UN Vote Puts DPRK Back In The Spotlight

                                       Mr. Kim ( KCNA)

The United Nations General Assembly Human Rights Committee voted (119-19) on November 19th to refer North Korea to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

The DPRK’s allies, Cuba, China and Russian voted against the draft resolution. Before the resolution could be sent to the World Court, it would have to have the United Nations Security Council approval, and observers say that there is little chance for the resolution to be approved. The question is how the North will react to the UN resolution? Will it be seen as an insult, or a provocation, or an excuse to continue its nuclear program? Will the North react with an “incident” like the capture of a vessel, shelling the South, or increasing its propaganda efforts? Log in and give us your thoughts on this question.
