North Korea has criticized the European Union's draft UN resolution on human rights, calling it a 'farce' and a 'politically-motivated provocation', according to state media. The North's UN mission stated that the resolution 'flagrantly distorts the human rights policy and situation of the DPRK'. The EU's draft resolution is expected to be adopted by the UN General Assembly's Third Committee later this month. South Korea has decided to co-sponsor the resolution, marking the fifth consecutive year it has done so. The UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution condemning North Korea's human rights violations every year since 2005.
