North Korea Reacts to UN Report that Claims They Have Kidnapped 200,000 Foreign Nationals
The United Nations is once again highlighting North Korea abysmal human rights record which includes the kidnapping of up to 200,000 foreign nationals:
The UN Human Rights Council on Friday strongly criticised North Korea for the “systematic abduction” of foreigners, after a UN investigation found the country had snatched up to 200,000 foreign nationals.
The resolution, he told the council, was “intended to bring down the system and ideology” of his country.
The adopted text decried North Korea’s “systematic abduction, denial of repatriation and subsequent enforced disappearance of persons, including those from other countries, on a large scale and as a matter of state policy”.
A UN-mandated investigation issued a searing report in February 2014 accusing North Korea of committing human rights violations “without parallel in the contemporary world”, including the abductions of an estimated 200,000 foreign nationals from at least 12 countries.
Most of them were South Koreans left stranded after the 1950-1953 Korean War, but hundreds of others from around the world have since been taken or disappeared while visiting the secretive Stalinist state. [AFP]
You can read the rest at the link, but the report is timely since they have just kidnapped two more foreign nationals this past week.
Calm down N. Korea, you’re not the worst in the bunch. Israel is worse than you and they get all the love from American GOPers. I suggest N. Korea do worse in human rights, only then will they get more love from American republican politicians.
‘UN says Israel, not Iran, North Korea or Syria worst violator of human rights’
While Israel’s coalition talks are focusing on the state budget and drafting ultra-Orthodox men into the military, every future member of the next cabinet should be disturbed by the UN Human Rights Council’s report.
If anyone needed a reminder of Israel’s deteriorating standing on the international stage, they got one on Thursday in the report by the UN Human Rights Council’s fact-finding mission on the settlements.

“What country deserves more condemnation for violating human rights than any other nation on earth? According to the U.N.’s top human rights body, that would be Israel.
Last week, Israel was the U.N.’s number one women’s rights violator. This week it is the U.N.’s all-round human rights villain.
The U.N. Human Rights Council wrapped up its latest session in Geneva on Friday, March 27 by adopting four resolutions condemning Israel. That’s four times more than any of the other 192 UN member states.”
tbone, you should go to Pyongyang and spread the news! And you might even get in some “midnight basketball leagues” IYKWIMAITYD…
Of course, being that Iran and Syria each have a seat on the Death to Israel Committee, you might find skeptics here and there…
“you might find skeptics here and there…”
It’s not about me you ingrid(mean and hateful person), the UN stated the fact!!!
Is setnaffa is a wimpy follower? He couldn’t even watch the movie “It Follows” without wimping/walking out with his partner at his side. That means he’s neither a leader or a follower. He’s just a gutless ingrid.
