heroic people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
On
March 3rd the UN passed a resolution including the toughest and most
unjust sanctions to which the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
and especially the people of this country, have ever been subjected
to.
All
part of an attempt labeled by the international press, unaware of the
complexity of the situation as "a punishment" for DPRK's
normal right of any sovereign state, namely bringing a civilian
satellite on the Earth orbit, when other countries such as India,
Pakistan and Israel undertake frequent intercontinental ballistic
missile tests without being punished by anyone!
The
international press, used as a "transmission belt"
also by some publications from my country fails in bringing to our
attention a truth: namely that in the last seven years the DPRK
requested many times through its Permanent Mission at the UN
headquarters in New York the possibility of engaging direct
negotiations at bilateral level with the US. Every time, the DPRK has
asked for something very simple and very logical, namely signing a
lasting peace, to give serious security guarantees to the Korean
people, replacing the armistice agreement that ended the conflict in
July of 1953 .
The
US, South Korea and Japan have called for this resolution whose sole
purpose is a collective punishment for the entire Korean population.
The
resolution imposes a total ban on the export of gold, titanium ,
vanadium and other rare metals from the DPR of Korea and the imports
of coal, iron and iron ore from other countries.
The
Resolution prohibits other states from selling to the DPRK kerosene
or other fuels used in civilian aviation and also denies the DPRK
from its normal right of operating charter flights.
Moreover,
the US is pressing the Chinese side not to respect its already
established contracts meant to import minerals from the DPR of Korea,
as well as those contracts referring to providing aliments. The
result: a very clear and painful one!!! With about 70 per cent
mountainous terrain, this country won't be able to satisfy its
agricultural and food necessities, so these measures are only meant
to plunge the country into famine, giving a heavy blow to the heroic
Korean people.
The
resolution will also thwart the right of vessels under Korean flag
from entering foreign ports, in an obvious effort to block the
exchange of goods with this country and the international trade
involving Pyongyang, a serious violation of the Convention on Montego
Bay, from the 12th December 1982 regarding the law of the Sea .
In
addition, the above mentioned resolution also seeks to prevent
Pyongyang's access to the international banking system and many other
aspects meant to suffocate the Korean people .
The
“Worker's Romania” Association considers that a long
lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula can only be achieved through
independence and full equality, noninterference in internal affairs,
the right of the Koreans to determine their own political line
independently.
We
firmly pronounce ourselves against this inhumane resolution and we
ask both the United States and South Korea to refrain from such
gestures and measures, which are not peaceful and will further
complicate the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
We
are also asking the United States to seriously analyze the
possibility of replacing the armistice agreement with a durable
peace, offering the DPR of Korea clear security guarantees, meant to
bring the expected lasting peace and the tranquility of a people
already troubled by the sad reality of its division.
