요약정보: Mr. President‚
Seventy years ago‚ the United Nations was born to save humanity from the calamities of war and to protect human dignity and values.
Regrettably‚ however‚ the face of today’s world that the 70 year-old UN has been painstakingly looking after is a far cry from what its founders had envisioned.
Barbaric human rights violations such as torture‚ forced disappearance‚ racial discrimination and sexual violence remain rampant in all corners of the world. The horrors we are witnessing in Syria and Iraq are a challenge that poses a grave threat to humanity as a whole.
In order for the UN to overcome these challenges and leave a better world to our next generation in which the vision of the UN founders can be realized‚ it should retrace its steps back to the spirit of humanism.
(Strengthening Human Rights Mechanism)
In order to shape people-centered world‚ the UN system as a whole‚ not to mention the Human Rights Council which is the bastion for promoting and protecting human rights‚ should seek new changes.
First‚ all UN member states should double their efforts to eradicate the practice of impunity towards human rights violations and secure accountability. We should also take a human rights-centered perspective in addressing crises requiring the collective response of the international community‚ such as armed conflicts‚ Ebola epidemics and natural disasters.
Second‚ further efforts should be made to mainstream human rights across the whole spectrum of UN activities. In particular‚ it is critical to actively implement the Rights Up Front initiative of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in preventing human rights violations.
Third‚ more work needs to be done to enhance the efficiency of the management of the Human Rights Council. In this context‚ the initiative by the new President‚ Ambassador Joachim Ruecker‚ is timely. And we look forward to active and substantive discussions on the initiative.
In order to bring about such changes to the UN system‚ the central role of OHCHR is critical. I am confident that OHCHR will turn into a more robust and efficient institution‚ under the distinguished leadership of High Commissioner Prince Zeid.
(Human Rights Situation in the DPRK)
Mr. President‚
Last year‚ the international community took a meaningful step towards resolving a serious human rights problem whose resolution is long-overdue.
The Commission of Inquiry (COI) on human rights situation in the DPRK‚ established by the Human Rights Council‚ conducted an objective and independent study and concluded that there were grave‚ systematic and widespread human rights violations in the DPRK‚ and that many of them constituted ‘crimes against humanity’. The commission strongly urged the DPRK to take concrete and substantial measures to improve the human rights situation‚ including‚ among others‚ dismantling political prison camps.
Moreover‚ following the adoption of the resolutions reflecting the COI recommendations both at the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly‚ the UN Security Council adopted the situation in the DPRK as its formal agenda and decided to remain seized of the issue.
Taking this opportunity‚ I would like to pay my highest tribute to the dedicated efforts of the COI members‚ who contributed to disclosing the whole truth behind the human rights situation in the DPRK‚ and to the courage of the North Korean refugees who broke the imposed silence to give testimony about their painful past.
Mr. President‚
While listening to the statement of the Foreign Minister of the DPRK earlier this afternoon‚ as a fellow diplomat and descendent of the same blood‚ I couldn’t contain an overwhelming sense of sorrowful pity.
The Minister knows better than anyone else about the horrific human
