Trump praises Kim for his talent to take North Korea and "run it tough"

Donald Trump commended North Korean leader Kim Jong Un following the historic summit in Singapore: "He is very talented.. anyone who takes over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run it and run it tough." https://cnn.it/2LIocDb

It is recommending prosecution of the country's top leaders by the International Criminal Court."

The police and security forces of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea systematically employ violence and punishments that amount to gross human rights violations in order to create a climate of fear that pre-empts any challenge to the current system of government and to the ideology underpinning it. The institutions and officials involved are not held accountable. Impunity reigns.

The commission finds that there is an almost complete denial of the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, as well as of the rights to freedom of opinion, expression, information and association.

It is a rigidly stratified society with entrenched patterns of discrimination... Discrimination is rooted in the songbun system, which classifies people on the basis of state-assigned social class and birth, and also includes consideration of political opinions and religion.
