A/HRC/13/47 prolonged. Given that the human rights situation in this country has a distinctive spillover effect, with extraterritorial implications, humane examples offered by countries dealing with these implications are important and much welcome. Resumption of the now dormant Six-Party Talks to help denuclearize the country would also be an added opportunity to provide space for an improved environment on human rights in the country. In particular, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea should take the following measures, among others: ensure effective provision of and access to food and other basic necessities for those in need of assistance; rectify the distorted pattern of food distribution; cooperate constructively with United Nations agencies and other humanitarian actors on the issue; enable people to undertake economic activities to satisfy their basic needs and supplement their livelihood without State interference; adopt a moratorium on capital punishment; terminate public executions and abuses against the security of the person, and other violations of rights and freedoms; end the punishment of those who seek asylum abroad and who are sent back to the country; cooperate effectively to resolve the issue of foreigners abducted by the country and to address the other issues, including the consequences of the Korean war, which give rise to shackles of fear in the country; and respond constructively to the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur. A number of longer-term measures are also voiced in this report, together with recommendations to the international community. This is the final report of this Rapporteur for the Human Rights Council. 2 GE.10-10793
