'N. Korea Voted Opposite US the Most At UN Last Yr'

Radio Free Asia said Tuesday that North Korea voted opposite the United States the most at the United Nations last year. 
 
The U.S. State Department recently submitted a report to Congress titled "Voting Practices in the United Nations 2013.”
 
The report showed out of 84 plenary votes held at the UN General Assembly last year, North Korea voted differently than the U.S. 52 times, the highest number among the 192 UN member nations.
 
Radio Free Asia noted Pyongyang voted opposite the U.S. or abstained in eleven votes directly related to the U.S. government. 
 
Michael Ineichen, spokesman for the Geneva-based group International Service for Human Rights, said the U.S. and North Korea conflicted most often in UN General Assembly votes on issues of human rights and nuclear weapons.
 
RFA says North Korea is among the four countries that objected the most to global agendas agreed at the UN. The other three are Chad, Comoros and Haiti.
