Episode 004: Tackling North Korean forced labor within the EU

Nomosphone: A Global Law Podcast

Forced labor is usually something that don’t expect to take place within the EU. Yet researchers of the Centre of Korean Studies at Leiden University have uncovered instances of North Korean forced labourers working in Poland. We interviewed the researchers in Leiden about their report, and spoke with Member of the European Parliament Agnes Jongerius to hear what they are doing about it. We thank researchers Remco Breuker and Imke van Gardingen, alongside with Agnes Jongerius, Member of the European Parliament, for their efforts in combating this issue and their participation in this podcast.
