A/HRC/RES/58/17 under conditions that reportedly amounted to forced labour, often for the purpose of generating income for the Government; 4. Also recalls paragraph 11 of Security Council resolution 2371 (2017), paragraph 17 of Council resolution 2375 (2017) and in particular paragraph 8 of Council resolution 2397 (2017), in which the Council decided that States Members of the United Nations should repatriate to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea all nationals of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea earning income in their jurisdictions and all Democratic People’s Republic of Korea government safety oversight attachés monitoring Democratic People’s Republic of Korea workers abroad immediately, but no later than 24 months from 22 December 2017, urges all States to fully comply, especially as there are indications of transport routes reopening, unless the particular State determines that the national is a national of that State or is prohibited from repatriation under applicable national and international law, including international refugee law and international human rights law, and urges the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to promote, respect and protect the human rights of workers, including workers who were repatriated to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea; 5. Further recalls paragraph 4 of General Assembly resolution 79/181, in which the Assembly underscored its very serious concern regarding reports of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, summary executions, arbitrary detention, abductions and other forms of human rights violations and abuses that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea committed against citizens of other States Members of the United Nations within and outside of its territory, and urged the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to disclose all relevant information about such persons, including their fate and whereabouts, to bereaved families and relevant entities; 6. Reiterates its deep concern at the findings of the commission of inquiry and subsequent investigations by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights concerning the situation of refugees and asylum-seekers returned to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and other citizens of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea who have been repatriated from abroad and made subject to sanctions, including internment, torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, sexual and genderbased violence, enforced disappearance or the death penalty, in this regard strongly urges all States to respect the fundamental principle of non-refoulement, especially in the light of the resumption of cross-border travel, including where the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea exerts pressure on returning States to effectuate such returns, to take action to counter acts of transnational repression by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, to treat humanely those who seek refuge and to ensure unhindered access for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, with a view to protecting the human rights of those who seek refuge, and to ensure adequate international protection by refraining from sharing information about the contacts and conduct of refugees, asylum-seekers and other citizens of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea with the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and once again urges States to comply with their obligations under international human rights law, including the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, as well as the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the Protocol thereto, in relation to persons from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea who are covered by those instruments; 7. Stresses and restates its grave concern at the finding of the commission of inquiry that the body of testimony gathered and the information received provided reasonable grounds to believe that crimes against humanity have been committed in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, pursuant to policies established at the highest level of the State for decades and by institutions under the effective control of its leadership, and that the crimes against humanity entail extermination, murder, enslavement, torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, imprisonment, rape, forced abortions and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence, persecution on political, religious, racial and genderrelated grounds, the forcible transfer of populations, the enforced disappearance of persons and the inhumane act of knowingly causing prolonged starvation; 7
