North Korea has "the world's most advantageous human rights system,"
the country declared in a lengthy report released on Saturday.
Its political system
"bestows upon (its citizens) priceless political integrity." Its
economic system "ensures people an independent and creative working
life, as well as affluent and civilized living standard," according to a
report by the DPRK Association for Human Rights Studies.
The 53,000-word report -- which repeats the phrase "human rights" over 700 times -- paints a rosy picture of the country.
North Korea issued a
vehement defense of its human rights record, in response to a damning
U.N. Commission of Inquiry report, released in February. That report
criticized North Korea's authoritarian rule and said the state
"terrorizes" its own citizens.
