Since citizens cannot freely leave the country, it is mainly from stories of refugees and defectors that the nation's human rights record has been constructed. ... Indeed, most international human rights organizations consider North Korea to have no contemporary parallel with respect to violations of liberty.

Yet the country's woeful human rights record is one topic that has yet to come up in any meeting - and it's likely to remain that way.
The UN says North Koreans live under "systematic, widespread and gross human rights violations". Here are just some of the issues the country faces:
Total government control
Isolated from the rest of the world, North Korea has been ruled by the Kim family for three generations, and its citizens are required to pay complete devotion to the family and its current leader, Kim Jong-un.
The state controls everything, and actively spies on its citizens using a vast surveillance network.
The economy is also strictly controlled and the government funnels money into its nuclear and missile programme despite widespread shortages of food, fuel and other basic necessities.
Brad Adams, Asia director of Human Rights Watch (HRW), told the BBC that North Korea has only been able to develop an expensive nuclear programme because it is a totalitarian state, and it's done so by "taking food out of the stomachs of hungry North Koreans".
Media control
North Korea's media is arguably the most tightly controlled in the world.Reporters without Borders (RSF) ranks it last in its World Press Freedom Index.
North Koreans get all their news, entertainment and information from state media, which unfailingly praises the leadership.
According to RSF, citizens can be sent to prison for viewing, reading or listening to content provided by international media outlets.
