La corruption dans la Corée du Nord

Corruption in North Korea is a widespread and growing problem in North Korean society. North Korea is ranked 175 out of 177 countries in Transparency International's 2013 Corruption Perceptions Index (tied with Somalia and Afghanistan).[1] Strict rules and draconian punishments imposed by the regime, for example, against accessing foreign media or for modifying radio or television receivers to access foreign media, are commonly evaded by offering bribes (взятка) to the police. Informing on colleagues and family members has become less common.[2]

North Korea’s state media admitted widespread corruption in North Korea, when laying out the accusations against Jang Sung-taek after his execution in December 2013. The statement mentions bribery, deviation of materials, selling resources and land, securing funds and squandering money for private use by organizations under his control.

Bribery – взяточничество

Transparency International (TI) is a non-governmental organization that monitors and publicizes corporate and political corruption in international development. Originally founded in Germany in May 1993 as a not-for-profit organization, Transparency International is now an international non-governmental organization. It publishes an annual Global Corruption Barometer and Corruption Perceptions Index, a comparative listing of corruption worldwide. The headquarters are located in Berlin, Germany.

Transparency International — неправительственная международная организация по борьбе с коррупцией и исследованию уровня коррупции по всему миру. Международное движение Transparency International была основана в 1993 году бывшим директором Всемирного банка Петером Айгеном в Берлине. На настоящий момент у организации существуют отделения более чем в 100 странах мира[1].

Since the turn of the new millennium, Transparency International (TI) has published the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) annually ranking countries "by their perceived levels of corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys."[1] The CPI generally defines corruption as "the misuse of public power for private benefit."[2]

The CPI currently ranks 177 countries "on a scale from 100 (very clean) to 0 (highly corrupt)

Jang Sung-taek (pronounced [tɕaŋ sʰʌŋtʰɛk]; January or February 1946[2] – 12 December 2013), also romanized as Chang Sŏng-t'aek, was a leading figure in the government of North Korea.

HORRORS OF NORTH KOREA: Oppression, corruption define life in hermit kingdom

Human rights abuses committed by North Korea's isolated regime are every bit as bad as those of Nazi Germany and during apartheid in South Africa, says the head of a U.N. inquiry.

Michael Kirby, chairman of a commission of inquiry into human rights abuses in North Korea, submitted a report to the United Nations Human Rights Council on March 17 that called on member nations to "address the scourge of human rights violations and crimes against humanity in (North Korea)."

The Asahi Shimbun and South Korean newspaper The Dong-A Ilbo carried out a joint survey in which they heard accounts of life in North Korea from 60 exiles who now live in Japan, South Korea and Canada. Their statements closely overlap the findings of the commission of inquiry.

Labor camps for political prisoners perhaps offer the most chilling symbol of North Korea's human rights abuses.

A defector in his 60s recalls seeing the primitive conditions in which political prisoners lived.

"Leaves from the ears of corn were used as roofing and straw was laid over a hole dug in the ground," the man said.

A man in his 30s said 12 family members of an acquaintance were held in one political prison. Only four ever left.

Testimony was also given about the brutal conditions in ordinary prisons, where beatings, torture using electric shocks and forced labor over many hours were common.

When prisoners died from the punishments meted out, bereaved family members did not receive compensation.

The North Korean people are indoctrinated from an early age into glorifying the supreme leaders from the past as well as the current leader, Kim Jong Un.

At day care centers, slogans hanging from walls carry the words, "Thank you, our leader."

When children start learning the North Korean language in school, the first words that are drummed into them are "Thank you, Dear Marshal Kim Il Sung."

A woman in her 30s now living in the Tokyo metropolitan area said, "We were only told good things so I began thinking that they were actually gods."

In order to thoroughly inculcate loyalty in the leadership, residents are encouraged by the secret police to spy on and inform on neighbors. On weekends, community meetings are held where residents criticize each other over their activities during the week that passed.

Access to foreign culture is restricted.

A man in his 60s living in the Kansai region said that older model TV sets and radios "with channel changers are soldered to prevent switching channels. The only button operable on remote controllers is the power switch."
