Recently the UN accused the supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea of "appalling human rights abuses against its own citizens" and "crimes against humanity with strong ressemblances to those committed by the Nazis". The UN came to this conclusion by collecting awful testimony all around the world. This intergovernmental organization warned Kim Jong-un that he could face trial at the international criminal court for the crimes against humanity. According to the report there are several similarities with the crimes committed by the Nazis. One of these is to use the burned bodies as fertilizer. North Korea rejected this report saying: "[the report] is a product of politicisation of human rights on the part of EU and Japan in alliance with the US hostile policy". Other abuses are mentioned in this report such as the lack of food which is used to take control over the population.
