A/HRC/27/10 53. Finland asked how the country would ensure universal access to food, particularly for marginalized groups. It encouraged the country to cooperate with human rights mechanisms to address violations. 54. France noted that the report of the commission of inquiry contained a full description of the dramatic human rights situation in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. 55. Germany expressed hope that the country would seriously consider the recommendations presented in the review, and remained deeply concerned about a wide range of issues. 56. Ghana commended steps towards the implementation of some recommendations accepted during the first UPR, including signature of CRPD. 57. The delegation expressed its view that the creation of the “commission of inquiry” was motivated by reasons other than human rights. The purpose of its mission was to defame the country and ultimately eliminate the ideology and social system chosen by its population. The “report” of the commission contained fabrications and constituted a manifestation of politicization, selectivity and double standards that ran counter to the principles of the Human Rights Council. Therefore, the Government had rejected the “commission”, its “report” and the consequent “resolution”. 58. With regard to Songun politics, the delegation stated that safeguarding national sovereignty provided a guarantee for the enjoyment by people of their human rights. The right to life was the foremost issue in guaranteeing human rights and of great importance to the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, who had been exposed, for more than half a century, to persistent military threats by hostile forces. Songun politics served to safeguard national sovereignty and had prevented the outbreak of war, making it possible to attain tangible achievements on the economic front. 59. The delegation stated that alleged discrimination based on social classification of people was unimaginable in the country, where all people were the masters of the State and society, and noted that equality was guaranteed by the Constitution and in practice. 60. It was reiterated that “political prison camps” did not exist and were a complete fabrication. Those persons sentenced to the penalty of reform through labour under the country’s Criminal Law served their terms in reform institutions. 61. The Constitution also guaranteed freedom of religion; the State respected the religious life and ceremonies of religious people and ensured the freedom to set up churches and other religious buildings. 62. Freedom to travel was fully guaranteed both by the Constitution and the law. Persons in the country could travel abroad after complying with the necessary formalities. People were free to travel anywhere within the country, with the exception of the front lines and areas with military installations, where one could travel after obtaining permission. 63. It was also reiterated that freedom of expression was a fundamental human right protected by law. The people in the country freely expressed their views through the radio, newspapers and magazines. Any violation of those rights was subject to legal punishment. 64. Greece condemned the atrocities and ongoing grave human rights violations in the country, which amounted in many instances to crimes against humanity. 65. Hungary asked about the nature of the acts for which the death penalty could be imposed and about the number of executions. It expressed concern regarding torture in prison facilities. 7
