groups show how much we want to understand the complexity of the matter, and the lack
thereof.
The DPRK sees that failures on behalf of the government to restraint growing radicalism within
its society as an underlying problem that needs an imperative solution. Any given opportunities
allowing the radicalization of an idea and/or opinion to take place inside the country will give a
better chance for extremists to develop. Collective supports of these groups could in time result
as a dangerous power which undermines the sovereignty of the state and legitimacy of the ruling
government. As a country that highly values nationalism and unity between the government,
society, and military, it is our utmost aim to preserve order for the public benefits. Incentives to
nurture patriotism in the heart of our citizens can be achieved through education as its medium.
The process needs to be inclusive, sustainable, and conducted on individual, community, and
national level as it is the true objective on any peace-building movements. The importance of
national loyalty and responsibility for public benefits will be the ideology which surpasses any
opposing radicalism or potential extremism.
PROPOSED ACTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
Violent extremism is a complex problem that requires complex solutions, of which education
could be one tool in countering violent extremism.2 However, first and foremost, we must
address the issue in a more holistic manner. Comprehensive analysis regarding the recruitment
process, psychological and social studies on the nature of those violent extremists needs to be
established to serve as grounds of policy-making which follows. Then, in incorporating strategy
of counter violent extremism in education system, there has to be a sustainable curriculum of
which the materials being taught are relevant, neutral, and evidence-based. More importantly, it
needs to be flexible and up for each state to decide adjustment of the materials, if it is felt
suitable or necessary to be coherent with national values. Enforcement of any political values
from external parties would not be accepted by the state. Only through this approach the
implementation of peace education can synergize with national interest. For a sustainable
conduct, all stakeholders in the peace education provision need to be well-equipped with an
adequate understanding of the issue. Capacity-building for teachers can be achieved through
seminars, conferences, and trainings. In regards to that, there has to be uniformity and coherence
between the government, schools, or any community-based teachings as to what values should
be imposed.

matter and that every states have different conditions will reduce the potential bias between
Member States. The key to a better approach to promote freedom of expression in a balanced
manner in all states is for the resolution to take the states condition and interest into account.
The basic principle of the rights of freedom of expression provision should be an equivalent
responsibility of all states. However, it should not violate each states supremacy and undermine
the legitimacy of its governance. All measures, including international intervention, which called
for accountability in the provision of rights by the state, should be based on the urgency to fulfill
peoples will in the DPRK as opposed to a political means by external parties to enforce their
idealism into our country. There also has to be clear limitations to ensure a responsible conduct
of freedom of expression, especially of speech, which becomes subject to abuse. A balance must
be struck between the ability of individuals to be unrestricted in the free expression of thoughts
and ideas, and the need to ensure that governments are able to efficiently carry out their function
of administration, law and order, and preserving the rights of individuals vis--vis each other.3
