UN Resolution Slams N.Korean Human Rights Abuses
2013-12-22
The UN General Assembly on Wednesday adopted a resolution condemning human rights abuses in North Korea. The UN has adopted similar resolutions every year since 2005, and this year's was passed by consensus without the need for a vote, just like last year's.
Alas it was not a strongly worded resolution...
The UN expressed "very serious concern at the persistence of continuing reports of systematic, widespread and grave violations of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights."

The resolution calls for an immediate abolition of political prison camps and release of the inmates, and improvement of human rights conditions for defectors repatriated to North Korea.

The North Korean ambassador to the UN condemned to resolution and called the charges a "fabrication" concocted by "hostile forces."
