Before promoting human rights in North Korea, she had worked for the promotion of human rights in the Soviet Union and Cuba.〔 In 2011, Scholte, as the president of the Defense Forum Foundation and the North Korea Freedom Coalition, started a project called Operation Rising Eagle to rescue 15 North Koreans stranded in China, mostly orphans who had fled there. Although the operation proved unsuccessful, three of the youngest among the children were rescued and granted asylum in the United States as refugees in 2012. Scholte has since been lobbying with the U.S. government to expedite the process of providing asylum to North Korean refugees. Besides the Seoul Peace Prize and the Walter Judd Freedom Award, Scholte was also awarded the Order of Diplomatic Service Merit Sungnye Medal in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.defenseforumfoundation.org/about-dff/suzanne/56-suzanne-scholte-s-biography-of-work-for-north-korea-human-rights.html )〕 She is also the chairman and founding member of the North Korea Freedom Coalition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nkfreedom.org/About-Us/Public-Members.aspx )〕
