North Korea.  Conservative groups like the National Endowment for 
 Democracy, Defense Forum Foundation, and Concerned Women of America 
 (conservative counterpart to NOW) have joined several evangelical and 
 conservative Christian Korean and Korean American groups in supporting the 
 "North Korea   Human Rights Act" -- which was recently passed by the US 
 House of Representatives and is about to be presented to the Senate.  What 
 do we make of the allegations of human rights violations in North Korea 
 when the US continues to maintain its global hegemonic power through 
 military aggression?  Is it possible to discuss "human rights" across the 
 ideological spectrum, and do human rights look different from the left -- 
 in contrast to the right?  ·  John Feffer, Author of NORTH KOREA / SOUTH 
 KOREA: U.S. POLICY AT A TIME  OF CRISIS (Seven Stories Press, 2003) and 
 former international affairs  representative of the American Friends 
 Service Committee  ·  David Hawk, Author of THE HIDDEN GULAG: EXPOSING 
 NORTH KOREA’S PRISON  CAMPS (U.S. Committee for Human Rights in North 
 Korea, 2003) and a former  executive director of Amnesty International/USA  
 ·  Hyun Ok Park, Professor of East Asian Studies, New York University and
