Importance? This affects the safety of travelling foreigners in North Korea. This can happen to any other country, which is why the world should pay attention to it. The U.S. does not want to create more tension between them and North Korea Analysts say North Korea has previously used detained Americans as leverage in its standoff with the U.S. over its nuclear and missile programs Some speculate this as being North Korea opening up a bit to restart nuclear negotiations with the U.S.

Critique Strengths: Good background information Many sources Victims and American Representatives Weaknesses: Quotes over powered the article and explanation of the event

Discussion To what extent should individual rights and freedoms, private property, and other classical liberal principles be protected when travelling abroad? To what extent should North Korea’s totalitarian regime be respected? What is America willing to do in order to free its citizens? How should other world powers get involved? Should America halt humanitarian efforts in North Korea?
