North Korea at the Paralympics

North Korea made its Paralympic Games début at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, sending a single wildcard representative (Rim Ju Song, a left arm and left leg amputee) to compete in swimming.〔("Swimmer set to be first North Korean competitor at the Paralympic Games" ), ''The Independent'', 5 July 2012〕
==Context==
While South Korea has been taking part in the Paralympics since 1968, the North long ignored the Games. In the early 21st century, it was reported that persons with disabilities in North Korea (with the exception of veterans) were locked away in camps, and "subjected to harsh and sub-human conditions".〔("North Korea locks up disabled in 'subhuman' gulags, says UN" ), ''The Daily Telegraph'', October 21, 2006〕 Vitit Muntarbhorn, the United Nations' special rapporteur on human rights, reported in 2006 that North Koreans with disabilities were excluded from the country's showcase capital, Pyongyang, and kept in camps where they were categorised by disability. Defectors reported the existence of "collective camps for midgets", whose inmates were forbidden from having children.〔("UN slams Korean 'disabled camps'" ), ''The Age'', 22 October 2006〕 However the charity Handicap International reports that it has been operating in North Korea since 1999 assisting the Korean Federation for the Protection of Disabled People, and the International Committee of the Red Cross reported in 2006 that it had assisted in setting up a rehabilitation centre for disabled people in Pyongyang.
By 2008, the United Nations reported that the government was "beginning to consider welfare for the disabled".〔("North Korea begins to help disabled" ), UNHCR, March 5, 2008〕 Yahoo news reported in 2012 that a Paralympic cultural centre exists in Pyongyang.
