UN: North Korea won't cooperate with rights probe
None
The head of a UN human rights probe says he can't get answers from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Michael Kirby, who heads the UN commission examining North Korea's human rights record, said Tuesday that his July 16 letter to the leader hasn't been answered.
Kirby, a former judge in Australia's highest court, told the UN Human Rights Council that the commission it created in March nonetheless gathered testimony from dozens of victims and experts at public hearings in Seoul and Tokyo last month that has "given a face and voice to great human suffering."
