North Korea claims sanctions threatens the survival of their children

All the world wants is for them to behave like a member of a civilized society.

September 21, 2017

Han Tae Song, Pyongyang’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, took advantage of a hearing by a UN committee on children to whine about how sanctions "seriously threaten" the health and well being of North Korea's children. What's ironic about the ambassador's warning is that the hearing he was testifying at was held to look into independent allegations of forced child labor, sexual abuse and trafficking in North Korea. Reuters: Han said North Korea, whose population is 26 million, is a “people-centered socialist country... where protection and promotion of the rights and welfare of the child are given top priority ... There is room for improvement.” But Han said that new sanctions imposed by the United States and the U.N. Security Council over North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile tests were hampering the production of nutritional goods for children and provision of textbooks. More

My Take - N. Korean leadership has been starving their people since 1948, and now their concerned.  Right!
