Despite Kim Jong Un's grandstanding, half the population of North Korea are suffering from a lack of food. With almost twelve million people not knowing where the next meal is coming from, it is hardly surprising that UN officials have accused the communist enclave of violating its human rights obligations due to its failing economic and agricultural policies.
It is reported that North Korea has failed to come to terms with climate conditions, infertile land, natural disasters and the negative impact of sanctions which have contributed to further food insecurity.

Due to the fact that the country's economy is a centrally planned system, the government has refused to put in place conditions where people can securely engage in trade and exchange in marketplaces. Nonetheless, a vast majority of North Koreans are increasingly engaging in such market activity for their survival.
The people continue to live in the fear of being sent to a political prison camp.
