"A report detailing brutal crimes against humanity in North Korea was released by a United Nations commission that urged the international community to take responsibility for protecting the people there.

"The fact that North Korea "has for decades pursued policies involving crimes that shock the conscience of humanity raises questions about the inadequacy of the response of the international community," the report states.

"The United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in North Korea, in its 400-page report and supporting documents released Feb. 17, cites "unspeakable atrocities" committed by the government against the North Korean people.

"'The gravity, scale and nature of these violations reveal a state that does not have any parallel in the contemporary world," the commission, established a year ago, said."
