North Korean Regime Brands Defectors as ‘Human Scum’ Amid UN’s Human Rights Allegations
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

North Korea has launched a scathing response to the UN’s allegations of systematic human rights abuses, branding North Korean defectors who fled hardship as “human scum.” The fiery rhetoric follows a recent UN Security Council meeting where North Korea faced criticism for prioritizing its nuclear arms program over its starving population’s basic needs.

During the meeting, North Korean defector Ilhyeok Kim testified about forced labor and military control over food production. He lamented, “The government turns our blood and sweat into a luxurious life for the leadership and missiles that blast our hard work into the sky.” He emphasized that the money used for just one missile could feed the population for three months.

However, the North Korean response dismissed the meeting as an “insult and infringement” on the spirit of the UN Charter. Pyongyang denounced the UNSC’s focus on individual country’s human rights issues, asserting that the North Korean people are well aware of their situation and can assess it themselves.

The North Korean regime labeled defectors as “human scum,” accusing them of abandoning their homeland and loved ones to preserve their lives. The Security Council hearing was the first of its kind in six years and occurred as tensions escalated due to North Korea’s increased missile testing.

The country, under the multi-generational rule of the Kim family, enforces strict devotion to its leadership. The government controls all aspects of life and employs extensive surveillance. Despite widespread shortages of necessities, funds are channeled into the nuclear and missile program.

Experts argue that North Korea’s totalitarian system allows it to sustain its costly nuclear program by diverting resources from its hungry population. The state’s media is tightly controlled, with all information coming from state outlets that glorify the leadership.

Citizens face severe consequences for accessing international media. Internet access is limited to a select few, while most North Koreans remain offline. The country’s human rights abuses have drawn global condemnation, with the United Nations, European Union, and various human rights organizations criticizing the regime.

These are only a few of the problems faced by North Korea. If you come across other stories about the country, you might be filled with apprehension and amazement at how their citizens manage to survive. If you live in a nation where your rights are upheld, be thankful for it, as North Korean citizens aren’t fortunate enough to enjoy such freedoms.
