North Korea: We have the 'most advantageous human rights system'
By Madison Park, CNN
September 15, 2014 -- Updated 0851 GMT (1651 HKT)
(CNN) -- North Korea has "the world's most advantageous human rights system," the country declared in a lengthy report released on Saturday.
Its political system "bestows upon (its citizens) priceless political integrity." Its economic system "ensures people an independent and creative working life, as well as affluent and civilized living standard," according to a report by the DPRK Association for Human Rights Studies.
The 53,000-word report -- which repeats the phrase "human rights" over 700 times -- paints a rosy picture of the country.
North Korea issued a vehement defense of its human rights record, in response to a damning U.N. Commission of Inquiry report, released in February. That report criticized North Korea's authoritarian rule and said the state "terrorizes" its own citizens.

Nothing but lies of course.
I guess leftists should believe it like they believe Cuba has the best medical care.

Let gays have their own parade in Pyongyang. We will find out soon enough about their commitment to human right.

Perhaps I’m dealing with an out-dated, 1st world-centered lexicon but I do feel, somewhat strongly, that any definition of “Affluent standard of living” should include measurable quantities of fats, protein and carbohydrates.
It’s just me, perhaps.

Well at least unlike the USA, their schools don't drum into their children's heads that their country is the lousiest to ever exist in history and that it would have been better had it never come into being at all.
Where are all the "children's rights" advocates when it comes to this form of inflicting self-hatred and "low self-esteem" on American children?
To: TigerLikesRooster
Just sickening. Starvation, concentration camps etc. are part of human rights in NK?
