Mick Wallace
Question:338. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade further to Question No. 267 of 28 March 2017, if he has raised the issue of China's classification of all Democratic People's Republic of Korea, DPRK, citizens fleeing the regime and entering illegally into China as economic migrants at the UN level or bilaterally with China, in view of the fact that this classification prevents the UNHCR from carrying out its work in determining the status of DPRK citizens as refugees and results in many DPRK citizens being sent back to a regime in which they face grave danger in violation of China's obligations of non-refoulement under the UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees 1951; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
