NCHR Occasional Paper Series #7 2016

Zoë Eunjae Lee graduated from the Master of Philosophy programme in the Theory and Practice of Human Rights at the University of Oslo in 2016.

Her master thesis is titled Flight in Legal Limbo: An analysis of the public-private protection dilemma against refoulement of North Koreans in flight.

In it, she explores the protection void presented in the case study of North Korean refugees and questions whether the findings prompt the international community to reinterpret non-refoulement obligation. She currently works at the Norwegian Human Rights Fund.
