North Korea has been accused of letting its people go hungry as it devotes ever more resources to developing its nuclear weapons programme and upgrading its military.
UN human rights chief Volker Turk told the United Nations Security Council at a special meeting on human rights in North Korea that the country’s people were experiencing increasingly severe political repression and worsening economic conditions.
Many rights abuses, including forced labour and child labour, “stem directly from, or support, the increasing militarisation” of North Korea, he told the council on Thursday. Turk’s comments were supported by Elizabeth Salmon, the UN independent human rights expert on North Korea, who said the country’s leaders had repeatedly demanded citizens “tighten their belts” to the point of starvation in some cases, “so that the available resources could be used to fund the nuclear and missile programmes”.
The Security Council session, requested by the United States, Albania and Japan, was the first in the Security Council on the issue for six years and comes as Pyongyang accelerates its weapons development programme, testing intercontinental ballistic missiles and attempting to put its first military spy satellite into orbit.
“The government turns our blood and sweat into a luxurious life for the leadership and missiles that blast our hard work into the sky,” said Kim, who is now in his late 20s.
“The money spent on just one missile could feed us for three months, but the government doesn’t care and is only concerned with maintaining their power, developing nuclear weapons and creating propaganda to justify their actions,” he added.
