United Nations Human Rights Council resolved the North Korean human rights resolution by vote without a vote at the 43rd meeting held at the Geneva office last night (22nd) of our time.

The UN Human Rights Council says the resolution is deeply concerned about North Korea's organized, widespread and serious human rights abuses.

North Korea's leadership urged to prevent and deter crimes against human rights and prosecute and prosecute abusers.

In particular, he pointed out that the human rights situation in North Korea would have deteriorated under the influence of Corona 19.

Our government has also joined the adoption of the agreement.

However, this year after last year, he did not participate in the co-suggestion of the draft resolution.

The government said that the basic position of working with the international community to make human rights of North Koreans practically improved remains unchanged, but that it did not participate in the joint proposal due to the special circumstances of inter-Korean relations.

North Korea recently cited US black human rights protests and said the Human Rights Council rejected the resolution, saying it should pay attention to the human rights situation in Western countries.
