MY OPINION
On August 20, 2013, the commission began five days of public hearings at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea receiving testimony from defectors,[18] and on August 29, 2013, in Japan from relatives of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s.[19][20] North Korea describes the inquiry as "a political plot" and it has not given investigators access to the country. The UN panel interviewed witnesses in South Korea, Japan, and the UK, and it also conducted hearings in the U.S. on October 30 and 31, 2013. The commission said it has consistently asked North Korean representatives to take part in the public hearings and question witnesses.On February 17, 2014, the panel published its findings in a 400-page report.[15] The commission accused the North Korean government of being involved in systemic, widespread and gross human rights violations. The panel chairman Michael Kirby described some acts by stating that they resembled those committed by the Nazis.In many instances, the violations of human rights found by the commission constitute crimes against humanity. These are not mere excesses of the State; they are essential components of a political system that has moved far from the ideals on which it claims to be founded. The gravity, scale and nature of these violations revealed a State that does not have any parallel in the contemporary world.Roberta Cohen, joint chair of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, said it was now up to the world community to take action to protect those persecuted and bring the perpetrators to justice. The DPRK rejected the findings. In a statement it said the commission was "a product of politicization of human rights on the part of the EU and Japan, in alliance with the US hostile policy." On November 18, 2014, the UN voted in favor of a draft resolution to refer North Korea to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity
THE TOP MODREB FEMALE WORLD LEADERS
When it comes to female leadership and empowerment, modern-day icons like Malala, Hillary and even Beyoncé are quick to come to mind. (Not to mention Emma Watson, Michelle Obama and "Lean In" coach Sheryl Sandberg.) Fortunately, there are a lot more female leaders out there than common knowledge may suggest; from trailblazing politicians to dedicated activists. Below are merely 21 of them.
1Angela Merkel
.MY OPINION
She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 and was released from house arrest in 2010. Today, she continues to vie for democracy in her country.
4Michelle Bachelet
Bachelet is the first woman to serve as Chile's commander-in-chief. Her calling to the political realm was an unfortunate one, since both she and her father were tortured and exiled under Augusto Pinochet's dictatorial rule. Bachelet was sworn into her first term in 2006, and has been generally well-praised, especially after her handling of the global economic crisis in 2008. To top it off, she's also a pediatrician.
