Press Statement by Vice-Minister for Int'l Organizations of DPRK Foreign Ministry


Pyongyang, September 9 (KCNA) -- Kim Son Gyong, vice-minister for International Organizations of the DPRK Foreign Ministry, released the following press statement on Sunday:


The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights recently released a report seriously fabricating and distorting the human rights situation in the DPRK under the name of the UN secretary-general.


The report is just a hideous anti-DPRK conspiratorial and confrontation document cooked up by the hostile forces with the ulterior intention to tarnish the image of our state.


I scathingly condemn the move of the hostile forces to hurt the dignity and social system of the DPRK by abusing the name of the UN as an unpardonable politically-motivated provocation and infringement upon the sovereignty.


The report of hostile nature, which copied the false and fabricated data provided by the impure forces against the DPRK, clearly proves that the UN secretary-general is acting under the pulls and pressure of the U.S. and its followers.


The present state of the UN, which is based on the illegal human rights standard set by the U.S., not on the UN Charter and universal international human rights laws, is one of the main reasons why the human rights situation has not yet been improved in the world.


The UN secretary-general and relevant human rights organizations should take issue with the existing and poor human rights situation of the U.S. before talking about someone's non-existent "human rights issue".


Which is the country where all sorts of hatred and crimes are rampant due to social contradiction and confrontation and blacks thrash about in the high-handed practices, and which is the rogue state that brutally suppresses the peaceful demonstration of students opposing the unethical massacre of Israel in Gaza Strip?


Which country is a brazen-faced criminal state which does not feel any remorse for all sorts of heinous crimes including the sexual assaults by its soldiers stationed in other countries on the natives, far from making an apology for them, though they have been revealed one after another to create a sensation in the world?


It is clear double standards that the UN human rights organization without any courage to comment on the U.S., the top-class criminal state, groundlessly takes issue with the "human rights issue" of an individual country. And it is a deliberate negligence in fulfilling its responsibility and mission entrusted by its Charter.


The only threat to the human rights of the DPRK people is the hostile policy toward the DPRK pursued by the U.S. and its followers.


The DPRK government will as ever remain faithful to its mission to thoroughly guarantee the people's security and well-being and genuine rights to live from the hostile forces' human rights abuses, whatever others may say. -0-
