More than a decade after a landmark United Nations report found North Korea guilty of crimes against humanity, many abuses continue, a UN official has said.
James Heenan, who represents the UN high commissioner for human rights in Seoul, said that while North Korea has engaged more with some international bodies, it has tightened control over its population. Mr Heenan said he was still surprised by the continued prevalence of executions, forced labour and reports of starvation in the authoritarian country.
