  • 2021

  • 2022

  • 2023

  • 2024

Answer

David Johnston resigned from his role as special rapporteur in 2023. He had been appointed to the position in 2018 by the United Nations Human Rights Council to investigate the human rights situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). Johnston's resignation came after he had been denied access to the DPRK for over three years, making it impossible for him to carry out his mandate effectively.
