North Korea\u27s Treatment of Foreign Political Prisoners in the Trump Era
This paper analyzes foreign political prisoners’ treatment in North Korea during Donald Trump’s presidency. This subject is of particular interest given the widespread media attention the Trump Administration received following detained student Otto Warmbier’s return to the United States in June 2017 and historic Singapore summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Moreover, such U.S.-North Korea relations are particularly crucial given North Korea’s strong nuclear capabilities and designation as a totalitarian country. Using the Otto Warmbier story as the primary case study as well as public opinion analysis, bar association reports, official testimony, and commentary on international human rights law, this paper provides empirical research evaluating whether foreign political prisoners’ treatment has changed during the Trump presidency and what motivations are present for maintaining the circumstances affecting human rights in North Korea. The research presented in this paper finds the existing state of affairs prohibits foreign political prisoners from receiving improved treatment in North Korea; Kim’s release of foreign prisoners such as Warmbier is merely to maintain appearances in the public eye and manipulate the Trump Administration. Moreover, as Trump Administration’s approach to North Korea is marked by unpredictability, such conditions are unlikely to improve given his volatile rhetoric and capacity to anger Kim Jong-un’s regime
Putting Historic Marietta on The Map: This Place Matters! The National Trust for Historic Preservation and Economic Revitalization
In the spring semester 2019, Honors students enrolled in Professor Jean-Paul Benowitz’s course, Honors History 201 Elizabethtown History: Campus and Community, engaged in a Community Based Learning project, a collaboration between Elizabethtown College and RiverStewards, Inc., conducting research to contribute to the Susquehanna Heritage, Inc.’s nomination of the Susquehanna Riverlands as a National Heritage Area. A National Heritage Area designation will give the Susquehanna State Heritage Area access to federal funding and assistance from the National Park Service. The students conducted NHPA Section 106 Reviews of historically significant properties in the Marietta Historic District and the Chickies Historic District. The students published their findings online through an ArcGIS map. The students presented their findings at Scholarship and Creative Arts Day (SCAD) at Elizabethtown College on Tuesday 16 April 2019 and at Marietta Day on Saturday 11 May 2019 in Marietta. One of the students in the class, Kyle C. Cappucci, expanded the project for Summer Scholarship, Creative Arts, and Research Projects (SCARP) in the summer of 2019. Cappucci broadened the Community Based Learning project to include Marietta Restoration Associates, Inc.; RiverStewards, Inc.; Rivertownes PA USA, Inc.; and Susquehanna Heritage, Inc. Cappucci expanded the scope of the map beyond historical significance to illustrate the contemporary significance of Marietta. Cappucci presented his scholarship to the Marietta Borough Council meeting on Tuesday 9 July 2019 and to the general public at the Marietta Community House on Wednesday 17 July 2019. His presentations entitled: “Putting Historic Marietta on The Map: This Place Matters!” illustrated how the scholarship by the Honors students at Elizabethtown College can bring positive attention to the Marietta Historic District, the Chickies Historic District, and the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail. To this end, Cappucci suggested the Marietta Restoration Associates, Inc. take the lead in launching a historic preservation awareness campaign created by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, called “This Place Matters!”
In the spring semester 2020, Honors students again enrolled in Professor Jean-Paul Benowitz’s course, Honors History 201 Elizabethtown History: Campus and Community, to continue their research and contributing to the Susquehanna Heritage, Inc.’s nomination of the Susquehanna Riverlands as a National Heritage Area. The students conducted NHPA Section 106 Reviews of historically significant properties in the Marietta Historic District and the Chickies Historic District. Cappucci published their findings online through two different ArcGIS maps. The students presented their findings at Scholarship and Creative Arts Day (SCAD) via Zoom on Tuesday April 21, 2020. Kyle Cappucci expanded the project for Summer Scholarship, Creative Arts, and Research Projects (SCARP) in the summer of 2020, continuing his research from the summer of 2019. The overall goal of this Summer Scholarship, Creative Arts, and Research Project for 2020 was to get the “This Place Matters: Marietta” Campaign up and running
