I am very much in favour of the work of the UNHCR in Geneva, but I do think sometimes we should proceed a little more carefully, engaging in real versus resolutionary politics. The European Union had a human rights dialogue with North Korea modelled on our human rights dialogue with China. This was suspended in 2003 when the EU sponsored in Geneva a highly critical human rights resolution on North Korea without even informing our interlocutors in advance. At a recent meeting I attended in Geneva on the issue of human rights in North Korea, in the presence of the special rapporteur for North Korea, we were told we must have a new resolution next month because there was no dialogue, something we lost with the initial resolution. It might have been worth considering whether a real ongoing dialogue might do more to assist improving human rights than merely passing resolutions."@en1
