->''It would be incautious to characterize an epoch in any country as "modern" when so much else remains traditional and charismatic. A "modern ideology" does not guarantee modernity. There are many examples. North Korea has a majority urban population (60 percent). Two-thirds of the population works in industry or services. It has a gigantic, modern-equipped military and launches rockets...Yet in terms of political practice, it is a hereditary monarchy where senior officials are patriarchally designated "father", "uncle", "brother" and so forth.''

->''Systematic, widespread and gross human rights violations have been and are being committed by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, its institutions and officials. In many instances, the violations of human rights found by the commission constitute crimes against humanity. These are not mere excesses of the State; they are essential components of a political system that has moved far from the ideals on which it claims to be founded. The gravity, scale and nature of these violations reveal a State that does not have any parallel in the contemporary world.''
