North Korea lashes out at U.N. Command over meeting in Seoul

This is the best summary I could come up with:

SEOUL, Nov 13 (Reuters) - North Korea on Monday called for the United Nations Command to be dissolved calling it an "illegal war organization" over a meeting which is scheduled to take place between the member states in South Korea later this week, state media KCNA reported.

The U.S.-led United Nations Command (UNC) is a multinational military force and oversees affairs in the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between the two Koreas, which remain technically at war.

Seoul's defence ministry said last week that South Korean and U.S. defence chiefs along with the member states of the U.N. Command will meet on Tuesday in Seoul to call on Pyongyang to stop what it said was "illegal activities" and enforce U.N. security resolutions.

The KCNA report, citing the Institute for Disarmament and Peace (IDP) of the DPRK Foreign Ministry, also criticized a joint declaration which is set to be adopted for contingency in the Korean peninsula.

North Korea's criticism comes a day after U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin met his South Korean counterpart Shin Won-sik in Seoul on Sunday with Japanese Defence Minister Minoru Kihara for a trilateral meeting.

They agreed to start as planned a real-time data sharing scheme on North Korean missiles in December and condemned growing military cooperation between North Korea and Russia as a violation of U.N. resolutions during the meeting.

North Korea can bite the UN's shiny international ass.
Does Nork ever announce things they’re happy about?
- Probably when one of their ~~kites~~ missiles make it 5m further than their last
