A spokesman for the
Foreign Ministry of the DPRK issued
on November
21 the following statement in connection
with the fact
that anti-DPRK “human rights
resolution” was railroaded
through the third committee of the 70th UN General Assembly:
The “resolution” worked out
and submitted by the EU and Japan under the manipulation of the
US is peppered with fraud,
swindle and malignant vituperations against the DPRK from A to Z. We
categorically reject the “human rights resolution”, a vivid expression of the
US hostile policy towards the DPRK and a typical example of politicization of
human rights, selectivity and double-standards, as it is a serious
politically-motivated provocative document.
Those countries which sponsored
the “resolution” have neither face nor
justification to pull
up others in the light of their
hypocritical nature and their current poor human rights record. Those who
should be brought to justice are the US, the world’s worst human rights tundra
and worst human rights abuser, the
EU which resorts to inhuman treatment of refugees and Japan which has not made
any admittance, apology and reparation for its hideous human rights crimes in
the past.
These forces used whopping
lies presented by such human scum as “defectors from the north” who fled the
homeland after committing indelible crimes against the country and their kith
and kin as “evidence” for drafting the said “resolution.” Truth about the facts
has repeatedly been brought to light in the world’s eyes. One has to confirm
things with one’s own eyes before slandering others. That’s why we invited
officials concerned including the EU representative for human rights issue and the UN high commissioner
for human rights
to visit the
DPRK and see for
themselves the advantageous human rights system and
policies of prioritizing the people and showing loving care for them which are
admired by many people, while urging them not to just lend an ear to rubbish talked
by riff-rafts. We, at the same time, proposed sincere dialogue and cooperation
in the field of human rights out of magnanimity.
However, they cancelled the
visit to the DPRK for a political reason that can convince no one and other
unreasonable reason and peddled again “draft resolution” against the DPRK in
collusion with the hostile forces. Such attitude of the EU clearly proves the
true aim sought by the body which styles itself a “human rights champion.” The
recent railroading of the “resolution” clearly proves once again the essence
and absurdity of the “human rights” campaign of the hostile forces including
the US which is aimed at overturning the social system in the DPRK as well as
the true nature of the UN human rights bodies which threw off the principle of
impartiality and neutrality, bound to the US and the West.
We stand for genuine
dialogue and cooperation in the human rights field but will never tolerate those
deliberately shunning our sincere
will for cooperation
and seeking to keep
pressuring the DPRK to achieve a sinister political
purpose.
The tragic developments in
the Mid-east and several countries which were thrown into political chaos and bloodshed
clearly prove what
dear price one
has to pay for allowing
interference in internal affairs that is perpetrated under
the pretexts of “human rights” and “democracy”. The miserable situation in several
regions of the world eloquently
proves
that human rights precisely mean sovereignty and it is quite
right for the DPRK to respond to any plot to overthrow the socialist system in
the DPRK with a tough stand.
Now that
the UN is being
abused as a theatre for hurling
slanders at
the DPRK under
the manipulation of the US and the West, the DPRK will take
corresponding measures. The hostile forces have to clearly understand that they
can gain nothing from their frantic anti-DPRK ‘human rights’ campaign and
sinister intrigues.
DPRK “human rights”
campaign and sinister intrigues.
