Using This Website
The National Committee on North Korea's website offers the following resources:
Member Directory: NCNK members have expertise on a wide variety of issues in relation to the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea (DPRK). If you would like to get in touch with a member who has chosen not to list his or her contact information on our website please send an email; we will be happy to forward your message.
Publications: This data base gathers documents not readily available at other sites, with a focus on policy and governments, especially the US government: legislation, congressional statements, op-eds by members of Congress, Congressional Research Service reports, international agreements and treaties, etc. It also has reports and articles by NCNK members, and reports from NCNK-supported activities and conferences. The data base is still small, but, we hope, useful. It is probably easiest to use searching by document type or author. The "key word" search function is not working properly, and our web guy hasn't been able to fix it yet.
Briefing Papers: These short pieces are written with congressional staff in mind. They contain overviews of broad topics such as extremely condensed reviews of historical topics, as well as concise reports of narrowly focused policy developments such as Banco Delta Asia, BDA, US Government annual drug trafficking reports and the DPRK, appropriations, sanctions, etc.
News Releases: This page organizes topics by "folder;" and captures under each subject heading information about a given topic (such as UN Resolution 1718) or multiple articles about a given event in the news. This is one of the most valuable parts of the website, but it gets very few hits. If you have suggestions on how to improve its usability, please send an email.
NCNK newsletters: This page has the NCNK newsletter on exchange activities with the DPRK; the newsletter was launched in February 2008 and comes out once a month. Sign up for the newsletter here.
The Photo page is still under construction.
