North Korea has voiced opposition to an upcoming United Nations Security Council meeting about its human rights record, accusing the United States of advancing its own agenda by leading the effort.On Tuesday, North Korea’s Vice Foreign Minister Kim Son Gyong called plans for the open meeting, scheduled for Thursday, “despicable”. China, which has close ties to North Korea, also spoke against the meeting.“China sees no added value for the council to have such a meeting and will be against it,” China’s UN mission spokesperson said earlier this week, adding that the council’s mandate was “maintenance of international peace and security, not human rights”.
