NK Blasts UN Resolution on NK Human Rights

North Korea is condemning the U.N. Human Rights Council for adopting a resolution denouncing the human rights conditions in the communist state.

In a statement released Monday, the North’s Foreign Ministry said the resolution was full of fabrications, claiming the European Union and Japan, which submitted the resolution, are plotting against the North by improperly politicizing the issue.

The statement also said countries who signed the resolution are effectively limiting their concern to human rights conditions in the North while remaining silent on human rights violations in countries like Iraq or Afghanistan.

Last Thursday, the 47-member U.N. council adopted the resolution by a vote of 26 to six with 15 abstentions.
