SEOUL, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- North Korea slammed the United Nations for its plans to discuss Pyongyang's human rights record, but lawmakers in Seoul are moving forward with a comprehensive North Korea human rights bill.
A North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said on KCNA on Thursday, "Hostile powers are planning to have a go at criticizing [North Korea] during the 30th regular session of the Human Rights Council," and that it is a "political maneuver aimed at overthrowing our regime," Yonhap reported.
