U.N. investigator urges pressure on N Korea over abductions

Darusman called that reversal “deeply regrettable.”

is Darusman Japanese or something?

Most of the Japanese and many South Koreans they abducted were in the 70s to early 80s though and have lived their lives in the North now so if you want them returned you have to bring their children and grandchildren with them.

Maybe the 'Security' Council should be focusing on more pressing issues with the DPRK like their banned chemical and biological weapons factories? The intelligence agencies of most member nations have been well aware for years of the Kim clique's attempts to reanimate the Smallpox and Spanish Influenza viruses. Who cares about the nuclear bomb program when fatso already has the world's largest arsenal of sarin, tabun, ricin, and VX nerve gas and the missile delivery systems to render Seoul and Tokyo uninhabitable for centuries. The elephant in the room will probably be covered with anthrax and bubonic plague lesions by the time they get around to addressing this.

I find Japan's playing up of the abductions issue - when it hasn't fully acknowledged the WW2 sex slaves issue - to be somewhat hypocritical
