"U.N. slams North Korea over human rights"
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/10/23/un.north.korea/index.html
According to information from a U.N. investigator, nearly 40% of people in North Korea are starving - 40%! But international aid is short, especially in a country with strict sanctions of its people and its interactions with other countries. The saddest part? The country actually has the resources to help its 9 million citizens go hungry, with a United Nations that would be more than willing to help, more natural resources than its southern neighbor, and exports last year equalling several billion dollars. In a country where women are highly discriminated against, where the topic of human rights just barely made it into their socialist constitution , where its not even legal to possess a computer, you'd think the least they could do is provide some food for their people. Keep this up, Kim Jong Il, and there won't even be any people left to govern.
