美国第一次把朝鲜领导人金正恩列入侵犯人权制裁名单上。
包括金正恩在内，美国这份黑名单上共有23个实体和个人。他们被列入这个黑名单的原因是他们各自在严重侵犯人权、追捕逃北者和朝鲜言论审查等方面所扮演的角色。
美国一名高层官员星期三宣布，“我们的报告已经确认了23个个人和实体，其中包括金正恩。我们认定，金正恩毫无疑问要对朝鲜当局的行为负有最终责任，包括朝鲜政权对自己的人民所采取的压迫性政策。”
美国国务院表示，朝鲜侵犯人权的现象在世界上是最糟糕的。许多践踏人权的行为都发生在政治犯集中营，估计那里拘押着八万至十二万人，包括被关押者的孩子和家人。
For the first time, the United States has put North Korea's leader on the U.S. sanctions list for human rights abuses.
Kim Jong Un is among 23 entities and individuals placed on Washington's blacklist for their role in serious human rights violations, hunting down defectors or censorship in North Korea.
“We have identified 23 individuals and entities in our report, one of those individuals is Kim Jong Un, we have made the judgment that he is rather plainly, ultimately responsible for the actions of his regime including its repressive policies towards his own people,” a senior U.S. official announced Wednesday.
The State Department said human rights abuses in North Korea are among the worst in the world. Many of these abuses are committed in political prison camps, where an estimated 80,000 to 120,000 individuals are detained, including children and family members of the accused.
