Because of the extreme difficulties and dangers involved in crossing the DMZ or escaping by direct sea route, most North Korean defectors attempt to reach South Korea by crossing the border with China. Regardless of the Chinese Constitution, which effectively grants asylum to North Koreans fleeing political persecution, the UNHCR Convention and Protocol, which clearly state that North Korean asylum seekers are actually entitled to refugee status, the assessments of the 300 North Korean asylum seekers are the same. forcibly repatriated to North Korea every week without access to the UNHCR process. The Chinese government does not provide formal procedures to determine the status of North Korean asylum seekers.
The Constitution Law of the People's Republic of China." The Constitution law of the People's Republic of China - WIPO. Every asylum seeker deserves to obtain a formal procedure to determine their refugee status, this includes North Korean asylum seekers, but based on the explanation above, the Chinese government's treatments of North Korean refugees conflict with international refugee regulations regulated by UNHCR . Therefore, the author uses Howe's human security and Kent's humanitarian responsibility and obligations concepts to address UNHCR's efforts on North Korean refugee issues in China, as these issues are related to North Korean refugees' human security and China's humanitarian responsibility and obligations regarding UNHCR's provisions.
The theme of this research is human rights, where the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is an international organization that plays an important role in helping North Korean refugees in China who are dealing with the issues of the refugee crisis . The period of this study is from 2000 to 2012, as UNHCR's efforts in responding to cases related to North Korean refugees began in 2002 and last in 2012. The writer identifies the challenges faced by UNHCR regarding to the North Korean refugee crisis and the efforts they have made.
The author hopes that this research study can provide insight and knowledge to other authors and to the community regarding the role of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) as an international institution in addressing issues related to the North Korean refugee crisis in China. The other literature is published by Oxford University Press by Elim Chan and Andreas Schloenhardt under the title North Korean Refugees and International Refugee Law. The next political option for China is to give all North Korean citizens in China unlimited status as human rights defenders.39 Alternatively, you can give a special residence visa to North Koreans if they can show that they have a job and a place to live.40 An en- temporary amnesty for all North Koreans in China, with permission to stay in the country.41.

The next political option is the most difficult to achieve, which is compliance with its obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol.42 China is obliged to allow UNHCR unhindered access to North Korean refugees in China to review their general situation and determine their individual status. 43 This literature is useful in promoting human rights in relation to China's policy towards North Korean refugees. The first literature study focuses exclusively on UNHCR's refugee protection guidelines and their provisions, while this research focuses on UNHCR's efforts to address the issue of North Korean refugees in China.
The second literature review focuses on North Korea's eligibility for refugee status without discussing and identifying UNHCR's efforts to determine refugee status, so it is different from this research that discusses and identifies UNHCR's efforts to refugee status determination for North Korean asylum seekers. Finally, the third literature review highlights China's North Korean refugee policy from a human rights perspective, while this research highlights China's policy in comparison to its implementation of UNHCR provisions from the perspective of institutionalism theory liberal and complementary to the roles and functions of international organizations, human security. , and humanitarian obligations and concepts of responsibility. This concept is vital to help analyze the North Korean refugee crisis in China.
