KCNA Slams U.S. Diplomatic Chief′s Rigmaroles about DPRK′s Human Rights Record

Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- The United States' accusations against the DPRK over its "human rights record" never cease.

The U.S. diplomatic chief was reported to have blustered recently that the DPRK "keeps abusing the rights of its inhabitants" and "the U.S. would continue strongly censure the north's threat."

This is another unpardonable infringement upon the sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK and a wanton violation of human rights and democracy.

Human rights precisely mean sovereign rights and vice versa.

It is a grave infringement upon sovereign rights and human rights abuses to deny the socialist system chosen and upheld by the Korean people and say this or that about it.

There are no "human rights issues" for us.

There can be no such things in the light of the intrinsic nature of the socialist system which serves the people, placing them in the centre of everything.

It is none other than the U.S. that deserves accusation and condemnation over human rights.

The demonstrations which started in Wall Street are a manifestation of Americans' resentment at the U.S., the worst human rights abuser, and a judgment of it.

A countless number of people are groaning in pain and despair, left homeless as their houses have become objects of speculation.

403 000 people were newly registered as jobless throughout the U.S. for a week till October 15. This is indicative of the serious jobless problem.

The number of the poor reached 46.2 million last year, 2.6 million more than the previous year and the standard of Americans' living is the worst in decades.

Occurring in an unbroken chain are various crimes including gun-related crimes, theft and rape, etc. as the American society is governed by the jungle law based on individual selfishness.

Nowhere in the world is such country as the U.S. where people's right to live and right to existence are wantonly violated.

The U.S. is a tundra of human rights and a backward country in human rights record. It is the world's worst human rights abuser.

Guiltless people are falling victim to U.S. forces' attacks in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan even at this hour.

It was GIs who committed sexual assaults against teenage school girls, sparking off great uproar in south Korea recently.

The U.S. is grossly violating the universally recognized international laws and a lot of innocent people are thrown behind bars without any trial on charges of "terrorism." They are used as guinea pigs of experiments on human bodies.

The world is now critical of the unethical crimes being committed by the U.S. as it is mercilessly violating the sovereignty of sovereign states under the pretext of "defence of human rights" and savagely destroying people's cradles and hurting their dignity.

The U.S. would be well advised to mind its own business before talking about somebody's "human rights record."

The "human rights diplomacy" aimed at infringing upon the DPRK's sovereignty and dignity can never go with dialogue. -0-
