The UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) today issued a statement condemning the reactionary stand of the British government on the DPRK as expressed by the UK Mission to the UN:

  On the 11th of March the Mission to the United Nations of the UK government issued a statement taking issue with the nonexistent 'human rights ' situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)  and basically supporting the false allegations against the DPRK made by the UN .
The statement also urged that pressure by the UN and others should be put on the DPRK  on the human rights issue . The statement demanded that the DPRK open itself to imperialist interference and sabotage. The British representative at the UN Human rights council on the 12th of March slandered the DPRK and attacked its record on human rights as well as number of progressive and anti-imperialists.
  UK KFA once again totally disassociates itself from the stand of the British government , which is not beneficial to the promotion of good relations between the UK and DPRK . Moreover we totally condemn the reactionary attitude of the British government and their attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the DPRK .
  It was once said that human rights are a political football. The Western countries such as the UK are trying to use human rights as lever to make the DPRK "open up " and "reform " , a lever to overthrow the socialist system and make the northern part of Korea  a colony .
The   DPRK is a people-centred country , that people enjoy rights to health care and education etc , that there are no unemployed or homeless people in the DPRK .The rights of women are guaranteed under the Constitution as well as by practical measures such as free childcare as well the absence of immoral pornography which degrades women.
 Rather than try to interfere in the DPRK , the UK should look to its own affairs before criticising the DPRK . The numbers of homeless people are rising by the day, some of the homeless have died on the streets, what about their human rights. Many people have to go to Food-banks for food and the unemployed have been forced into unpaid slave labour. Human rights like charity should begin at home.
 The British government should stop slandering the socialist system of the DPRK , should stop interfering in the DPRK's affairs and should build a healthy relationship of genuine friendship and mutual benefit with the DPRK.
