The letter said:

I have the honor of writing to you again to draw your attention to the enticed group abduction of DPRK citizens by the south Korean authorities, which constitutes a contemporary form of human rights violation deserving international condemnation but still remains being connived.

As already known, the south Korean authorities, engrossed with the smear campaign against the DPRK, let the agents of NIS (National Intelligence Service) commit the heinous terrorist act of alluring and abducting the DPRK's women citizens in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province of China in broad daylight in early April 2016 to south Korea.

In this regard I would like to recall my letter sent to you and dated 17 May 2016 asking for an urgent action for the repatriation of the abducted DPRK women citizens and the letters from the families of the abductees sent to you twice (as enclosed in the Note Verbales of the DPRK Permanent Mission in Geneva Ref. No. 0037 dated 22 April 2016 and Ref. No. 0076 dated 30 November 2016), earnestly appealing for help so that their beloved daughters return home as quickly as possible.

We cannot but express our disappointment at the fact that no action has been taken by your office until now as we have entered 2017 without even a reply to our letters.

The UN human rights organs, true to their entrusted mandate and duty, will have to respond to the earnest demand of the families of the abductees for bringing the south Korean authorities before the court of justice and have their beloved daughters back to their parents.

On this opportunity, I would also like to urge for an appropriate action by your office for an immediate repatriation of Kim Ryon Hui, a DPRK citizen who has repeatedly appealed through south Korean and international media for help so that she can return home, lamenting herself of having been tricked to south Korea in September 2011.

The enticed abduction of DPRK citizens by the south Korean authorities constitutes a crime against humanity which has resulted in division of families artificially separating parents and children. Hence how to deal with this case will be a touchstone testing the true stand of your office for the promotion and protection of human rights.

We will not cease our struggle until the repatriation of DPRK citizens who were enticed and abducted by the south Korean authorities and will continue to seek any further action as may be required while closely following any step to be taken by your office.

I look forward to receiving your positive reply concerning this issue.
