North Korea has reportedly rejected reports by the United Nations that accused the country of carrying out barbaric war crimes against its own people, comparing it with the Nazi.

North Korea's foreign ministry said that the report was based on lies and fabrications deliberately cooked up by hostile forces and riff-raffs.

The ministry added that the report was set up by the US and its satellite forces out of inveterate repugnance towards the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea), the Sky News reported.

The UN Commission of Inquiry released its report earlier this week, detailing the crimes committed by North Korea against humanity that included murder, torture, rape, starvation and the suppression of religion.
