  • Proposed: 2014 – the United Nations published a decades-awaited report on human rights report in North Korea, the most authoritative in documenting crimes against humanity in the country.
    • This is my first time proposing an item to be considered for "On this day". While I am trying to follow the instructions, please excuse my clumsiness if I make any mistakes. February 7th 2024 will be the 10th anniversary of the publication of the aforementioned report. The UN issues dozens if not hundreds of reports each year. However, this report is special; for those interested in human rights in North Korea, this report is one of a kind, and it remains unmatched ten years later and no other report is expected to come close to it any time soon. Its purpose was to "investigate in depth human rights violations; document witness accounts; and ensure accountability especially for crimes against humanity.". It authoritatively documents the abuses of the North Korean regime, creating a basis for future prosecution if that ever became possible. If in the future there were the North Korea equivalent to the post-WWII Nuremberg trials, this report would be the central piece undergirding the case. Thank you for your consideration.Al83tito (talk) 15:41, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
      • @Amakuru:@Holly Cheng: I am new to proposing "On this day" highlights. For its 10th year anniversary this Feb 7th, I wonder if you could kindly consider my above submission. This anniversary is already listed in the "Eligible" section. Above I am offering an alternative wording for it. Thank you. Al83tito (talk) 15:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
        @Al83tito: that seems fine to me. It's a significant report, and the article is a GA and well cited so fine on quality. I'm not a regular at OTD myself, so hopefully not treading on any toes here, but AFAIK it's fairly free and easy at that project, so I'd suggest you just insert it into the template with a suitable blurb (making sure that is worded factually and following WP:NPOV of course), and see what happens. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 15:24, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
        I'm not really involved anymore. Pinging @Bumbubookworm: for visibility. holly {chat} 21:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

2014An inquiry report of the United Nations Human Rights Council found systematic and wide-ranging violations of human rights in North Korea.

And you noted this reason:

swap out North Korea report blurb, move to ineligible, date not supported by citations

I am puzzled by that. The article is well referenced, including about the date of its release. The report itself is dated as such:

UN Human Rights Council (25th session) (February 7, 2014), Report of the commission of inquiry on human rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (A/HRC/25/63), United Nations, archived from the original (PDF) on 2014-03-11{{citation}}: CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list (link)

The article only cited the date with some other sources that didn't support it. I looked for sources with the date, but didn't think to look at the report itself! If you add the citations in the article, I'll restore the OTD blurb. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:05, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I see you did that already. I restored the blurb. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:07, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you Firefangledfeathers, you are lightning fast! I had not realized that the article had one key citation with the link broken. I have indeed fixed it moments ago, and now it more clearly shows how the report itself is dated Feb 7, 2014. Thank you for kindly restoring it to OTD.
