North Korea's foreign ministry on Thursday condemned the UN Human Rights Council's recently adopted annual resolution on its human rights record as a 'grave political provocation,' warning of consequences for critics. The response follows the Geneva council's consensus adoption of the measure on Monday, co-sponsored by 50 countries including South Korea.
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.
