Two legal experts called on the international community to bring human rights violations by the North Korean government before the International Criminal Court in a report released Thursday ahead of a session of the U.N. Human Rights Council.

In the report compiled by the U.N. special rapporteur on the human rights situation in North Korea, the two experts called "on the international community to continue efforts to seek accountability for crimes against humanity through the International Criminal Court."

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein named in September 2016 Sonja Biserko of Serbia and Sara Hossain of Bangladesh as part of a team to seek accountability for human rights violations in the isolated country.
