KCNA Slashes out at Dishonest Forces' Political Provocation

Pyongyang, October 22 (KCNA) -- Recently some dishonest forces including Japan are working hard to cook up another "resolution on human rights in north Korea" in the arena of the United Nations.

Such "resolution on human rights" shaped and presented by them every year is a typical example of politicization of human rights, selectivity and double standards as it is full of falsity, fraud and mud-slinging.

It is an outcome of the conspiratorial and criminal scenario of the hostile forces to defame the dignity of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and stifle its sacred socialist system and a revelation of their deep-rooted confrontational campaign.

The reality of the DPRK, in which the dream and ideal of the people are translated into reality, clearly proves how preposterous the story of the dishonest forces about "human rights" is.

The human rights issue is found in Western countries where the misanthropy and abnormal way of life are rampant.

It is very self-evident that "civilization" and "standard" of Western countries cannot be the human rights standard of the world as those countries have already turned into a barren land of human rights for embodying the imperialistic viewpoint of thinking and view of value and way of life to look down upon, suppress and dominate others.

Moreover, no one in the international community has ever given those countries a privilege to set the world "human rights standard."

In particular, Japan becoming a shock brigade of "human rights racket" against the DPRK is a criminal state against humanity recognized by the world as it has no face and justification to talk about someone's "human rights issue".

It is a mockery and insult to justice and human rights that Japan, which committed the unethical crimes against the Korean nation and other Asian countries but has made no apology for them, is taking the lead in the "human rights" campaign.

What merits attention is that the outdated "human rights racket" continues even at a time when the situation in and around the Korean Peninsula turned to dialogue and peace thanks to the positive efforts of the DPRK.

This is a deliberate politically-motivated provocation to escalate the sanctions and pressure on the DPRK and block the favorably-developing trend of dialogue and peace under the pretext of the "human rights issue".

The DPRK attaches importance to international cooperation for the protection and promotion of genuine human rights, but will not remain a passive onlooker to any attempt for sinister political purpose under the pretext of the "human rights issue". -0-
