N Korea leaders should face trial for crimes against humanity: UN

North Korea’s leadership should be held criminally responsible for egregious human rights abuses, a UN envoy said on Friday. The United Nations has slammed the isolated nation for rights violations, detailing what it described as horrific abuses, including state-sponsored abductions, in a 2014 report. Marzuki Darusman, the UN special envoy for human rights in North Korea, told reporters it is “imperative to pursue criminal responsibility” of the country’s leaders to improve rights. But Darusman added that he could not currently say who among the country’s top officials bears such responsibility.
