North Korea's leadership is committing systematic and appalling human
rights abuses against its own citizens on a scale unparalleled in the
modern world, crimes against humanity with strong resemblances to those
committed by the Nazis, a United Nations inquiry has concluded.
.
The UN's commission on human rights in North Korea, which gathered
evidence for almost a year, including often harrowing testimony at public
hearings worldwide, said there was compelling evidence of torture,
execution and arbitrary imprisonment, deliberate starvation and an almost
complete lack of free thought and belief.
.
The chair of the three-strong panel set up by the UN commissioner on human
rights has personally written to North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, to
warn that he could face trial at the international criminal court (ICC)
for his personal culpability as head of state and leader of the military.
.
"The commission wishes to draw your attention that it will therefore
recommend that the United Nations refer the situation in the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea [the formal name for North Korea] to the
international criminal court to render accountable all those, including
possibly yourself, who may be responsible for the crimes against
humanity," Michael Kirby, an Australian retired judge, wrote to Kim.
.
At a press conference to launch the report, Kirby said there were "many
parallels" between the evidence he had heard and crimes committed by the
Nazis and their allies in the second world war. He noted the evidence of
one prison camp inmate who said his duties involved burning the bodies of
those who had starved to death and using the remains as fertiliser.
.
"When you see that image in your mind of bodies being burned it does bring
back memories of the end of world war two, and the horror and the shame
and the shock," Kirby said. "I never thought that in my lifetime it would
be part of my duty to bring revelations of a similar kind."
.
Holding up a copy of the report, Kirby said other nations could not say of
North Korea, as happened with the Nazis, that they did not know the extent
of the crimes: "Now the international community does know. There will be
no excusing a failure of action because we didn't know. It's too long now.
The suffering and the tears of the people of North Korea demand action."
.
Asked how many North Korean leaders and officials could ultimately be held
responsible, Kirby said it could reach the hundreds.
