N. Korea Could Face Prosecution For 'Crimes Against Humanity'
An anonymous reader writes with this news from The Telegraph: "North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, has been warned that he could face prosecution for crimes against humanity after a United Nations inquiry accused him of some of the worst human rights abuses since the Second World War. In some of the harshest criticism ever unleashed by the international community against the Pyongyang regime, a UN panel branded it 'a shock to the conscience of humanity.' Michael Kirby, a retired Australian judge who has spent nearly a year taking testimony from victims of the regime, said much of it reminded him of atrocities perpetrated by Nazi Germany and Pol Pot's Cambodia. Yesterday his team published a 374-page report detailing allegations of murder, torture, rape, abductions, enslavement, and starvation, describing North Korea as a dictatorship 'that does not have any parallel in the contemporary world.' In a bid to put pressure on Kim Jong-un, 31, Mr Kirby has taken the unusual step of writing to the North Korean leader to warn him that both he and hundreds of his henchmen could one day face prosecution."

We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Send a fleet of C-130 Hercules filled with lawyers and drop them on Pyongyang at 10000 ft.
If that doesn't work send another fleet and drop more lawyers, but this time give them parachutes
Choose your allies carefully, it is highly unlikely you will be held accountable for the actions of your enemies
