Article from Chosun Ilbo April 15, 2003 http://english.chosun.com/This is the way the South stands up to the North. Ain't it just great. Seoul to Skip Human Rights Vote by Kwon Dae-yeol (dykwon@chosun.com) Foreign Minister Yoon Young-kwan will be absent Wednesday when the United Nations Commission on Human Rights votes on a resolution to censure North Korea for its human rights violations. Yoon's decision indicates that Seoul will abstain from the vote. Yoon explained at the National Assembly's Unification, Foreign Affairs and Trade Committee that the situation on the Korean peninsula and the strategic implications of such a resolution must be considered. The resolution was submitted by the European Union on April 10. This is the first time a resolution on the North Korean human rights issue will be put to vote. Posted by: Michael 2003-04-15 |
