“Protecting people around the world is an integral part of the UN Charter and an important responsibility of the Security Council. And that means holding the DPRK regime accountable for its human rights abuses and violations. We know the government's human rights abuses and violations facilitate the advancement of its unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles program. The Council must address the horrors, the abuses and crimes being perpetrated daily by the Kim regime against its own citizens and people from other Member States including Japan and Republic of Korea. We must stand up to those who rightfully deserve to exercise their human rights and fundamental freedoms.”
