Pyongyang, February 19 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry
of the DPRK Thursday made public the following statement denouncing the
U.S. for making desperate efforts to fan up the atmosphere of pressure
upon the DPRK while taking issue with it over the non-existent "human
rights" issue:
In Washington on Feb. 17 the U.S. held a "conference on human
rights" against the DPRK under the absurd pretext of the first
anniversary of the "report of the UN Commission of Inquiry" (COI) on the
human rights situation in the DPRK.
It was reported that the U.S. staged a farce malignantly slandering
the DPRK, repeating the tattered false data, with the "envoy for the
human rights issue in north Korea" in the U.S. Department of State,
former and incumbent persons of the department and U.S. Congress, the
former chairman of the COI and its "special rapporteur" and "defectors
from the north" attending.
It has already been brought to light that the "report of COI" and
the "human rights resolution" of the UN General Assembly which were
cooked up by the U.S. last year were forcibly adopted on the basis of
the false testimonies of "defectors from the north".
The inhuman tortures by the CIA of the U.S. and other human rights
abuses in the U.S. were disclosed, sparking off big astonishment and
resentment of the international community.
The U.S., driven into the tight corner at home and abroad, is
kicking up the persistent "human rights" racket against the DPRK in
order to escape its poor plight and shift the international accusations
and attack onto others.
Great irony is that the U.S. held the nonsensical "conference on
human rights" while dreaming of "internal disorganization" though it
admitted itself that it has no chance to win military standoff with the
DPRK.
As we did at the time when the U.S. held a "meeting of high-ranking
officials on human rights in north Korea" before the UN General Assembly
last year, we strongly demanded this time the U.S. stop at once such
foolish farce and officially informed it of our just stand to take part
in the "conference" as the party concerned.
However, the U.S. finally refused to accept our demand only to
reveal itself that the "conference" is nothing but a back-street one.
If the U.S. and its allied forces are truly interested in human
rights, they should mind their own business by halting plot-breeding
racket such as "conference" and their human rights abuses such as
tortures in the U.S. and suppression on charges of the violation of the
"Security Law" in south Korea, condemned by the world.
The ceaseless despicable anti-DPRK "human rights" racket by the U.S.
and its stooges is hardening the will of the service personnel and
people of the DPRK to annihilate the enemies.
We are fully ready for any confrontation with the U.S. and will
shatter the reckless "human rights" racket by the hostile forces through
our toughest reaction.
The moves of the hostile forces to dare provoke the socialist system
of the DPRK which was chosen and has been consolidated by the Korean
people will not be able to escape disgraceful doom. -0-
