"North Korea will on Monday undergo a UN review on the human rights situation there, during which South Korea and Japan are to take Pyongyang to task for having allegedly abducted their citizens.

Japan will press Pyongyang on when it would conduct a full investigation into alleged kidnapping of Japanese, while South Korea wants its neighbour to explain how it would resolve the problem of abducted South Koreans.

The questions were revealed in documents released by the UN Human Rights Council ahead of the Universal Periodic Review - a study of the nation's record that all 192 member states of the UN must submit to every four years.

The review will involve a public debate in Geneva between the 47 member states in the council and North Korea."
