WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 -- Human Rights Watch issued the following report:
North Korean officials were asked recently what measures have been taken to address the UN Commission of Inquiry's 2014 findings that women forcibly returned from China had been abused and tortured. The delegation dismissed the findings as "unsubstantiated" and "politicized" like other, "anti-Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) human rights resolutions," adopted by the UN.
