The Working Group would welcome the opportunity to work constructively with the Government to address its concerns surrounding the arbitrary deprivation of liberty by conducting a country visit to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The Working Group awaits a positive response to its previous request of 17 April 2015 to undertake a country visit. Disposition 31. In the light of the foregoing, the Working Group renders the following opinion: The deprivation of liberty of Lee Hak Su, being in contravention of articles 3, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and articles 2 (3), 9, 14 and 16 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, is arbitrary and falls within category I. 32. The Working Group requests the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to take the steps necessary to remedy the situation of Mr. Lee without delay and bring it into conformity with the relevant international norms, including those set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. 33. The Working Group considers that, taking into account all the circumstances of the case, the appropriate remedy would be to release Mr. Lee immediately and accord him an enforceable right to compensation and other reparations, in accordance with international law. 34. The Working Group urges the Government to ensure a full and independent investigation of the circumstances surrounding the arbitrary deprivation of liberty of Mr. Lee and to take appropriate measures against those responsible for the violation of his rights. 35. In accordance with paragraph 33 (a) of its methods of work, the Working Group refers the present case to the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances and the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea for appropriate action. 36. The Working Group requests the Government to disseminate the present opinion through all available means and as widely as possible. Follow-up procedure 37.
