       U.N. report highlights 'unspeakable atrocities' in North Korea

       Hong Kong (CNN) -- A mother forced to drown her own baby and a
       prison camp inmate compelled to eat rodents and lizards just to
       survive -- these are some of the horrific experiences documented
       by a United Nations inquiry into human rights violations in
       North Korea.
       According to the man who headed up the study, examples of
       "unspeakable atrocities" collected to date suggest widespread
       abuses on a scale requiring an international response.
       "What we have seen and heard so far -- the specificity, detail
       and shocking character of the personal testimony -- appears
       without doubt to demand follow-up action by the world community,
       and accountability on behalf of the Democratic People's Republic
       of Korea," Michael Kirby, chair of the three-member commission
       of inquiry, told the U.N.'s Human Rights Council Tuesday.
       The remarks were contained in a draft report updating the
       council on the work of the commission, ahead of a final report
       to the U.N. General Assembly slated for March.
       Pyongyang has refused to cooperate with the investigation and
       rejects its validity.
       Kirby said the interim findings were based on testimony given at
       public hearings in Seoul and Tokyo last month, from sources
       including North Korean defectors, former regime officials,
       survivors of political prison camps, and the families of
       Japanese and South Koreans abducted by North Korean agents.
       "The individual testimonies emerging from the public hearings,
       of which these are just instances, do not represent isolated
       cases," he said. "They are representative of large-scale
       patterns that may constitute systematic and gross human rights
       violations."

       Arguments should be put to very good use.
