人权观察组织说，国际社会应当利用星期三朝鲜创建者金日成诞辰之机，要求平壤停止长期以来的侵犯人权行为。
人权观察强调指出，朝鲜现任领导人金正恩的祖父金日成有系统地利用劳教、再教育中心、言论遏止和个人崇拜来建立专制政府。
人权观察亚洲部副主任罗伯逊说：“金日成将他的统治建立在残酷的人权侵犯、对独立声音的压制以及对经济和社会的控制的基础之上，从而导致了剥夺和最终大面积的饥荒。”
罗伯逊说，金正恩继续实行其祖父的政策，应当将他送交国际刑事法庭。
Human Rights Watch says the world should use Wednesday's anniversary of North Korea's founding president, Kim Il Sung, to demand an end to enduring abuses in the country.
The group highlighted the systematic way in which the grandfather of current leader Kim Jong Un used labor camps, reeducation centers, prohibitions on expression and the development of a cult mentality to establish an authoritarian government.
"Kim Il Sung based his rule on ruthless rights abuses, repression of independent voices, and economic and social controls that led to deprivation and ultimately widespread starvation," said Human Rights Watch Deputy Asia Director Phil Robertson.
He said Mr. Kim has continued his grandfather's policies and should be referred to the International Criminal Court.
