The UN Human Rights Council in Geneva adopted this year's resolution on North Korea's human rights situation by consensus on Monday local time. Co-sponsored by South Korea and 49 other nations, the resolution strongly condemns systematic violations and urges immediate steps to end them. South Korea's foreign ministry noted its emphasis on dialogue, including inter-Korean talks.
The United States warned shipping companies they could face sanctions for payments to Iran to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The alert heightens pressure amid the US-Iran standoff over control of the vital waterway. South Korea's foreign minister urged safe navigation in a call with his Iranian counterpart.
