Dr. Shin-wha Lee is professor of political science and international relations at Korea University in Seoul, South Korea. In 2022, the Yoon administration appointed Professor Lee as ambassador for international cooperation and North Korean human rights, a post created when South Korea’s National Assembly passed the North Korean Human Rights Act in 2016. She also served as special advisor to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan’s independent inquiry on the Rwandan Genocide, an advisory board member of the secretary general’s Peacebuilding Fund, and as chair’s advisor to the East Asian Vision Group (EAVG).

Patrick M. Cronin, Asia-Pacific security chair at Hudson Institute, will moderate a discussion with Ambassador Shin-wha Lee, South Korean ambassador for international cooperation on North Korean human rights.
As North Korea’s nuclear buildup, political repression, and strengthening ties with Russia and China undermine peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in northeast Asia, Ambassador Lee will explore these issues and identify the most important avenues for bilateral cooperation in the United States–South Korea relationship as well as opportunities for multilateral cooperation throughout the region.
