We're not entirely sure what you mean by "report".
If you mean why they don't bring lawsuits against people in other countries, that's a very complicated issue because it would depend on the laws in each specific country.
For example, many countries require the parties to be present in court or to testify, which would mean the victim (one of the members) would have to go to that country and possibly be there for month while the trial is happening.

Also, any type of threats or defamation conducted online has additional challenges because to sue someone you have to know who they are and countries have different laws that protect that info and make it difficult for individuals to find out the real name of their defamer.
+
South Korea is unique in that it is one of the few countries that has both civil defamation (a lawsuit) and criminal defamation (an offence that is investigated by the police).
Other countries, such as Canada and the US only have a civil suit of defamation.
+
Basically, deciding to move forward with any kind of action is very complicated and requires a lot of time, effort and money on the part of the plaintiff. It is not something to be entered into lightly.
+
If by "report" you meant why they don't provide updates or more information on what steps they are taking, then there are legal reasons why they either cannot or should not do so.
+
Again, it depends on the laws of each country and some laws restrict the amount and type of information that can be shared.
Another factor is the credibility of evidence. In general, it is inadvisable to discuss evidence before it has been presented in court.
+
The other side could argue that the witnesses only knew of this information because it was publicly discussed and not because they experienced it directly.
This can lower the credibility of your witnesses and create doubt, which increases the chances that you'll lose.

We also previously did a thread explaining what defamation is:
In countries with a common law legal system (such as the US and Canada), there are generally three types of homicide charges, manslaughter, 2nd-degree murder or 1st-degree murder. In some states, there is also 3rd-degree murder.

*In this thread, we will be referencing general laws as well as those from Minnesota specifically. However, please be aware that there are variations in these laws depending on the state or country in which the alleged crime occurred.
+
Manslaughter is generally when a person acts in a way that causes the death of another person without the intention to cause death.
Hey ARMY, we’re seeing a lot of angry and upset tweets at the publication released, so let’s talk about what defamation actually is. Keep in mind this is not legal advice! If you need legal advice, please engage your own attorney. Our tweets are FYI only. A THREAD! 1/20
The fine details of defamation law change from country to country; this thread explains defamation in a common law context, meaning, in a legal system originally based on English law. We will comment from a North American POV, since it was published by a US magazine. 2/20
Defamation occurs when a person’s words cause harm to another person’s reputation or their career. It includes slander, where the defamation is spoken, and libel, where the defamation is printed or published. 3/20
