United Nations Human Rights Council Likens North Korea to the Nazis, North Korean Representative Slams Leaves in Anger
Global Times consolidated report — At the 25th United Nations Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva, the North Korea Human Rights report published by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in North Korea incited fierce controversy. Because the authors of this report did not actually enter North Korea to conduct on-scene investigations but instead used the “accusations” of over 80 “North Korean refugees” and the reports of anti-North Korean media to arrive at its conclusions, its credibility suffered many questions/much skepticism. The North Korean Human Rights Commission of Inquiry chair Michael Kirby “compared North Korea to Nazi Germany” during his speech on the 17th, triggering a fierce counterattack from North Korea [representative]. North Korea’s permanent United Nations representative in Geneva believes this [the report] was complete nonsense by the United States and other hostile forces/countries. An official of North Korea’s consulate in China accepted on the 18th an exclusive interview with this Global Times journalist and rebutted that the United States immediately stop the “human rights uproar” component of its new hostile policy towards North Korea, and that “before commenting and criticizing other countries, it should first look at its own situation, and first wipe its own butt [take care of its own problems]”.
Yonhap reports on the 18th that at the United Nations Human Rights Council held in Geneva, Switzerland on the 17th, the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in North Korea chair Michael Kirby was first to speak. He defined North Korea’s human rights situation as “crimes against humanity”, and likened North Korea to “Nazi Germany, South African Apartheid, Cambodia Khmer Rouge”, demanding that North Korea immediately improve its human rights situation. Kirby also demanded that China immediately stop repatriating “North Korean refugees”, and “appropriately protect them”.
Just as Kirby’s voice stopped, China’s permanent representative to the United Nations immediately rebutted, arguing that the report was full of unreliable assertions, and raised the the contents were extremely different from reality. China’s representative said the committee didn’t even visit North Korea and only relied on the so-called “testimony” of certain “North Korean refugees” in drafting this North Korean human rights report, which will not benefit peace and stability on the Korean peninsula. The North Korean permanent representative to the United Nations, So Se Pyong, who next spoke also expressed that the content concerning the condition of human rights for North Koreans are “complete fabrications”, that hostile forces lead by the United States are the ones who should be the target of investigations, that the North Korean government has never recognized this committee’s investigation, and resolutely opposes the committee’s fabricated report.
Yonhap claims, after briefly criticizing North Korea, the Japanese deputy representative gave the floor to “Japanese Association of Families of Victims Kidnapped by North Korea” representative Shigeo Iizuka. North Korean representative So Se Pyong immediately slammed the table and demanded if Shigeo Iizuka was allowed to speak. When the chairman of the council indicated that he was allowed to speak, So Se Pyong angrily left in protest.
With regards to the North Korean human rights report, United Nations Human Rights Council was sharply divided into two opposing factions. The South Korean representative strongly expressed support, with the representatives of countries such as the United States, France, Ireland, Vietnam, and Portugal expressing support soon afterward. However, countries such as Iran, Syria, Cuba, and Venezuela criticize the report for using double standards.

The Nazi’s at least were just persecuting Jews, whereas the people North Korea is slaughtering are all of its own ordinary common people [citizens]. In comparison to North Korea, what the Nazis did was just child’s play.

In the world, there’s actually only two factions, one that supports a fair and free separation of powers system, and one that approves of an authoritarian system where the minority enslaves the majority; one believes in principles, while the other believes in interests!!!

The Nazis after all still respected their own country and their own people, unlike now a certain authoritarian country, who only treats its people as tools for government and personal benefit.

North Korean is more like the Soviet regime, even more frightening than the Nazis! More ruthless to its own than towards outsiders! There are still many gulags within North Korea.

But the Nazis weren’t cruel to their own countrymen, right?
