The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Monday denounced the adoption of an anti-DPRK resolution at a recent UN Human Rights Council session, the official KCNA news agency reported.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman said the adoption of the resolution was a "political swindle" conducted by the United States and its followers every year, according to the KCNA.
"The DPRK decisively rejects the adoption of the resolution, a product of their inveterate denial and hostile policy toward the Korean-style socialist system centered on the popular masses, as the height of politicization and selection of human rights and double standards," the spokesman was quoted by the KCNA as saying.
Noting those forces would "surely face a stern punishment by history" as they abuse the noble conception of human rights for their sinister political supremacy, the spokesman said the more viciously the hostile forces slander the DPRK, the more DPRK people would stick to the Songun politics, the banner for defense of its sovereignty and prosperity.
On Thursday, the UN Human Rights Council adopted a resolution put forward by the European Union and Japan, which voiced deep concern at "grave, widespread and systematic" human rights violations in the DPRK.
