Congress makes the following findings:
(1) According to the Department of State, the Government of North Korea is “a dictatorship under the absolute rule of Kim Jong Il” that continues to commit numerous, serious human rights abuses.
(2) The Government of North Korea attempts to control all information, artistic expression, academic works, and media activity inside North Korea and strictly curtails freedom of speech and access to foreign broadcasts.
(3) The Government of North Korea subjects all its citizens to systematic, intensive political and ideological indoctrination in support of the cult of personality glorifying Kim Jong Il and the late Kim Il Sung that approaches the level of a state religion.
(4) The Government of North Korea divides its population into categories, based on perceived loyalty to the leadership, which determines access to food, employment, higher education, place of residence, medical facilities, and other resources.
(5) According to the Department of State, “[t]he [North Korean] Penal Code is [d]raconian, stipulating capital punishment and confiscation of assets for a wide variety of ‘crimes against the revolution,’ including defection, attempted defection, slander of the policies of the Party or State, listening to foreign broadcasts, writing ‘reactionary’ letters, and possessing reactionary printed matter”.
(6) The Government of North Korea executes political prisoners, opponents of the regime, some repatriated defectors, some members of underground churches, and others, sometimes at public meetings attended by workers, students, and schoolchildren.
(7) The Government of North Korea holds an estimated 200,000 political prisoners in camps that its State Security Agency manages through the use of forced labor, beatings, torture, and exe

§ 7832. Assistance provided inside North Korea
(a) Humanitarian assistance through nongovern-
mental and international organizations
It is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) at the same time that Congress supports
the provision of humanitarian assistance to
the people of North Korea on humanitarian
grounds, such assistance also should be pro-
vided and monitored so as to minimize the
possibility that such assistance could be di-
verted to political or military use, and to
maximize the likelihood that it will reach the
most vulnerable North Koreans;
(2) significant increases above current levels
of United States support for humanitarian as-
sistance provided inside North Korea should be
conditioned upon substantial improvements in
transparency, monitoring, and access to vul-
nerable populations throughout North Korea;
and
(3) the United States should encourage other
countries that provide food and other humani-
tarian assistance to North Korea to do so
through
monitored,
transparent
channels,
rather than through direct, bilateral transfers
to the Government of North Korea.
(b) United States assistance to the government of
North Korea
It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) United States humanitarian assistance to
any department, agency, or entity of the Gov-
ernment of North Korea shall—
(A) be delivered, distributed, and mon-
itored according to internationally recog-
nized humanitarian standards;
(B) be provided on a needs basis, and not
used as a political reward or tool of coer-
cion;
(C) reach the intended beneficiaries, who
should be informed of the source of the as-
sistance; and
(D) be made available to all vulnerable
groups in North Kor
