UN General Assembly Immediate release of victims of abduction Adopted a resolution for North Korea 6:24 on December 19

While the progress of the abduction issue is not visible, a resolution submitted by Japan to the North for the immediate release of the victims of the abduction was adopted at the United Nations General Assembly, and how the voice of the international community is connected to the pressure on North Korea. You will be asked again how to go.

Japan, along with EU = European Union, etc., proposes a resolution to North Korea for 15 years in a row to stop torture and serious human rights violations in camps and to provide accurate information and immediate release of all abductees Did.

This resolution was approved by more than 60 countries, and was voted at the UN General Assembly's plenary session on the 18th, following the last month's adoption by the UN General Assembly committee without voting.

Prior to the vote, North Korean Ambassador Kim Sung did not touch on individual human rights issues such as the abduction issue. I stood up without waiting for a vote.

Later, Chairman Muhammad Bande of the United Nations General Assembly declared the unvoted adoption.

North Korea ’s human rights issues were discussed at the United Nations Security Council for the fourth consecutive year under the leadership of the United States, but the Trump administration showed its priority to talk with North Korea. Nothing was done following last year.

For this reason, the question of how to connect the voices of the international community shown at the United Nations General Assembly to the pressure on North Korea will be questioned again.
