North Korea’s Kim Should Face Human Rights Trial, UN Says

North Korea has committed the worst crimes against humanity in modern history and leader Kim Jong Un should be tried by the International Criminal Court and held accountable, a United Nations commission said.

The country’s crimes include “extermination, murder, enslavement, torture, imprisonment, rape, forced abortions and other sexual violence,” the United Nations’ Commission of Inquiry into North Korea concluded in its final report published yesterday in Geneva. They found evidence that between 80,000 and 120,000 political prisoners remain in internment camps, a number that has fallen “owing to deaths.”
