GUIDANCE TO COMBINED JOINT DRILL
OF KPA LARGE UNITS

Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, First Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army, organized and guided combined joint drill of the units under KPA Large Combined Units 572 and 630. He mounted the observation post to learn about the plan of the drill before issuing an order to start it.

Watching the course of the maritime transport group and landing formation, he advanced plans and tasks for containing the enemies' counteraction at the time of manoeuvring in the waters and approaching the coast for landing. Watching the fighters of special operation units landing on the coast and charging at a lightning speed to hit the "enemy's" targets, he expressed great satisfaction, saying "they are fighting well and no enemy troops would come to their senses when they are exposed to such attack."

He watched the whole course of the drill with keen attention and estimated its results before pointing out the shortcomings to overcome and indicating tasks and ways to do so. "I used to create circumstances all of a sudden any moment to personally organize and guide drills of units because the present drill is directly linked with the future fight and destiny of our country", he said.

He instructed all units of the KPA not to conduct drills, wedded to such ready-made norms as scenarios but stage a lot of rehearsals under the simulated conditions of an actual battle by creating various circumstances which they may encounter in a modern warfare and get prepared at all times to perform their duties after launching a battle the moment the Supreme Commander issues an order for mobilization after creating any conditions any time.

Noting that it is important to properly set the purpose of all drills and their tactical background, he underlined the need to frequently stage such combined joint rehearsals as the one conducted today to suit the nature of a modern warfare and meet the requirements of Juche-based war methods in order to bolster up the capability of units at various levels to conduct operations and improve the operation commanding ability of commanding officers by focusing main efforts on rounding off the close coordination among units of services and arms of the army and ensuring promptness, rapidity, unity and accuracy in combat actions.

He also stressed the need for all commanding officers and training officers of the KPA to study hard to cope with the enemies' ever-changing war modes, steadily improve the styles and methods of training and thus let all units conduct drills under the simulated conditions of an actual battle so that they may be staged with main emphasis on helping the servicemen acquire methods of combat actions useful in actual battles.

Recalling that there are still leftovers of formalism, expediency and stylish manner, he called for taking strong measures to root them out. He underscored the need for the whole army to more thoroughly arm itself with the revolutionary idea of the Party and make a hot wind of undergoing intensive training just as the anti-Japanese guerrillas did in Mt. Paektu  prevail  at  all  units  so   that  all service personnel may be prepared as tigers of Mt. Paektu possessed  of  Kim Il Sung-Kim Jong Il military strategy and tactics, perfect capability to fight an actual war, marksmanship of never missing targets and strong physical bodies, and thus turn all units into steel-strong guards units.

INTOLERABLE "HUMAN RIGHTS" RACKET

The National Defence Commission of the DPRK issued the following statement on November 23:

We have already seriously warned of the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by the reckless anti-DPRK "human rights" racket kicked up by the US and it followers. This warning was aimed to help cool their heads overheated by confrontation and hostile policy, though belatedly, and refrain from committing another anachronistic criminal act of challenging justice after judging the gravity of the situation with reason.

This measure taken by us aroused deep sympathy of the public at home and abroad and various righteous and upright countries made every possible effort to put the situation under control while voicing opposition to the US-orchestrated "human rights" racket against the DPRK. We feel sincerely thankful for this and will always remember it.

However, the US, steeped in brigandish bad habit, finally perpetrated such reckless action as fabricating the anti-DPRK "resolution on human rights" at the UN by manipulating riff-raffs bereft of elementary view and principle, instead of thinking twice. The US let the EU and Japan draft the "resolution" and UN member states blindly following and obeying it voted for it.

This hideous charade staged in the international arena is a shameless, politically-motivated farce to suppress justice with injustice and cover truth with lies and the height of impudent burlesque to deceive the world people. What happened there is lashing our service personnel and people into great fury and their determination to make retaliation against this is running high.

The US and its followers are now unable to escape merciless punishment for daring impair the prestige of the DPRK and foolishly trying to bring down the socialist system, the cradle of our people. The US and its followers adopted the extremely unreasonable "resolution on human rights" against the DPRK and, not content with this, continue behaving impudently as if they had put it in an awkward position. The NDC of the DPRK solemnly declares the following principled stand in this regard:

Firstly, our army and people categorically deny and reject the "resolution on human rights" fabricated by the US and its allies by abusing UN.

We have never recognized any "resolution" worked out by the US-led undesirable hostile forces to encroach upon our sovereignty and vital rights. The same is the case with the present "resolution."

This is because the present "resolution" is a fabrication made on the basis of misinformation provided by a handful of human scum who fled the country after committing unpardonable crimes before our country and its people and abandoning their native places and parents and wives and children. It is also because the "resolution" is a product of political fraud as it was railroaded through highhanded and arbitrary practices, allurement and bribery by hostile forces including the US, without expression of the free will of UN member states that sympathize with justice and value conscience.

Worse still, the "resolution" was adopted under the manipulation of the US which has sought the infringement upon our sovereignty in violation of the UN Charter which considers respect for the sovereignty of all countries and non-interference in their internal affairs as a basic principle. This "resolution" may work on those poor guys who throw away human dignity like a pair of old shoes, steeped in sycophancy and submission.

But it can never work on the DPRK, highly dignified with independence and demonstrating its might with self-defence and self-reliance. The US and Japan are the worst human rights abusers as they have mercilessly trampled down the peoples' rights to exist and live and develop and took countless human lives in Korea and other parts of the world for centuries. And such riff-raffs as the Park Geun Hye group of south Korea kowtowing to them joined them in sponsoring the above-said "resolution" reminiscent of a thief crying "Stop the thief!" This cannot but be a tragicomedy unprecedented in history.

Our army and people urge the Obama administration to make a formal apology by bending its knees before us for its crimes. This stand of ours is a warning served to Japan and riff-raffs of the EU as well as the Park Geun Hye group that they can also never go scot-free. This stand of the DPRK is, at the same time, a warning served to the UN to make haste to take a fair measure to put the situation under control, though belatedly.

The UN needs to seriously recollect the time when the DPRK declared a just nuclear thunder to defend its supreme interests 20 years back.

Secondly, our army and people will take an unprecedented toughest measure for mercilessly smashing the heinous "human rights" campaign against the DPRK as it has already declared.

The recent "resolution on human rights" is a full revelation of the hostile intention to stamp out everything dear to our army and people. Human rights precisely mean the right to independence and the sovereignty of a relevant country. Therefore, the brigandish "resolution" against the DPRK's genuine human rights means the most undisguised war declaration to infringe upon its sovereignty.

The recent "resolution" dared take issue with the dignity of our supreme leadership. This fact alone goes to prove that the sponsors of the "resolution" and all those involved in its adoption deserve a severe punishment. Because the dignity of the supreme leadership means the destiny of the DPRK which cannot be bartered for anything. The US is the primary target of our toughest countermeasure.

The US has run the whole gamut of hostile policies including the political isolation, economic blockade and military pressure upon the DPRK. As the US found all this unworkable on the DPRK, it is making desperate efforts to use the "human rights issue" for creating a new theatre for invasion under the pretext of armed intervention. We will take toughest counteraction against the US as already declared before the world, as long as its "human rights" racket and its hostile actions go on. Japan, too, can never escape this toughest counteraction of the DPRK.

It is the sworn enemy of the Korean people as it committed thrice-cursed crimes, crudely violating their human rights from the beginning of the last century like the US.

It is disgusting for Japan to pull up the DPRK over its genuine human rights just to please the US, far from repenting of its crime-woven past. Japan should bear in mind that if it continues behaving as now, it will disappear from the world map for good, not just remaining a near yet distant country.

The Park Geun Hye group is also the main target of the DPRK's toughest counteraction as it has turned the whole of south Korea into the worst tundra of human rights. We warned it enough to understand that its improper tongue-lashing would end in cutting off its head. It, however, is still busy talking rubbish about somebody's nukes and "human rights" and a sort of life. It would be well advised to realize itself what miserable end its heinous confrontation with compatriots will bring.

Availing ourselves of this opportunity, we would like to urge the UN to come to its senses and awaken itself.

If the UN allows the US to turn the inviolable political arena into a mayhem under the sway of its highhanded and arbitrary practices, abandoning the principle of impartiality and equity and its original mission and role, it will be hard to maintain its existence amid the world people's condemnation. Our army and people can never overlook the insult to our genuine human rights and the infringement upon the right to independence and sovereignty. Time will prove what high price those who unreasonably violated the dignity of the DPRK despite its warning will have to pay.

Thirdly, the US and its followers will be wholly accountable for the unimaginable and catastrophic consequences to be entailed by the frantic "human right" racket against the DPRK.

We offered the US a series of opportunities of redeeming its crimes by turning over a new leaf. Recently, the DPRK treated with magnanimity US high-ranking officials who came here, bringing with them Obama's personal letter and showed such humanitarian leniency to several American criminals who were sentenced to heavy penalties for violating the law of the DPRK. Nevertheless, the US responded to it with the frantic "human rights" racket against the DPRK.

We would like to question the Park Geun Hye group busy billing the adoption of the above-said "resolution" as a sort of a significant event. Does she think the Blue House will be safe if guns roar for aggression and a nuclear war breaks out on the Korean peninsula? Can she prolong her remaining days in America after leaving south Korea? Japan, a political pigmy, would be well advised to behave itself properly, cogitating about what miserable end it will meet.

Once a sacred war is launched to protect the sovereignty of the DPRK, not only the US but the Park Geun Hye group and Japan will have to be hit hard and sent to the bottom of the sea. The UN also can never evade the responsibility for the catastrophic consequences entailed by what happened there. All this is the DPRK's response to the "human rights" racket of the US-led hostile forces. Nobody can infringe upon the DPRK's sacred and supreme interests. It is the firm stand of the army and people of the DPRK not to tolerate the US and its followers' vicious "human rights" racket. The sponsors of the "resolution" and all those involved in its adoption will repent bitterly.
