UN panel recommend ICC prosecution against North-Korean leadership

North Korea’s leadership commits systematic and appalling human rights abuses on scales unparalleled in the modern world and crimes against humanity resembling those committed by the Nazis, a United Nations inquiry concluded today.

The report recommended that the UN refer the situation in North Korea to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The inquiry collected evidence from, over 320 people, including people that had escaped the country, and found that many of the crimes against humanity stem from state policies.
