SEOUL. April 2 (UPI) -- North Korea on Thursday condemned a United Nations Human Rights Council resolution criticizing its human rights record, calling the measure a "grave political provocation" and a "fraud document" driven by hostile forces.
A spokesperson for the North's Foreign Ministry said the resolution, adopted earlier this week in Geneva, was "full of false data" and "totally distorted" the country's policies and reality.
"The DPRK Foreign Ministry brands the adoption of this anti-DPRK 'human rights resolution' as a grave political provocation to the dignity and sovereignty of the DPRK and denounces and rejects it in the strongest tone," the spokesperson said in a statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is the country's official name.
