Robert King- Special Envoy for NK Human Rights Issues

Ambassador Robert King has been appointed by the Obama administration as a Special Envoy for North Korea Human Rights Issues, the first appointee who is taking this position on full time. He seems dedicated to taking a more hardline stance on NK human rights issues, which is indicative of the progress being made with global human rights under the new administration.

Check out a recent briefing he gave in Geneva: http://geneva.usmission.gov/2009/12/10/amb-robert-king/

Also, "US ambassador Kathleen Stephens told the forum the State Department would provide three million dollars this year (2010) to promote human rights and fund radio broadcasts into the communist state."
