Canada: North Korea

North Korea: The incident is another example of a trend that fuels the Harper government's disdain for the UN despotic, rights-abusing countries using the world body as a podium to bash their democratic critics, according to Times Colonist. The diplomat was responding to earlier criticism of North Korea by Canada and the United States at Wednesday's session of the UN's social, humanitarian cultural affairs committee and OTTAWA - North Korea, one of the world's worst human-rights abusers, used a United Nations committee this week to publicly denounce Canada's rights record. A North Korean diplomat called Canada a land of broken promises, saying Ottawa has no right to criticize others because it has been accused of mistreating immigrants, aboriginal women and children.
