Going nuclear wouldn't be without costs
Should South Korea acquire its own nuclear weapons? This question tends to arise periodically whenever Pyongyang significantly ups the pace of its nuclear and ballistic missile tests. With North Korea growing increasingly provocative with its ballistic missile tests and adopting a policy that allows for preemptive nuclear strikes, it is not surprising that the issue has surfa...

Establishing North Korean human rights foundation for both Koreas
Since the current government came to power, discussions about creating a North Korean human rights foundation have been rekindled. The North Korean Human Rights Act was narrowly enacted in 2016 when the ruling and opposition parties finally reached an agreement, after repeated proposals and rejections over the previous 11 years. According to Article 10 of the act, the governm...

Netanyahu's Pyrrhic victory
Netanyahu's Pyrrhic victory
Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud-led bloc of Jewish supremacists, messianic nationalists, and ultra-Orthodox theocrats has won Israel's general election after suffering four consecutive defeats in less than four years. None of these elections was about ideology or policies, but rather about Netanyahu's own fitness to serve as prime minister. Netanyahu succeeded this time for two re...

Beware of tech principles in sheep's clothing
In the last few years, a growing movement has advocated “responsible” technology development and use, particularly for artificial intelligence. With monikers like “human-centered AI” and “responsible technology” these sound, as we say in America, like “motherhood and apple pie.” Who can be against human-centered and responsible technology?

Afraid of missing out on Veterans Day?
Murphy's Law being what it is, whether you're talking about a surprise party, a romantic getaway or visiting an acquaintance in the hospital, good intentions don't always pan out. The same goes for the intention to carry out a proper observation of Veterans Day.

A controversial mission to bring AI to all: a public good or ill?
A prevalent question that has been around for decades is what happens when we have democratized expression? When tackling this question, we found ourselves debating on Stability Diffusion, a generative AI project that has been recently causing controversy, due to its approach to trust the public and make its technology open-source and free to use (anyone can view the code and...

UN panel slams Beijing's rights abuses in Xinjiang
A high-level U.N. panel has slammed Beijing's ongoing and egregious human rights abuses in the western Xinjiang regions of the People's Republic. China's human rights violations have been committed through the use of “severe and undue restrictions” that are “characterized by a discriminatory component, as the underlying acts often directly or indirectly affect Uyghur and othe...

Korea Customs Service stands at forefront of war on drugs
Korea Customs Service stands at forefront of war on drugs
Currently, Korea is waging a war against drugs. The amount of smuggled drugs seized by the Korea Customs Service (KCS) last year was 1,272kg, exceeding 1 ton for the first time. The figure has increased by more than 37 times in just 10 years. Drug crimes have been rapidly spreading among the younger generation as 57 percent of drug offenders in Korea were in their 20s and 30s...

Reasonable expectations in chaos
Reasonable expectations in chaos
The deadly crush of revelers in Itaewon for the Halloween weekend was a nightmarish accident. As the country starts dividing opinions on causes and culpability, it is worth noting the challenge of crowd control in such circumstances.

Only the good die young
There are supposed to be five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I can pinpoint to the exact moment when my disbelief and denial turned into anger over the Halloween disaster in Itaewon that has so far taken 156 lives.
