(ECNS) -- China opposes the UN Security Council's consideration of the human rights situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), said Geng Shuang, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, at a session of the UN Security Council on Thursday. The human rights situation in the DPRK does not pose a threat to international peace and security, Geng said, adding that according to the UN Charter, the primary responsibility of the Council is the maintenance of international peace and security, not addressing human rights issues.
