Pyongyang,
July 9 (KCNA) -- The department director for foreign affairs of the DPRK
Ministry of Land and Environment Protection issued the following press
statement on July 9:
Today
mankind, exposed to serious ecological challenge and threat due to El
Nino-brought extremely high temperature and natural disasters, has faced
another calamity to be brought by discharge of nuclear-polluted water.
On
July 4, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a "general
assessment report" saying if the nuclear-polluted water of the Fukushima
Atomic Power Plant in Japan is discharged into the Pacific, it will have
"minimal" impact on such environmental factors as water quality,
marine animals and sediments.
Japan
is planning to discharge at least 1.3 million tons of nuclear-polluted water
into the Pacific from this summer, putting forward the IAEA's
"report" as "legal justification".
If
a large quantity of nuclear-polluted water is discharged into the Pacific, radioisotope
materials will diffuse into an area covering the half of the Pacific within 57
days and into the whole world in 10 years, and these radioactive materials
include tritium and carbon-14 requiring a half-life of 5 000 years, which will
have fatal adverse impact on the human lives and security and ecological
environment by causing malignant tumors and other diseases.
What
matters is the unreasonable behavior of IAEA actively patronizing and
facilitating Japan's projected discharge of nuclear-polluted water which is so
terrible to imagine.
IAEA
is not a body for evaluating environment. There is no provision or clause in
international law specifying that IAEA is entitled to allow a specific country
or region to discharge nuclear-polluted water.
The
World Health Organization specializing in ensuring human life, security and
health currently exists and many environmental protection organizations express
their opposition and concern over it. So the question is why IAEA, with no
accredited authority, is zealously backing Japan's discharge plan.
No
wonder, it has been reported that Japan offered one million euros to the IAEA personnel
involved in the inspection of Japan's planned discharge of nuclear-contaminated
water, and the Japanese government obtained the draft final report of IAEA
beforehand and modified it. It is not fortuitous that such scandals are being
brought to light one after another.
The
IAEA director general, who pulled up a sovereignty state over the exercise of
its legitimate right, is actively patronizing the illegal and unethical act of
Japan to imperil the lives and security of humankind and ecological environment.
This is just a typical expression of extreme double standards.
Japan,
which had inflicted untold misfortune and pain upon Asian countries in the past
century, is doggedly denying and embellishing its blood-stained past, far from
making an apology and reparation. It even seeks to bring a calamity to
humankind, a heinous crime that can never be pardoned for all ages, by bribing
such a venal body as IAEA even today in the 2020s.
Worse
still, the U.S. and south Korea openly express unseemly "welcome" to
Japan's discharge plan that deserves condemnation and rejection, provoking
strong anger of the public.
This
goes to fully prove that the ecological environment of the earth has been
exposed to a serious threat, due to a handful of ill-minded forces pursuing
their geopolitical aim in disregard of human lives and security and ecological
environment.
The
dishonest elements of IAEA whose minds are seriously polluted by hegemony and
corruption and the countries like the U.S. zealously patronizing them should be
wiped off the earth immediately.
The
just international community should not overlook such hideous, inhumane and
anti-peace acts of the black-hearted forces to pollute this blue planet, the
cradle of life for all humanity and their descendants, with nuclear- polluted
water, but thoroughly foil them by dint of solidarity and unity.
