Even though the U.S. government passed a bill supporting North Korean refugees’ human rights, security and other issues create some difficulties in implementing this support. To overcome information and basic knowledge limitations, the U.S. government should cooperate with nonprofit organizations or nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and other governments in the world. This research is composed of four case studies based on media coverage and literature reviews, as well as semistructured interviews with NGOs’ officials, seeking to provide feasible and useful suggestions why NGOs are important for improving refugee policies and why the U.S. and other countries’ governments need to cooperate with such NGOs
