The Songdo international business district in Incheon is tipped as the likeliest location for a UN field-based office monitoring human rights in North Korea, according to the Chosun Ilbo.

However, North Korean human rights activists say the office should be in Seoul itself, for the sake of convenience and as a symbolic gesture.

The UN COI report recommended setting up a field-based office for further investigation on North Korean human rights abuses, and South Korea decided to open one by the end of the year.
