Japan not drafting UN resolution on Pyongyang's human rights abuse

The Japanese government announced Wednesday it won't submit a North Korean human rights resolution to a U.N. panel this month as part of efforts for a quick resolution to the abduction issue.
It marks a break from more than a decade of Japan's practice of playing a leading role, along with the European Union, in the adoption of such resolutions against Pyongyang by the 47-member U.N. Human Rights Council.
Tokyo cited a review of all related circumstances, including the results of the Hanoi summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un last month.
"In the second North Korea-U.S. summit, there was a serious discussion on the abduction issue," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said at a press briefing.
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (R) meets Shigeo Iizuka (C), leader of a group of families of Japanese abducted by North Korea, Sakie Yokota (2nd L), the mother of Megumi Yokota, one of the Japanese abductees, and its members at Abe's official residence in Tokyo on March 30, 2018. AFP-Yonhap |
Japan says at least 17 citizens were abducted by North Korea decades ago. Five of them returned in 2002, while a dozen others remain unaccounted for.
Suga noted Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's statement that he is willing to sit down with the North Korean leader to resolve the problem.
As the families of the abductees continue to age, the government will act boldly to seize every opportunity to settle the issue, he added.
The 40th session of the U.N. council opened in Geneva on Feb. 25. Its member states plan to decide whether to adopt another resolution against North Korea for its chronic abuse of human rights next week. The meeting is scheduled to end March 22. (Yonhap)
