North Korea to boycott UN rights council
2 March 2016 Asia
North Korea has said it will no longer take part in UN Human Rights Council session examining its rights record.
Foreign Minister Ri Su-yong accused the council of "politicisation, selectivity and double standards" and of "singling out" North Korea for criticism.
The UN council has repeatedly criticised North Korea over its treatment of its citizens.
The move is likely to further isolate North Korea, which is due to face new sanctions.
