"It is now time for the international community to move on with the logical next step which is pursuing accountability of the regime and those most responsible for violations of human rights in the country.

5.SOUNDBITE (English) Marzuki Darusman, UN Special Rapporteur for the situation of human rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea:
"We are closing in on the North Koreans and the nature of the regime is such that with total complete control of the system, nothing happens anywhere in that country without the say so of the highest supreme leader chairman of that country – Mr Kim Jong-un."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Marzuki Darusman, UN Special Rapporteur for the situation of human rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea:
"Therefore is by a way of having definitely, in a definitive way established that on reasonable grounds that crimes against humanity did take place, that this would then lead up to the final responsibility of the supreme leader."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Marzuki Darusman, UN Special Rapporteur for the situation of human rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea:
"If there is a story to be told about what is happening there in the country in a positive way than it would have to start and come from the DPRK itself, we cannot do it, the international community cannot start saying that, it has to come from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. And, we would accept it and recognise, that if were to be the case, if they come out with their side of the story that there has been transformation in the country, that perhaps it might be possible to adopt another approach, we are more than willing to recognise the validity of those views."

STORYLINE:
A UN special rapporteur on North Korea said on Monday in Geneva that the country's Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un should be investigated for crimes against humanity.
Marzuki Darusman said he wants a three-person group of experts to look into the legal aspects of criminal accountability.
Addressing the Human Rights Council, Darusman said international criminal law holds military and civilian leaders responsible for failing to prevent or repress crimes against humanity against those under their authority.
