U.N. Expert Wants North Korea Held Accountable for Decades of Abductions
A United Nations human rights investigator on Monday recommended international pressure be put on North Korea to clarify the fate of hundreds of foreign nationals allegedly abducted over decades, mainly from Japan and South Korea. Marzuki Darusman, an independent expert, laid out the strategy in a report to the U.N. Human Rights Council and said that the International Criminal Court in the Hague was "competent for prosecuting these perpetrators". The report is due for debate next Monday at the 47-member forum where Japan and the European Union are also expected to present a resolution denouncing political prison camps and other crimes in North Korea and seeking renewal of Darusman's mandate http://bit.ly/1NBhhZ5 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
