North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency says the North’s delegation to the UN fully rejected a resolution on the North’s human rights that was passed at the UN Third Committee on Tuesday.
 
The report said the North’s delegation claimed at the meeting of the UN committee that U.S.’s hostile policies toward the North were behind the European Union and Japan, which drafted the resolution. In particular, the delegation said the North cannot help but notice with importance the fact that the U.S. had its followers label the North as a country having committed crimes against humanity.  
 
The delegation stressed that the U.S. and its followers’ latest move to push for the resolution makes the North not want to further refrain from conducting nuclear tests, calling the pursuit toward the resolution tyrannical and wicked.
 
The delegation added that it will not, by all means, tolerate hostile forces’ attempts to use human rights issues as a way to overturn the North’s system and vowed to sternly respond to such attempts.
