A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
the DPRK gave the following answer to a question raised by the KCNA on August 3
as regards the fact that the U.S. has rigged up another heinous sanctions law
to suffocate the DPRK:
On August 2, U.S. President Trump signed the
"Countering America's Adversaries through Sanctions Act" which
recently passed the U.S. Congress. Thus, additional sanctions against the DPRK,
Russia and Iran were formally adopted as the law.
The U.S. adoption of sanctions law against the DPRK
is no more than last-ditch efforts by those who are terrified at the series of
measures taken by the DPRK in rapid succession to develop a sophisticated
nuclear force.
The act of the U.S. which is so fond of rigging up
sanctions law and brandishing the sanctions club against other sovereign states
is no better than that of a hooligan which cannot be allowed by international
law as well.
The adoption of another unilateral sanctions law
against sovereign states by the U.S. is a criminal conduct whereby it tried to
apply its federal law to international relations which constitutes a direct
challenge to the UN Charter and international law.
That is why the DPRK strongly condemns and rejects
the so called unilateral sanctions by the U.S., and all other countries in the
world also need to seriously ponder over the outrageous and unlawful act of the
U.S.
It is an undeniable realty that the DPRK has
manufactured atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, and even ICBM despite harsh
sanctions continuing for more than half a century. It is really pathetic to see
the lawmakers of the U.S. still running foolish and impudent failing to grasp
the key to the DPRK's success.
The sanctions campaign by the U.S. might work on the
other countries, but never with the DPRK.
As the respected Supreme Leader with far-sighted
wisdom, outstanding leadership art and incomparable grit and courage stands in
the van of our revolution and there are the single-minded unity of the army and
people around their leader and the great might of self-development, the DPRK
scores only victory one after another.
The sanctions by the U.S. has only worked to
redouble the indomitable spirit of our army and people closely rallied around
the leader and their unfathomable strength of self-reliance and
self-development and increase the DPRK's defence capability.
The recent second test-launch of ICBM Hwasong-14 by
the DPRK was meant to send a stern warning to the U.S. which is going reckless
and frantic, having suffered only crushing defeats in the all-out showdown with
the DPRK.
The U.S. trumpeting about war and threat to impose
extreme sanctions on the DPRK only increase the latter's vigilance and stamina,
and provides further justification for its access to nukes.
The anachronistic daydream of the U.S. politicians
of damaging by means of sanctions the overall national power and strategic
prestige of the DPRK which have been markedly boosted, is being subject to
humiliation within the U.S. as well.
The U.S. sanctions provide further justification for
the DPRK's measures to intensify the development of its nuclear force. The
countries abiding by this sanctions regime, instead of criticizing it, can't be
seen otherwise than the ones fueling the tensions on the Korean peninsula.
The U.S. had better deliberate on the ways to ensure
its home security rather than wasting its energy on the hopeless sanctions
racket against the DPRK.
