NORK dips cause chaos at UN human rights panel
2015-05-01
[NY Post] UNITED NATIONS -- A US-organized event on North Korea's human rights briefly turned into chaos at the UN Thursday as North Korean diplomats insisted on reading a statement, amid shouts from defectors, and then stormed out.

The US ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, tried to quiet the North Korean diplomats at the event that featured more than 20 defectors.

The North Korean diplomats did not comment as they left the chamber after diplomat Ri Song Chol read out a statement in protest of the event, even as North Korean defectors stood and shouted in their faces.

Nuclear-armed North Korea has been on the defensive ever since a groundbreaking UN commission of inquiry detailed vast rights abuses there.
