North Korea creates Kim Jong-il award

2. No, it wouldn't go to Kim Jong Un.

In fact, that would be considered gauche to give a domestic award to him at this point, strangely enough.

I imagine that the recipients of the Kim Jong il award will fit the profile of those who received the Kim il Sung prize over the years, like Cambodia's Sihanouk, but usually a host of lessor recipients like assorted peace activists, and political figures that are not necessarily left-wing, but have an associated with the Non-Aligned Movement.

North Korea has a small but active foreign policy among a sector of developing countries, including Cambodia, Indonesia, India, Nepal, Zimbabwe, and the nominally socialist countries like Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and China.
