SEOUL, 03 September 2022, (TON): Pyongyang on Friday accused the newly appointed UN special rapporteur on North Korean human rights of being a puppet of the US and making unpardonable reckless remarks against the regime.
The accusations came as the new rapporteur, Elizabeth Salmon, visited Seoul on her first trip since being appointed to the role last month.
Salmon, a Peruvian professor of international law, has had a series of meetings with South Korean officials and civic group members to discuss the situation in the North since arriving earlier this week.
An unnamed spokesman for North Korea’s foreign ministry said “we had already made clear our principled stand that we neither recognize nor deal with any ‘special rapporteur’ who is merely a puppet of the US.”
