Kim Jong Un and Hua Chunying

Hua Chunying: Hua Chunying, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, called the report "unreasonable criticism," raising questions as to whether Beijing will use its U.N. Security Council veto power to block any action on the matter. , according to Hamilton Spectator. The report to the U.N. human rights panel is viewed by rights activists not only as the most detailed and authoritative body of data on the state of human rights in North Korea, but also as a milestone in the international debate on one of the world's most reclusive and isolated countries. Chinese officials on Tuesday criticized a United Nations report that served notice to Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader, that he may be personally held liable in court for crimes against humanity committed by state institutions and officials under his direct control. "We believe that politicizing human rights issues is not conducive toward improving a country's human rights," Hua said. "We believe that taking human rights issues to the International Criminal Court is not helpful to improving a country's human rights situation." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
