Pyongyang, November 21 (KCNA) –
A
spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea issued the following press statement on Nov. 21: At the
meeting of Third Committee of the 76th Session of the United Nations General
Assembly held on November 17, the United States and other hostile forces have
forced the adoption of anti-DPRK "human rights resolution" which only
serves to smear the true human rights situation in our country.
The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK strongly denounces and categorically
rejects the anti-DPRK "human rights resolution" of the hostile forces
as it is a product of anti-DPRK hostile policy and double standard as well as a
grave infringement upon the sovereignty aimed at tarnishing the prestigious
image of our state.
The
said "resolution" is nothing more than a document of stereotyped
fraud as it is all about fabrications cooked up by the hostile forces that harbour
the inveterate repugnance and prejudice against us. In our country - where the
people-first politics run through the state activities and overall social life
- all lines and policies of the state thoroughly serve to give the highest and
absolute priority to the people's rights and interests and to promote the
well-being of the people.
The
countries picking on our "human rights issue" are unexceptionally the
worst violators of human rights with horrible human rights records such as
racial discrimination, national chauvinism, and violence against women, police violence
and gun-related crime.
The
African Americans' crying of "I can't breathe" which has now been
recorded in history as a synonym for racial discrimination is a warning bell to
the institutional practices of human rights violation that are widespread in
the U.S. and the Western countries keeping up the pretence of being
"civilized states in the field of human rights."
The
United Nations, if it is to fulfil its intrinsic mission the pillar of which is
ensuring objectivity, equity and impartiality, should not fail to take up and
bring to account the inhumane crimes committed by the U.S. that killed a large
number of civilians in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan under the pretext of
"democracy" and "protection of human rights." The international
society should raise its due vigilance over the negative tendencies that human
rights issue is misused by some countries as a means for realizing their
sinister intentions, and that the august forum of United Nations is exploited
for justifying the undisguised interference in the internal affairs of
sovereign states and the regime change.
To
us, human rights are, after all, state rights. We will never tolerate any
attempts that violate the sovereignty of our state, and we will continue to
resolutely counter to the end the ever worsening moves of the hostile forces
against us
