SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea has accused the United States of attempting to overthrow the communist regime with a human rights law and warned of an "ultra hard-line" response if it does so, according to a North Korean news report on Saturday.
An unidentified delegate issued the warning before the United Nations General Assembly at U.N. headquarters in New York on Monday, said the report on North's Korean Central Broadcasting Station, a state-controlled radio station monitored by South Korea's Yonhap news agency. North Korean officials often make policy statements through state-run media.
The North Korean envoy protested against the North Korean Human Rights Act enacted by Congress last year that lets the U.S. administration spend up to $24 million a year to help improve human rights in the totalitarian country.
