Now We'll Get Action!

North Korea is doomed. The sainted international community has officially noted their depravity.

Now, it's action time!

A U.N. Commission of Inquiry has found that crimes against humanity have been committed in North Korea and recommends that its findings be referred to the International Criminal Court, two people familiar with the commission's report have told The Associated Press.

One can only imagine the look of fear that must have gripped Kim Jong Un when an aide was chosen to tell him the news of this United Nations action.

"Referred to the ICC" is a phrase more ominous than any "sea of fire" bombast that Pyongyang threatens Seoul with on alternate Thursdays.

Wait. What? It isn't "action time" yet?

Ah, sadly no. The color is returning to the Raging Badger, or whatever The Un goes by these days.

No, the UN has enough information after decades of communist horrors, to begin an investigation:

The lengthy report concludes that the testimony and other information it received, "create reasonable grounds ... to merit a criminal investigation by a competent national or international organ of justice."

So there you go. The wheels of UN justice are slow, but sure. No doubt, when Kim Jong Un is elderly and in his death bed waiting to pass the baton cattle prod to the next generation, the UN will conclude that North Korea has been very, very naughty--and would they please stop.

Of course, such dramatic action will require China not to veto any resolution on this. So that does put a bit of a damper on the building celebratory mood in the United Nations.

Heck, John Kerry will probably get a posthumous Nobel Peace Prize for that, somehow.

As I exclaim every alternate Wednesday, thank God for the UN.

UPDATE: The Un responds to the UN:

"The DPRK (North Korea) once again makes it clear that the 'human rights violations' mentioned in the so-called 'report' do not exist in our country."

Well. I guess they won't come along quietly.
