SEOUL—North Korea on Saturday lashed out at the United Nations for accusing the Pyongyang regime of widespread systematic human rights
violations and called North Korean defectors who had escaped from hardships “human scum”, according to state media.
Ilhyeok Kim, a North Korean defector, told the council that he had been forced at a young age to work in fields without compensation, and that the grain they grew all went to the military. Pyongyang “strongly denounces and rejects the UNSC for having haggled about the human rights situation in an individual country,” the spokesman said.
