Andrew Neil has branded North Korea’s concerns over human rights in Australia “beyond parody” after representatives from the DPRK flagged a raft of abuses at a United Nations assembly.

Pyongyang’s UN ambassador Han Tae Song called on the country to end racism, cease inhuman treatment in detention centres and ensure the right of all to participate in elections during the meeting.

It comes as some 31 countries moved to condemn Canberra’s rigid immigration policy, which has seen migrants detained indefinitely in remote camps in places including Papua New Guinea and Nauru.

According to Human Rights Watch, more than 3,000 migrants have been relocated to these isolated locations since 2013.

China and other Beijing allies also levelled charges at Australia, along with nations including Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Spain, Poland, Portugal and Mexico.

North Korean Han Tae Song said his nation is “still gravely concerned about continued human rights violations in Australia, infringing upon international human rights law,” before making suggestions on how Australia could ease their concerns.

“First, to end deep-rooted racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia on the basis of ethnic, racial, cultural or religious background in the public sphere,” he said.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
