Nuclear-armed North Korea, which fired two ballistic missiles into the sea on Thursday, will lead the UN Conference on Disarmament later this year.
The United Nations said the rogue state, which has carried out six missile launches this year, would assume the presidency of the conference for one month from May 30.
It is one of six countries to take on the four-week role in alphabetical order, along with China, Colombia, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ecuador.
UN Watch, a NGO based in Geneva, said the US and European ambassadors should walk out of the conference, which has 65 member states and focuses on nuclear disarmament, when North Korea takes the helm.
