The establishment of a government-backed North Korean human rights foundation in South Korea is being held up by the opposition Minjoo Party, South Korea’s National Assembly Secretariat and the Ministry of Unification (MoU) said on Wednesday.

The Minjoo Party of Korea is yet to submit a list containing four nominees for the board of directors who could pass the necessary articles of association, the National Assembly Secretariat told NK News.

South Korea’s MoU is pushing ahead with a plan to set up the foundation after a bill on North Korean human rights went into effect on September 4, 2016.
