Do the citizens in North Korea have their rights?



North Korea is practising the command system.



Command system is also known as socialism and communism where the government answered all the basic questions. Basically, the government determines what goods should be produced, how much should be produced and at what price the goods will be offered for sale. The government  assumes that they owns the capital, labour and natural resources. Government will decides what is good for the economic and the market forces or firm have no control of it.


Because of that, someone feel that North Korea is notorious for its utter disregard of basic human rights.



Currently, The North Korean government’s release is titled, “We will destroy Imjingak, in its entirety,” The North Korea threatens to kill human rights group just because of attempt to launch balloons full of supplies from South Korea into North Korea on Saturday.



In my opinion,  the advantages of practising command system are more public goods will be provided, high level of savings and capital accumulation, distribution of wealth is equal and so on. The disadvantages are high cost in planning and no incentive to innovate.
