GENEVA (Reuters) – The United
Nations human rights investigator for North Korea called on Monday for
leader Kim Jong Un and senior officials in the country to be prosecuted
for committing crimes against humanity.
Marzuki Darusman told the U.N. Human Rights Council that
North Korea is devoting huge resources to developing nuclear and other
weapons of mass destruction while many of its citizens lack sufficient
food and others work in “slave-like conditions”.
“We are now at a crucial stage, therefore there is a
fundamental need for countries to make that next step in ensuring
accountability is undertaken,” he said.
The delegation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)
boycotted the session. The European Union, United States and Japan
supported Darusman’s call for accountability, although they did not
refer to Kim by name.
