UN Security Council discussing N. Korea's human rights
None
The UN Security Council has placed North Korea's bleak human rights situation on its agenda, a groundbreaking step toward possibly holding the nuclear-armed but desperately poor country and leader Kim Jong Un accountable for alleged crimes against humanity.
This appears to be the first time that any country's human rights situation has been placed on the agenda for ongoing debate by the UN's most powerful body. China and Russia protested the move.
