S. Korean Authorities Urged to Take Practical Measures for Dialogue

    Pyongyang, February 4 (KCNA) -- The spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea Wednesday gave an answer to a question put by KCNA as regards the fact that the south Korean authorities are spreading the rumor that dialogue has not started due to the north, toeing the line of the U.S. which is displeased with any effort to mend the inter-Korean relations.

The spokesman said: These days those of the Ministry of Unification of south Korea talk rubbish that the north should stop making exhausting assertions and come out for dialogue as early as possible if it has the willingness to mend the relations. Timed to coincide with this, the conservative media of south Korea are floating the rumor that it is hard to expect north-south dialogue for the time being due to the north.
    This is an intolerable insult to the DPRK's sincere efforts to bring about a great change in the north-south relations in this significant year and revelation of the clumsy and sinister intention to pass the buck for the daily escalating tension to it.

Now the rabid dogs of the U.S. obsessed with the anti-DPRK hostile conception are openly barking that they will bring down the DPRK by leading it to "changes" in utter denial of its ideology and social system, and obstructing the south Korean authorities in every way so that they may not opt for mending the relations with it. This is well known to the world.
    There are heaps of realistic issues pending solutions between the north and the south but there is not a single problem the south Korean authorities can settle without the U.S. interference. This is the DPRK's judgment. It is the stark reality that without setting right the abnormal master-servant relations with the U.S. it is hard to expect a fundamental change in the north-south relations. The DPRK can never believe the south Korean authorities' will for dialogue as long as such situation goes on.

The south Korean authorities should not just pay lip-service to "dialogue" and "confidence" but make a bold decision to settle national issues and reunification issue with their fellow countrymen through frank discussions, free from the U.S. control, and show the will for the improvement of the relations by taking practical and trust-based measures.

They should also stop such acts of doing harm to fellow countrymen and escalating tensions by toeing to the U.S. policy. To talk about "dialogue" without taking practical measures is not an attitude to truly settle the issue of the north-south relations. Such behavior cannot be interpreted otherwise than a poor charade to make the public at home and abroad believe that they are interested in improving the north-south ties and to shift the blame for the failure to open dialogue on to the DPRK side.

As we have repeatedly clarified our stand, we are fully ready to bring about a fresh landmark phase in the north-south relations for the dignity and destiny of the nation. The prospect of the north-south relations entirely depends on the attitude of the south Korean authorities.

UN "HUMAN RIGHTS RESOLUTION" AGAINST DPRK SHOULD BE RETRACTED: KCNA COMMENTARY

    Pyongyang, February 4 (KCNA) -- It has been fully disclosed that the UN "human rights resolution" against the DPRK railroaded in December last year was a product of the "human rights" racket being kicked up by the U.S.-led hostile forces.

Sin Tong Hyok, who had appeared as a main "testifier" for working out the "report of the Commission of Inquiry" on the human rights performance in the DPRK, which served as a basis of the "resolution", confessed that his "testimonies" were false ones and pledged not to be involved in the "human rights campaign" against the DPRK any longer. This clearly proved that the "resolution" was a politically-motivated false document and a fabrication.
It also clearly proved that the "human rights" campaign kicked up by the U.S. at the UN and other international arenas is an illegal and brigandish act of wantonly infringing upon the dignity and sovereignty of the DPRK.
 Now that the falsity and reactionary nature of the "resolution" have been fully disclosed, the U.S. is persistently insisting on the "validity" of the "report" in a bid to justify the "human rights resolution" at any cost, far from apologizing to the DPRK for its wrongdoings. The former chairman and the "special rapporteur" of the CI are busy claiming the validity of the "report", asserting it is based not only on the "testimonies" made by Sin but also on those made by other "witnesses" in various countries.

The DPRK would like to ask them whether there was even a single citizen of it among those 300 odd "testifiers" they brought to make the "report" sound plausible and whether any of them has ever visited the DPRK. The countries visited by the members of the CI are the countries hostile to the DPRK such as the U.S. and Japan and those met by them are either citizens of the hostile countries or "defectors from the north" under the control of the south Korean authorities.
    In the early period of its establishment, the CI announced that it would conduct an inquiry on the basis of testimonies made by "defectors from the north" and satellite photos. The former chairman of the Commission, when interviewed by an Australian broadcasting service on May 7, 2013, told that there were various pieces of information on "human rights abuses in north Korea" but problem is lack of information to confirm them. Such utterances should not be overlooked.

Nevertheless, Washington formed the "Commission of Inquiry" with Kirby, Biserko and Darusman as its core members and instigated them to fabricate a false document. As far as those guys are concerned, they are all political swindlers who had been involved in the operations of the CIA. After all, the "report" which they claimed comprehensively "judged" and "estimated" the human rights performance in the DPRK and contain even pieces of "recommendations" was worked out in a matter of less than a year. On the basis of it the UN forcibly adopted the anti-DPRK "resolution" bereft of scientific accuracy and credibility.

It was none other than the U.S. and its followers that let Sin appear as a leading "testifier" at the UN and other international arenas in a bid to forge the document peppered with frauds and lies. Nevertheless, those who played a main role in working out the resolution are now asserting that Sin is just one of "many testifiers" and the "testimonies made by him are of no particular value." This is, indeed, the height of brazen-fadedness.
    This is not only a wanton challenge to the DPRK highly dignified for its independence as it guarantees genuine human rights of its popular masses but shameless hypocrisy and mockery of the fair-minded world public calling for total nullification of the anti-DPRK "human rights resolution."
    With no rhetoric can those hostile forces misrepresent the true human rights performance in the DPRK. Truth is bound to be revealed any time for history and the world public. After Sin made an apology for his false testimonies, Blaine Harden, author and publisher of a book dealing with the story told by him about "the experience he gained while defecting from the north", contributed an article to a newspaper in which he admitted he was "deceived by Sin" and "Sin was an incredible guy from the very beginning and there would be more misinformation except for the one confessed by him."
    It is by no means fortuitous that an Italian lawmaker, who had visited the DPRK, told Radio 24 of Italy that "all what defector from north Korea Sin Tong Hyok uttered at press conferences was lies meant to make money." "Books containing his lies are being sold and I, therefore, don’t buy book falsifying facts," he added. What matters is that the UN, forgetful of its mission and duty, danced to the tune of the U.S. conspiratorial moves and was abused by it for its anti-DPRK racket.

What the UN did seriously hurt its honor as it was the most disgraceful case in history. It is a shame on the UN that it is being abused as an unlawful mechanism of mocking at the justice and truth under the control of a specified country called the U.S. The UN should retract the above-said anti-DPRK "human rights resolution."
