SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea says it will significantly bolster its war capability to protest the approval of a landmark U.N. resolution against the country's widely condemned human rights violations. <br />
<br />
A U.N. committee on Tuesday adopted the resolution urging the Security Council to refer the North's rights situation to the International Criminal Court. Before the U.N. vote, a North Korean envoy threatened a nuclear test. <br />
<br />
This year's resolution includes the new idea the North's absolute leader could be targeted by prosecutors. <br />
<br />
Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry said Thursday that the resolution's approval is a ``grave political provocation'' orchestrated by the U.S. <br />
<br />
It says the North's war deterrence will be strengthened in an ``unlimited manner'' to cope with U.S. hostility. <br />
<br />
The North has used similar rhetoric previously when there has been increased tension with other countries.
