GENEVA, Feb 17(Reuters) - United Nations human rights investigators on Monday issued a damning report cataloguing massive human rights violations in North Korea that they said amount to crimes of humanity which should be brought to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The 372-page report is the result of a year-long investigation marked by unprecedented public testimony by defectors at hearings held in South Korea, Japan, Britain and the United States.

Kim Jong-un may be personally responsible for crimes against humanity, top U.N. investigator Michael Kirby said in a Jan. 20 letter to the North Korean leader that accompanies the report.

Here are some excepts from the report, to be debated by the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva on March 17:

SCOPE OF CRIMES

"Systematic, widespread and gross human rights violations have been and are being committed by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, its institutions and officials. In many instances, the violations of human rights found by the commission constitute crimes against humanity.

Actually, I think the burden of proof is on you, to provide a few Labour leaders who want the U.K. to be ruled by the likes of Stalin ::D::

Not at all!!!

I merely stated the fact that many of today's leading labour politicians were supporters of and card carrying members of communism in the past.

Which is true.

It was you who denied this reality.

And you also suddenly define communism as being a Stalin style dictatorship, while others on this thread have desperately tried to define communism as being anything else other than a Stalin style dictatorship, although historically, the only real examples of communism have been more or less exactly that.

So maybe you can tell us what version of communism was envisaged by the labour politicians when they were strong supporters of it back in the 70's-80's?
