WASHINGTON, March 22 (Yonhap) -- The U.S. government said Friday that the creation of an independent U.N. body to look into North Korea's human rights abuses reflects the international community's interest in the problem.
"The United States commends the U.N. Human Rights Council for establishing an independent commission of inquiry (COI) to investigate North Korea's grave, widespread, systemic human rights violations," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said at a press briefing.
