A breakthrough in a troubling case of harassment that led to a teen girl’s suicide – Dozens are killed after police walk off the job – Iran is doing what it’s supposed to – And a lot more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

The UN’s chief investigator for Human Rights abuses wants North Korea hauled before the International Criminal Court for prosecution.  Michael Kirby told an informal meeting of the Security Council that despite the topical issues facing the US these days, North Korea “exceeds all others in duration, intensity and horror”, comparing North Korea’s crimes to nazi atrocities.  China and Russia snubbed the meeting, and either one could veto any move on the Security Council to refer North Korea for prosecution.

A Dutch man has been arrested in the suicide of a Canadian teenage girl.  15-year old Amanda Todd committed suicide after detailing her harassment on a YouTube video watched by millions around the world.  She had been tricked into giving someone a topless photo, someone who used it to blackmail her into doing more.  Then the criminal created a social media page around the photo and used it to harass her, and create a toxic climate at her school.  The 35-year old “man” (and I used that term loosely) from the Netherlands has not been identified, nor his full connection to this tragic tale of cowardice, abuse, and mob mentality.

When adults don’t stop bullying, the consequences last for decades.  A new King’s College London study says children who are bullied can still experience negative effects on their physical and mental health more than 40 years later.  Those bullied frequently as children were at an increased risk of depression and anxiety, and more likely to report a lower quality of life at 50.  A previous study, from Warwick University, found that bullying had long-term negative consequences for health, job prospects and relationships.

A mob pretending to be unarmed citizens with a petition got onto a United Nations Peacekeeping base in South Sudan, produced its hidden weapons, and opened fire on some of the 5,000 refugees sheltering there.  At least 30 people were killed in the attack on the UN base at Bor, where Indian and South Korean peacekeepers repelled the mob.  The conflict in South Sudan has left thousands dead and forced around a million people to flee their homes since fighting broke out in December.

South Sudan is facing famine within the coming months, according to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. The country is extremely poor and most residents survive only on the crops they plant and harvest – And with a million ripped from their homes, those crops aren’t getting planted.  The US has boosted its total aid package to US$411 Million, the EU to $131 Million, but Ban warns there’s still an $800 Million gap to meet South Sudan’s immediate needs.

Police in Salvador, Brazil ended their two-day strike.  But the murder rate surged during the walkout – At least 39 homicides were recorded, added to the mob looting of shops and stores, and arson attacks on buses and cars.  This happened, even though President Dilma Rousseff had sent in thousands of troops to maintain order when the police walked out on Tuesday.  It’s raising fears about Brazil’s ability to handle the World Cup later this year and Olympics in 2016.

Peru is evacuating some 4,000 residents and their livestock from the area around the Ubinas volcano, because of increased activity.  Ubinas is located in the south of the country, and is Peru's most active volcano.  It recently began spewing ash clouds up to four kilometers into the sky.

MH 370:  Nope.  Not yet.

Iran has neutralized half of its higher-enriched uranium stockpile, in accordance with the six-month deal that unfroze some international sanctions on Tehran.  The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been checking Iran's adherence to the deal struck with six world powers, which fear that Iran wants to build a nuclear weapon.  The US reciprocated, unfreezing US$450 Million in Iranian funds following the IAEA’s latest findings.
