lpv:translated text
"Mr President, China regularly sends back North Korean refugees to their home country, where they are threatened with torture, forced labour and even execution. Estimates suggest that over 20 000 North Koreans have fled the country since 1950, and the majority of them have defected specifically to China. Amnesty International, for example, has been monitoring the predicament of North Korean refugees in China for more than 10 years now, and has on several occasions reported on how the Chinese authorities treat them. China does not safeguard the human rights and refugee rights of North Koreans residing there. China intimidates refugees and those who help them, and has stopped refugees from entering the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Despite the fact that China is a permanent member of the UN Security Council and is party to the UN Refugee Convention, it defaults on its commitments and obligations in the international community."@en1
