News North Korean ambassador condemns annual UN resolution on human rightsResolution denounced as a product of "hostile forces that obsess with inveterate hatred against us"
The UN General Assembly (UNGA) adopted an annual resolution on Wednesday denouncing the condition of human rights in North Korea. The move comes with just two weeks remaining before North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s self-declared year-end deadline for new concessions from the U.S. arrives. Wednesday’s resolution is almost certain to infuriate leadership in Pyongyang, which frequently condemns outside criticism of its human rights record. The DPRK’s ambassador to the UN, Kim Song, said in a speech at the UNGA session that his delegation “totally rejects” the resolution, calling it a product of “hostile forces that obsess with inveterate hatred against us.” © Korea Risk Group.
