Takashi Okada, Permanent Representative of Japan:
"Japan remains deeply concerned with the long-standing and on-going systematic, widespread and gross
human rights violations in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea which were documented
in detail in the report of the Commission of Inquiry. The report of the Commission of
Inquiry submitted to this Council prior to this session underlines that these violations
in many instances constitute crimes against humanity, and at the impunity of the perpetrators."
Takashi Okada, Permanent Representative of Japan:
"Japan strongly believes that it is a duty of the international community, including
the UN to respond to the report in order to urgently address the situation."
So Se Pyong, Permanent Representative of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea:
"My delegation categorically and resolutely rejects the draft resolution L.17 entitled
"Human Rights Situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, submitted by the
EU and Japan. The EU and Japan have turned this sacred Human Rights Council into a stage
of political confrontation by enforcing the submission of the draft resolution in defiance
of the demand of a country for genuine dialogue and cooperation."
So Se Pyong, Permanent Representative of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea:
"The anti- DPRK human rights clamour which is now being escalated by the United States
and other hostile forces far beyond the limit based on the ground of fabrications is motivated
entirely by the intention of daring to undermine the ideology of the DPRK and eliminate its
social system."
