North Korea says it rejects a resolution on the status of its human rights that was recently adopted by the U.N. Human Rights Council.
 
The North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency on Monday quoted a Foreign Ministry spokesman as saying his country never recognized the U.N. Commission of Inquiry (COI) on human rights to begin with. 
 
The spokesman called the commission a group of political impostors who are mere puppets of the U.S. and Western countries.
 
The spokesman claimed the U.S. and other hostile forces are finding ways to meddle in the North’s internal affairs and seeking to overthrow the North’s systems by making up stories on the North’s human rights situation.
 
The spokesman also said Pyongyang will firmly guard its socialist ideology and systems and sincerely implement its international obligations related to human rights.
 
Last Friday, the U.N. Human Rights Council adopted a resolution calling for justice on human rights violations in the North. The resolution contained follow-up measures to a report of the Commission of Inquiry on human rights in North Korea.
