KIM JONG UN PUBLISHES WORK CALLING FOR TURNING MOUNTAINS OF COUNTRY INTO THICK WOODLAND

Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- Marshal Kim Jong Un published work "Let the Entire Party, the Whole Army and All the People Conduct a Vigorous Forest Restoration Campaign to Cover the Mountains of the Country with Green Woods" on Feb. 26.

Saying the tree-planting day is just a few days off, Kim Jong Un recalled that President Kim Il Sung climbed Moran Hill on March 2, 1946 and unrolled a far-reaching plan to turn all the mountains into people's paradise in thick verdure by planting lots of trees.

Leader Kim Jong Il advanced a plan to turn the whole country into thick woodland and greenery and worked heart and soul for it till the last moments of his life, Kim Jong Un said.

Noting that bare mountains and earth-covered ones should never be handed to posterity, he stressed it is the firm determination and will of the Workers' Party of Korea to turn all the mountains of the country into mountains of treasure and gold clad in thick verdure in a decade to come, true to the intentions of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

Calling on the entire party and army and all the people to turn the mountains of the country into thick woodland through a vigorous campaign to restore forests, he specified tasks and ways for doing so.

The campaign to restore forests is like a war with nature, he noted, underscoring the need to simultaneously push forward the work for creating forests and the work for conserving them.

He said the work for creating forests should not be done in such a way as planting a few trees or transplanting overgrown trees in a ceremonial manner on the tree-planting day as what happened in the past but all people should turn out as one to plant trees and tend them after raising lots of saplings.

The Central Tree Nursery and other tree nurseries should massively produce a variety of tree saplings of good species and it is necessary to plant trees qualitatively, he noted, and went on:

As many people in various fields are mobilized for tree-planting, it is important to provide proper guidance to make sure that technical regulations are observed in planting trees.  There should be a strict system whereby trees are taken care of in a responsible manner by organs, enterprises and units which planted them.

Economic forests, forest reserves and scenic woods should be arranged in a rational way while conducting the campaign to restore forests. The work for protecting forests should be pushed forward from the standpoint that protection of forests precisely means the protection of land, ecological environment and economy.

In order to protect forest resources, it is necessary to take positive measures to settle the fuel issue including the ones of creating firewood forests in regions and increasing coal production and supply for residents.

Forest scientific research institutions should study and settle the scientific and technological issues arising in raising trees and creating and conserving forests. It is imperative to take steps for introducing the world's advanced science and technology on creation and protection of forests and widely disseminating them.

The Academy of Forestry should be built up into the world's first-class academy. At the same time, forest science institutes in provinces should be built up well. The work for restoring forests should be tenaciously pushed forward as it is a long-term work which should be done, foreseeing ten years.

Kim Jong Un said that the forest restoration campaign is an important political work to carry out the behests of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and the greatest patriotic work for the development of the country and the prosperity of the generations to come.

He went on:  "Let the entire Party, the whole army and all the people be enlisted in a vigorous forest restoration campaign!" This is the militant slogan put up by the WPK at present. The Korean People's Army should take the lead in the forest restoration campaign and the army-people coordinated operation and the mass movement should be conducted positively.

He stressed the need to dynamically conduct information service and agitation to arouse the entire party and army and all the people to the forest restoration campaign, increase the role of the headquarters of the campaign and for the officials to take the lead in the campaign.

He expressed belief that officials, service personnel, working people and school youth and children would turn out as one in the forest restoration campaign, the noble patriotic cause, in hearty response to the appeal of the Party Central Committee.

    Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army (KPA), gave field guidance to the construction site of the Sci-Tech Complex.

    He asked commanding officers in detail about the amount of the work done at present, the measure taken for the supply of building materials and knotty problems arising in the project. After being briefed on it before a map showing the bird's eye view of the complex, he went round the construction site and gave important instructions.

    The complex should serve as a seat of learning where not only scientists and technicians but also people from all walks of life can have an ample opportunity of learning and a center for disseminating latest science and technology throughout the country, he said, calling for constructing it to be impeccable in terms of architectural beauty and practical use.

    He gave an instruction to build a hotel capable of accommodating 500 people which can match well its surrounding environment so that it may provide best convenience to visitors.     He called for pushing ahead with the construction of the complex and preparations for its operation simultaneously.

    He underscored the need to meticulously organize the work for building a strong latest science and technology database, supplying equipment and apparatuses necessary for e-library service at the highest level, establishing a network between the complex and scientific and technological knowledge dissemination rooms across the country and assigning scientists, experts and service workers.

    He underlined the need to successfully undertake the embankment project on Ssuk Islet where the complex is located and effectively arrange environment around it including afforestation and greening.     He praised commanding officers and soldiers of KPA Unit 963 for contriving and introducing an innovative construction method and pushing ahead with the project in a bold way.

    He said every sector and unit should render sincere material and moral assistance to the construction of the complex so that it may be pushed forward as a project involving the entire Party, the whole country and all the people.  He was so kind as to solve all problems arising in the construction on the spot.

    He said that the construction of the complex should be completed by the 70th anniversary of the WPK unconditionally.

    Accompanying him were Premier Pak Pong Ju, O Su Yong, secretary of the C.C., the WPK, Han Kwang Bok and Han Kwang Sang, department directors of the C.C., the WPK, Ri Jae Il, its first vice department director, and Jo Yong Won and Jo Thae San, its vice department directors.

KOREA'S SL DENOUNCED AS EVIL LAW VIOLATING HUMAN RIGHTS PYONGYANG,

February 21 (KCNA) -- The DPRK Measure Council for Human Rights in South Korea made public an inquiry report on Saturday to disclose before the world the fascist nature of the "Security Law" and the shuddering human rights abuses committed by the successive south Korean puppet forces by invoking the evil law. The SL of south Korea is the worst fascist law unprecedented in world history, the inquiry report says, and goes on: It was cooked up by traitor Syngman Rhee on Dec. 1, 1948 to suppress and stamp out progressive figures and other people of south Korea who stood against the pro-U.S. dictatorial regime. It was made up of hideous poisonous articles unprecedented in world legislative history. It is the most unpopular and reactionary law that was modeled after the colonial suppressive ruling methods used by the imperialists. It is just the repetition of "the Maintenance of the Public Order Act" which the Japanese imperialists invoked to maintain their colonial ruling system and suppress the Korean people's movement for national liberation against the Japanese during their rule over Korea. "The Maintenance of the Public Order Act" which the Japanese imperialists enacted to suppress the communist movement inside Japan in April 1925 was an ill-famed law also in Japan's history of legislation. Provided for in the law were punishment up to death sentence to those who were involved in organization of association or who acceded to it and discussed or agitated the execution of the goal of association with an aim at the "change of state". The SL was exactly same as "the Maintenance of the Public Order Act" in the light of the objective of its institution, the scope and objects of its application and punishment. The evil law was coercively cooked up by the south Korean puppet clique at the instigation of the U.S. for its colonial rule over south Korea after its illegal entry to it. At the time of fabrication, the SL was a provisional one as neither "criminal law" nor "criminal procedure code" was in force in south Korea. It, therefore, should have been repealed Page 2 of 4 after the September 1953 institution of the criminal law and the September 1954 enactment of the criminal procedure code in south Korea. No wonder, the majority of the then "National Assemblymen" opposed the SL and even the first president of the puppet Supreme Court Kim Pyong Ro held that "many problems will arise in terms of legislation if criminal law is instituted without abolishing the Security Law". But Syngman Rhee maintained the evil law under the patronage of the U.S., using it as a means for his dictatorial rule. The SL is undemocratic and inhuman law violating even the elementary right of human being. The SL was empowered to the indefinite violation of elementary rights of people on charges of "endangering the existence and security of state and basic order of freedom and democracy." The anti-human rights and unethical nature of the SL is that it is blocking the national reconciliation, unity and reunification. The SL brands the DPRK and organizations of overseas compatriots as "anti-government ones" and totally antagonizes the compatriots. Its articles contain such words of antagonizing the fellow countrymen as "anti-government organizations" and "their members" and even label the DPRK an "enemy." The SL is also wantonly checking the free visits, contacts and dialogue between the north and the south. Noting that the fascist atrocities the south Korean puppet group have perpetrated by invoking the SL constitute the height of crimes against humanity and human rights, the inquiry report cites detailed facts to prove them. Since Park Geun Hye took office, the SL has gotten ferocious, the report notes, adding: The Park group is openly pushing ahead with the revision of the SL for the worse, which even traitor Lee Myung Bak dared not do, being hell-bent on fascist suppression. During her early days in office, Park said sheer sophism that "the May 16 military coup was an inevitable and best choice". She has resorted to anachronistic fascist dictatorial rule after letting such remnants of "yusin" as Kim Ki Chun, Hwang Kyo An and Nam Jae Jun hold important posts of the secretariat of Chongwadae, the ministry of Justice and the Intelligence Service. In February 2013, the first year of her office, she sponsored the farce of a fascist trial against Ro Su Hui who had visited Pyongyang to express condolences over the greatest loss to the nation, which sentenced him to four-year imprisonment and suspension of qualification. In October that year her group branded the Teachers Union, a typical progressive organization, as a "heart of followers of the north", "enemy in the country" that had taken the lead in the "pro-Page 3 of 4 north" activities and deprived the union of its legitimate status. Moreover, in December it hurled 5 000 fascist policemen into storming the headquarters of the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and arresting more than 130 including its vicechairman. The Park group, in a bid to suppress the Unified Progressive Party which had acted as a legitimate progressive political party, cooked up a conspiratorial rebellion case and put a lawmaker from the party into custody in broad daylight. On December 19, it let the puppet judicial authorities forcibly dissolve the UPP after branding it as a "political party following the north" and termed it a "historic option that firmly protected the liberal democracy." Early this year, the puppet group made an investigation into the Bar Association for Democratic Society, a progressive organization in south Korean judicial circles, openly revealing its sinister attempt to totally stamp out the progressive forces by invoking the SL, in actuality. Branding even peaceable demonstrations and rallies as "operations of the pro-north left-wing forces to overthrow the government", the puppet group arrested and put into custody personages of progressive organizations after branding them as backstage manipulators and suppressed them at random. It has also mercilessly violated the freedom of speech, press and expression by applying the SL. In south Korea, there does not exist the freedom of criticizing the "government" and its confrontational policy, even though there may exist the freedom of defending the regime and slandering the fellow countrymen. Therefore, not only south Koreans from all walks of life but the international community strongly demand the abolition of the SL and even Americans maintain that the SL must be abolished in the light of human rights. However, the Park Geun Hye group made up of matchless human rights abusers and fascist dictators is keen on retrogressively revising the SL, far from repealing it. It is ridiculous for those human rights abusers to talk such rubbish as "human rights issue" of someone. The Park Geun Hye group had better face up to the trend of the times, immediately abolish the SL and stop the "human rights racket" against the DPRK. -0-Page 4 of 4 DPRK Measure Council for Human Rights in South Korea Demands Abolition of SL Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Measure Council for Human Rights in South Korea released a statement Thursday in connection with the fact that the south Korean puppet group has become all the more desperate in their moves to retrogressively revise the "Security Law" and stamp out progressive and democratic forces in a bid to maintain power through fascist suppression as they find themselves in the worst ruling crisis. The SL fabricated by traitor Syngman Rhee has earned an ill fame as a murderous repressive means that served the successive ruling quarters in their moves to stamp out political dissidents and keep ruling system, the statement said, and went on: The SL has become a pronoun of horror today the mere mention of which makes the south Korean people tremble with fear. It is the worst fascist and unprecedented evil law violating human rights. The fascist repressive racket kicked up by the south Korean puppet forces has turned south Korea into a land where human rights are seriously abused. This notwithstanding, the present puppet forces keen to retrogressively revise the SL are the worst human rights abusers and fascist dictators far surpassing "yusin" fascist junta. It is the height of impudence for them to talk about someone's "human rights" whenever they open their mouths. The SL has to be abolished at once as it turned south Korea into the world's worst tundra of human rights and stands in the way of achieving national reconciliation, unity and reunification. The statement called on human conscience and unbiased opinion of the international community to raise just voices demanding the abolition of the SL. 

Enlarged Meeting of WPK Central Military Commission Held under Guidance of Kim Jong Un

    Pyongyang, February 23 (KCNA) -- An enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) took place under the guidance of Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the WPK, chairman of the Central Military Commission of the WPK, first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army (KPA).

    Attending the meeting were members of the Central Military Commission of the WPK, executive members of the KPA Committee of the WPK and commanding officers of services and corps-level units.

    The participants observed a moment's silence in memory of leader Kim Jong Il at the proposal of Kim Jong Un.

    The meeting discussed important strategic issues of bringing about a radical turn in the overall work for national defence as required by the prevailing situation and developing revolution and an organizational matter.

    Kim Jong Un made a historic speech.

    He said that over the past three years since the demise of Kim Jong Il the service personnel of the KPA have safeguarded the WPK and the revolution with pure conscience and clear mind, regarding the loyalty to the party and leader and moral obligation as dearer than their own lives despite the graver situation at home and abroad than ever before.

    The enlarged meeting is of weighty significance in clearly indicating the future orientation of building the army for carrying out the behests of Kim Jong Il and letting the People's Army, the main force for the Songun revolution, win victories in defending socialism and all sectors for building a thriving nation this year so as to successfully greet the 70th anniversaries of the WPK and the liberation of the country as grand political festivals, he noted.

    He reviewed the work of the KPA last year and set forth the ways of carrying out its work for this year.

    Last year the service personnel of the KPA grew stronger in their faith and will to hold President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in high esteem as the eternal sun of Juche and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Songun under the guidance of the party and the politico-ideological might and combat capabilities of the KPA were remarkably bolstered up and the foundation for supply service was consolidated to open a prospect for satisfactorily solving the issue of service personnel's living, he said.

    He pointed to the deviations manifested in the work of the KPA last year and set forth a strategic line to be always held fast to by the KPA which has a responsible duty of national defence and tasks and ways for developing the revolutionary armed forces.

    He underlined the need to implement the line of making the KPA politically, ideologically and morally stronger as required by the developing reality in which the cause of Juche-oriented army-building has reached a higher level.

    Emphasizing the need for the KPA to focus all its efforts on rounding off combat readiness this year, he said to this end, it was necessary to simplify the machinery of the KPA and indicated the orientation and ways for reorganizing the machinery in such a way as to realize the strategic intention of the Supreme Command any time.

    Calling on the KPA to be fully ready to react to any form of war to be ignited by the enemy, he clarified the methods of fighting a war with the U.S. imperialists and corresponding operational and tactical matters.

    Our revolution advances, keeping pace with the KPA, and the pace of the KPA precisely means the speed of the advance of our revolution, he said, adding that the KPA should dash ahead like the wind in the van to be followed by the whole country in its speed and thus bring earlier a rosy future of the great Paektusan nation. 

DPRK FM DENOUNCES US "HUMAN RIGHTS" RACKET

Pyongyang, February 19 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK Thursday made public the following statement denouncing the U.S. for making desperate efforts to fan up the atmosphere of pressure upon the DPRK while taking issue with it over the nonexistent "human rights" issue: In Washington on Feb. 17 the U.S. held a "conference on human rights" against the DPRK under the absurd pretext of the first anniversary of the "report of the UN Commission of Inquiry" (COI) on the human rights situation in the DPRK. It was reported that the U.S. staged a farce malignantly slandering the DPRK, repeating the tattered false data, with the "envoy for the human rights issue in north Korea" in the U.S. Department of State, former and incumbent persons of the department and U.S. Congress, the former chairman of the COI and its "special rapporteur" and "defectors from the north" attending. It has already been brought to light that the "report of COI" and the "human rights resolution" of the UN General Assembly which were cooked up by the U.S. last year were forcibly adopted on the basis of the false testimonies of "defectors from the north". The inhuman tortures by the CIA of the U.S. and other human rights abuses in the U.S. were disclosed, sparking off big astonishment and resentment of the international community. The U.S., driven into the tight corner at home and abroad, is kicking up the persistent "human rights" racket against the DPRK in order to escape its poor plight and shift the international accusations and attack onto others. Great irony is that the U.S. held the nonsensical "conference on human rights" while dreaming of "internal disorganization" though it admitted itself that it has no chance to win military standoff with the DPRK. As we did at the time when the U.S. held a "meeting of high-ranking officials on human rights in north Korea" before the UN General Assembly last year, we strongly demanded this time the U.S. stop at once such foolish farce and officially informed it of our just stand to take part in the "conference" as the party concerned. However, the U.S. finally refused to accept our demand only to reveal itself that the "conference" is nothing but a back-street one. If the U.S. and its allied forces are truly interested in human rights, they should mind their own business by halting plot-breeding racket such as "conference" and their human rights abuses such as tortures in the U.S. and suppression on charges of the violation of the "Security Law" in south Korea, condemned by the world. The ceaseless despicable anti-DPRK "human rights" racket by the U.S. and its stooges is hardening the will of the service personnel and people of the DPRK to annihilate the enemies. We are fully ready for any confrontation with the U.S. and will shatter the reckless "human rights" racket by the hostile forces through our toughest reaction. The moves of the hostile forces to dare provoke the socialist system of the DPRK which was chosen and has been consolidated by the Korean people will not be able to escape disgraceful doom. 

PRESS STATEMENT OF THE PERMANENT MISSION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA TO THE UNITED NATIONS

The Permanent Mission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to the United Nations releases the following press statement with regard to the “Conference on North Korean Human Rights” to be hosted by the United States in Washington D.C. The United States and south Korea are going to convene so-called "Conference on North Korean Human Rights: the Road Ahead" on 17 February in Washington by bringing together Michael Donald Kirby, former chairman of COI and Marzuki Darusman, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the DPRK. The Permanent Mission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to the United Nations condemns the convening of such human rights gathering as a political human rights plot against the DPRK and makes clear its position as follows; The "Conference on North Korean Human Rights: the Road Ahead " constitutes a product of the hostile policy of the United States against the DPRK, and it is nothing but a rubbish event for the United States to get rid of the predicament driven at home and abroad, due to the recent confession by the defector of the fabrication of his testimony and to the disclosure of CIA's torture crimes. We made due request to the U.S. on our participation in the gathering, since we are the party directly concerned. But the U.S. ignored our request for participation because they are afraid of disclosure of their plot for fabrication. The US is advised to clean up its own human rights ravages. If the U.S. is sincerely interested in human rights, they should, above all, call into question the CIA's torture crimes and the gross human rights violations committed by "national security law" in south Korea, far from clinging to the attempted fabrication of falsehood and plot through such as the kind of above "conference". The United States does not have qualification at all to talk about human rights situation of other countries, since it is the worst human rights violator in the world. We, the people of the DPRK are proud of our political and social system chosen by ourselves and we will strongly respond to any attempts to overthrow our system under the pretext of human rights. New York, 15 February 2015

Kim Jong Un resolutely laid bare and foiled the moves of the modern-day factional elements who challenged the monolithic leadership of the party, thus putting the ideological oneness of the entire party and the whole society on the highest level and bringing the flower garden of the single-minded unity into full bloom by carrying forward Kim Il Sung's and Kim Jong Il's noble outlook on the people and the rising generation.

While putting forward the KPA as the reliable pioneers party and strong buttress upholding the Songun revolutionary cause of the party in the van, Kim Jong Un developed it into the powerful Paektusan revolutionary army capable of defeating enemy's provocation at a single stroke, built world-class edifices through army-people coordinated operations and brought about a shining victory in the struggle for building an economic power and improving the standard of people's living.

Through the past three-year-long struggle to carry out the behests of Kim Jong Il we deeply cherished the unshakable faith that the lines and policies set forth by him and his teachings are textbooks of revolution and if we work as taught by him, there is nothing impossible and the final victory belongs to us, Kim Jong Un said.

He noted that it is the fixed will of the WPK and the army and people of the DPRK to implement to the letter Kim Jong Il's behests without an inch of deflection and without a step of concession and translate his plan and desire into a reality on this land.

Party organizations should conduct the organizational and political work in a fresh and viable manner so that the officials, party members and working people may turn out as one with the revolutionary faith, fighting spirit and revolutionary pluck to devotedly carry out the teachings of Kim Jong Il and the party's policies under any condition, Kim Jong Un noted.

All party organizations should put on record without omission all the teachings and instructions Kim Jong Il gave to their domains and units, bring them home to officials and other working people and thus help them deeply grasp his behests, he said.

The party organizations should wage unique and dynamic political work pulsating with the breath of the times and motivate the people so that the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu, the spirit of blizzards of Paektu prevail throughout the country and a high-pitched drive for creation and innovation is waged in all worksites, he said, and went on:

Units associated with the leadership of Kim Jong Il should take the lead in implementing his behests to the letter.

Noting that it was the most important behest sand lifetime desire of Kim Jong Il to provide the people with an affluent and happy life, Kim Jong Un said:

President Kim Il Sung's and Kim Jong Il's behests concerning the problems of food and clothing essential for the living should be carried out before any other behests.

The leading officials of the party and the state and all other officials should look back with conscience whether they have worked as required by the revolution and in its interests true to the intention of Kim Jong Il at the important posts entrusted to them by the party, and work with their sleeves rolled up to thoroughly carry out his behests and party policies with extraordinary resolution and enthusiasm.

Not a few officials including those of economic guidance organs lack responsibilities in their work and fail to fulfill their role as masters.

He urged the officials to conceive from a fresh angle and wage in an innovative way all work with their feet planted in reality and looking at the world.

He called the officials to work and live simple-mindedly, uprightly and honestly with conscience.

All domains and units should judge well whether any work is contrary to the people's demand and interests and do the work without their burden and inconvenience, he said.

He noted that there is nothing impossible and there is insurmountable fortress as long as there is the bright blueprint for building a rich and powerful country indicated by Kim Jong Il and the revolutionary enthusiasm and great strength of all service personnel and people who are turning out as one in the revolutionary spirit of Paektu true to the call of the party.

The U.S. imperialists and their followers are making desperate efforts to block our advance but the Korean revolution is dynamically advancing along the landmark of victory set by the party, he said.

He called on all the people to uphold the spirit of the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee and bring about a revolutionary turn in the struggle to implement the behests of Kim Jong Il, confident of victory.

DPRK FM DENOUNCES US "HUMAN RIGHTS" RACKET

Pyongyang, February 19 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK Thursday made public the following statement denouncing the U.S. for making desperate efforts to fan up the atmosphere of pressure upon the DPRK while taking issue with it over the non-existent "human rights" issue:

As we did at the time when the U.S. held a "meeting of high-ranking officials on human rights in north Korea" before the UN General Assembly last year, we strongly demanded this time the U.S. stop at once such foolish farce and officially informed it of our just stand to take part in the "conference" as the party concerned.

However, the U.S. finally refused to accept our demand only to reveal itself that the "conference" is nothing but a back-street one.

If the U.S. and its allied forces are truly interested in human rights, they should mind their own business by halting plot-breeding racket such as "conference" and their human rights abuses such as tortures in the U.S. and suppression on charges of the violation of the "Security Law" in south Korea, condemned by the world.

The ceaseless despicable anti-DPRK "human rights" racket by the U.S. and its stooges is hardening the will of the service personnel and people of the DPRK to annihilate the enemies.

We are fully ready for any confrontation with the U.S. and will shatter the reckless "human rights" racket by the hostile forces through our toughest reaction.

The moves of the hostile forces to dare provoke the socialist system of the DPRK which was chosen and has been consolidated by the Korean people will not be able to escape disgraceful doom.

PRESS STATEMENT OF THE PERMANENT MISSION OF

THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA TO THE UNITED NATIONS

          The Permanent Mission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to the United Nations releases the following press statement with regard to the “Conference on North Korean Human Rights” to be hosted by the United States in Washington D.C.

          The United States and south Korea are going to convene so-called "Conference on North Korean Human Rights: the Road Ahead" on 17 February in Washington by bringing together Michael Donald Kirby, former chairman of COI and Marzuki Darusman, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the DPRK.

          The Permanent Mission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to the United Nations condemns the convening of such human rights gathering as a political human rights plot against the DPRK and makes clear its position as follows;

          The "Conference on North Korean Human Rights: the Road Ahead " constitutes a product of the hostile policy of the United States against the DPRK, and it is nothing but a rubbish event for the United States to get rid of the predicament driven at home and abroad, due to the recent confession by the defector of the fabrication of his  testimony and to the disclosure of CIA's torture crimes.

          We made due request to the U.S. on our participation in the gathering, since we are the party directly concerned. But the U.S. ignored our request for participation because they are afraid of disclosure of their plot for fabrication.

          The US is advised to clean up its own human rights ravages.

          If the U.S. is sincerely interested in human rights, they should, above all, call into question the CIA's torture crimes and the gross human rights violations committed by "national security law" in south Korea,  far from clinging to the attempted fabrication of falsehood and plot through such as the kind of above "conference". 

           The United States does not have qualification at all to talk about human rights situation of other countries, since it is the worst human rights violator in the world.

          We, the people of the DPRK are proud of our political and social system chosen by ourselves and we will strongly respond to any attempts to overthrow our system under the pretext of human rights.

H.E. MR. JONG YONG CHOL, AMBASSADOR EXTRAORDINARY AND PLENIPOTENTIARY OF THE DPRK IN PRESS INTERVIEW EXPOSES HEINOUS HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES COMMITTED BY THE U.S

Under the wise leadership of the respected Comrade KIM JONG UN the Korean people are making rapid developments on all fronts for building powerful nation state.

But the U.S, not pleased with the DPRK’s great development and prosperity, resorts to the despicable “human rights” racket to isolate and suffocate the DPRK, the bulwark of socialism and fortress of independence and justice.

The DPRK is a people-centered socialist system in which people are masters of everything and everything serves them and the Korean people, under such state and social system, enjoy worthwhile and happy life and genuine human rights. The U.S is the kingpin of human rights violation and tundra of human rights.

On December 9, 2014 the U.S. Congress made public some parts of the report that exposed inhuman acts of torture applied by the CIA against suspects of international terrorist groups.

According to the report the CIA, for several years, forced hundreds of prisoners to the unimaginable torture such as sleep deprivation for up to 180 hours with their hands shackled above their heads, placing in a box size coffin for over 11 days, ice water baths, rectal rehydration, violent rape and so on.

Those inhumane, medieval tortures have been committed systematically, premeditatedly and extensively under the approval and protection of the U.S. president.

The revealed acts of torture by the CIA are nothing new nor is it in all. They are a piece of the innumerous crimes against humanity the U.S., a sample state of human rights violation, has committed all over the world in the past. The whole world is shocked at such atrocious tortures, and international human rights organizations and groups and all the countries are unanimously condemning them.

After the end of the Korean War(1950-1953), the US, posing as a master in south Korea, continued to commit brutal atrocities against many innocent people.

A girl was shot dead under the name of “pheasant” while she was picking up herbs and a 3 year-old child had the same destiny because he was believed to be “thief of petrol”. These incidents were named as “Shooting Incident of a Girl in Kunsan” and “Killing Incident of a Child in Inchon Petroleum Pipeline” in 1957. The 1958 incident named “Incident of a Pupyong Girl in a Box of Helicopter” exposes how the orphan, shoeshine boy, was accused as a thief and mangled, how his toenails and hairs were pulled by a pair of pliers and, at the end, was dumped in a box from the helicopter, all his body covered with tar. In 1959, a woman, forcibly taken to a US military base, was raped by a group of soldiers and beaten with whip. She was then forced out to the street with her whole body being painted. This atrocity was recorded as the “Incident of a Painted Woman of Euijongbu”. The “Incident of Paju Woodchopper in 1962” whereby a farmer was shot dead as “roe deer” and the “Shooting Incident in 1981” whereby several civilians were killed in the name of testing “M-16” rifles are just few examples of the US atrocities committed in south Korea.

The Yun Gum Hui Case is about the satanic atrocity committed by a GI who raped and killed afore-said woman at Dongduchon around the US military base in 1992 by striking her head with a bottle and pushing a bottle in her womb and an umbrella in her anus. The case of Sin Hyo Sun and Sim Mi Son is about two young girls who were gruesomely killed beneath the pedrail of a US armored vehicle in 2002. These cases represent part of the crimes against humanity that can be committed only by the Yankees who are raised and imbued with immorality and hatred of human.

The GIs, from the very beginning, have regarded the south Korean people as animals like ducks or pheasants or wild rats instead of human being and considered them as no more than plaything for satisfying their perverted sexual desire.

In order to satisfy their sexual desire, the barbarian GIs raped indiscriminately any woman whether she is aged over 60 or minor, aged 6 or 8 and parturient pregnant.

A GI aged 23, raped a grandmother three times in alleys and parking areas and raped a teenage girl for over 4 hours in various perverted and thrilling methods. This incident is only a part of appalling atrocities committed by the brutal GIs upon south Korean women, which are too terrible to speak about in one’s tongue.

The year 2013 only has recorded a number of brutalities committed by the aggressive GIs in series including the incident of GIs’ group-raping of a women aged 20 in metro, the incident of a GI shooting randomly at pedestrians in central Seoul and escaping in a vehicle after crashing with a police, the incident of GIs who caused a traffic accident while driving in drunk and beat a victim chasing after them. Those atrocities arouse fury of the south Korean population.

Despite of the shuddering atrocities they committed, the brutal GIs are exempt from legal punishment because of the inequitable “US-south Korea Administrative Agreement” and repeatedly commit such atrocities, enjoying extraterritorial privileges.

The US cruelly oppressed and massacred the south Korean people in all walks of life who were engaged in the struggle for anti-US independence and anti-fascism democratization.

During the Kwangju Popular Uprising of May 18 in 1980, the US instigated the south Korean puppet paratroopers to slaughter the participants of uprising by mobilizing guns and hand-grenades, tanks, armored vehicles and helicopters. The then suppressive paratroopers committed such atrocities as beating middle-school students to death with iron hammers, ripping open the abdomen of a pregnant woman and picking out the fetus with a sword, cutting off breasts of female students, etc. and turned the entire city into the “bath of blood”, shocking the world in nightmare.

The US massacre of the Korean nation is indeed unprecedented in history and demonstrates to the whole world the murderous identity, brutality and barbarity of the US.

The kingpin of such human rights violation is pointing its finger at other countries over their human rights records, and this is the height of hypocrisy. The UN Human Rights Commission should thoroughly investigate heinous human rights abuses committed by the U.S and the international community should take fair stand, keenly aware that the U.S. and other hostile forces' "human rights" racket against the DPRK is utterly irrelevant to the defence of genuine human rights and it is the most dangerous move to tarnish its image, bring down its ideology and social system and find a pretext to invade it.

The DPRK will decisively frustrate the persistent anti-DPRK "human rights" campaign of the U.S and the hostile forces and continue to make utmost efforts to firmly defend the best Korean-style socialist system and provide better conditions for the people's enjoyment of human rights.
