An
assessment published by United Nations food
security assessment in the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea (also known as North Korea) has
found that following the worst harvest in 10
years, due to dry spells, heatwaves and flooding,
about 10.1 million people suffer from severe food
shortages, meaning they do not have enough food
until the next harvest. The assessment, which is
based on UN Food and Agriculture Organization and
World Food Programme missions to the country last
month and in November 2018, concluded that the
reduced harvest, coupled with increased
post-harvest losses, has led to an uncovered food
deficit of 1.36 million metric tons after
considering the commercial import capacity of the
country.

In
April, the Council of Europe published the twelfth
annual report on the supervision of the execution
of judgments and the decisions of the European
Court of Human Rights 2018. In total, in 2018, the
Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe
was able to close 2,705 cases and the total number
of cases pending before the Committee is currently
its lowest since 2006 and the total number of
cases pending before the Committee was 6,151 on 31
December compared to 7,500 cases pending at the
end of 2017. One of the principle reasons for the
high number of closures was the Committee’s
practice, in relation to complex and systemic
problems, of closing repetitive cases in which all
the possible individual measures needed to provide
redress to the applicant have been taken, while
continuing to supervise the general measures
required to remedy the underlying problem through
the optic of a few representative leading
cases.
