State of emergency. Drought a new u. N. Report out today reveals horrific brutality in north korea. This is the first report from a secret panel, testimony from hundreds of people, evidence of north korea abducting its citizens and citizens of other countries. Crimes against humanity. North korea l issued a statement that was denying. Ji hun park, public hearings ber peld on four cities in three continents. Many other witnesses asked for their identities to be withheld. There had been many investigations into human rights into north korea but never one as comprehensive as this. Getting a clear picture of what goes on in the secretive state where people cope with extreme deprivation and starvation is very difficult. The International Commission on inquiry finds there is massive repression, torture, execution, systematic rape and abduction of foreigners. Many of these count as crimes against humanity. All part of a planned system of political control. North koreas leader, kim jongun once executed his uncle, once the second most powerful man in the country and a number of other relatives. Kim, just age 31, took over from his father four years ago. The chairman of the commission on inquiry has written a letter to him. In it he has said the u. N. Would refer the situation to the democratic republic of korea, including possibly yourself who may be responsible for crimes against humanity. No one will be able to say in the future, if only wed known about north korea as they said after the second world war. If only wed known. Well now everyone will know and it will be available in our report and it is a wake up signal to the world. And hopefully, to the leaders in north korea. The commission of inquiry may want to see senior figures in north korea Face International justice, but it does not have the power to make that happen. This hard hitting report will be presented to the u. N. Human Rights Council in about a months time and they will then pass it to the u. N. General assembly but neither of those bodies have the power to refer it to the criminal court, only the connell has thasecurity cout to do that. And the u. S. Has china to defer.

There have even been reports to import Mercedes Benz vehicles from germany. High end musical equipment and dozens of pianos, according to the report, the spending rose to 645. 8 million just last year under ci kim jongun, as spent y his dad kim jongil, the previous spreed spree supremr of north crea. Embassy staff, stationed as they are around the world, north korea, according to the report, these people deal in drugs and sell ivory and also, amazingly, distribute booze around islamic countries, can you believe that. 2008 last year we have any records for this and that back then toirp was a third of all tony was a third of all of north koreas imports.
