Скачать или смотреть UN committee passes resolution calling for N. Korea′s referral to ICC for crimes

We start with the big news out of New York that a UN committee has voted in favor of pushing to ensure the perpetrators of crimes against humanity in North Korea face justice.
The resolution now goes to a vote at a plenary UN assembly next month.
Hwang Ji-hye has the details.
A UN human rights committee approved the resolution on Tuesday... which calls for the Security Council to refer North Korea to the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity.
The resolution drafted by the European Union and Japan passed overwhelmingly... with the support of 111 countries.
Nineteen members opposed it... and 55 abstained.
The approval came despite last minute protests by North Korea and its allies.
Earlier in the day,... Cuba proposed an amendment that would have deleted some lines in the resolution that says North Korean leader Kim Jong-un should face the ICC.
The committee voted down that proposal.
The original EU-Japan drafted resolution will now be put to a vote at a plenary UN assembly in the coming weeks,... but while it mounts extra pressure on Pyongyang, it′s unlikely to actually bring about any tangible results in the criminal court.
Pundits say China and Russia, both veto-wielding permanent members of the Security Council,... will almost certainly use their power to stop the North Korean leader being targeted by prosecutors.
The two countries voted for the Cuban proposal,... while voting against the original one.
North Korea fired off some sharp warnings before Tuesday′s vote,... saying... the passage of the resolution would prompt it to conduct further nuclear tests.
The vote came after a UN investigative panel concluded in February... that officials in the North are responsible for systematic killing, torture and starvation.
