North Korea makes claim to the moral high ground

In a UN conference this November, renown human rights abuser North Korea disrespectfully requests that Canada quits critiquing their human rights record as Canada's own human rights record concerning aboriginal peoples and tribes is apparently far worse than that of North Korea's record with it's own people. This is especially ironic coming from a country that hosts one of the absolute worst labour camp conditions of anywhere in the world. The North Korean diplomat went on to describe Canada as "the land of broken promises" as Canada has apparently made no strides towards assisting its aboriginal populations over the past 5 decades. This ad hominem attack towards Canadian policies is not only untrue but a blatant effort by the North Koreans to discredit Canada on the world stage with concerns to human rights. What's worse is that this notion is supported by security council member Russia, who has recently and repeatedly shown no interest in human right when any form of a minority is involved. I personally believe that this kind of childish retort is something that prevents progress from being made and that if nothing else, Canada should use this claim to show North Korea that the West is indeed attempting to rectify past wrongs with the wealth of social welfare programs that have been put into place to assist those wronged by British colonialism since the 18th century. Perhaps showing North Korea how a modern country deals with a less than perfect past in the "land of broken promises" and will encourage the North Korean government to listen to criticism, no matter how much they might disagree with, and make steps towards become a model nation to be emulated and admired by those who once criticized it.
