Comments

I'll let someone else take the peer review, but here are some comments in the meantime.

The lead is not a good summary of the article. It only talks about issues that are not discussed in the article body: access to information, UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, veterans' privileges, ideological context. These should be first discussed in the relevant sections of the article, with sources, and only then mentioned in the lead. Conversely, the lead currently does not summarize any of the material that is discussed in the article body: ICESCR & CRC, infanticide, social services, camps, sport.

There is nothing particularly wrong with the article text and sources, but the article could be expanded. UN sources are probably the most reliable, and it's good that they are used. But the most important one isn't here: there is a whole chapter on persons with disabilities in the Report of the Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ("Report of the detailed findings ..." A /HRC/25/CRP.1). I would scour UN sources with much greater care first, then venture into NGOs (Amnesty and HRW are probably best, HRNK does have a political stake in the matter but it's still okay), perhaps US State Department sources, academic scholarship (Google Scholar and Google Books), then pundit websites (NK News, Daily NK, etc.) Mainstream media sources should be at the bottom of the list: usable, but not ideal. There is room for expansion in every section and you can even write new sections. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 15:41, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for these excellent sources Finnusertop, I'll get onto the improvements within the next week or two - I'm a bit swamped with my academic work for the next few days. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:12, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
