International Human Rights Arena Should Not Be Tarnished

Some time ago, the “special rapporteur” on human rights situation in the DPRK again let loose a string of remarks viciously vilifying and slandering our state at the 49th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

The “special rapporteur” on human rights situation in the DPRK is by nature a “post” rigged by the illegal anti-DPRK “human rights resolution” which was fabricated by the U.S. and the West out of their objectives to disrupt our single-hearted unity and overthrow our socialist system.

It is axiomatic that we can never expect any fair and impartial words from this “special rapporteur”.

In fact, what the “special rapporteur” did in the last 6 years was only the blind disregard of the superior policy of our Republic on protecting and promoting human rights and the reality of our people enjoying human rights, taking sides with the U.S. and other impure forces. He also helped mislead the world public opinion by spreading in the name of UN the fabrications running through with all sorts of falsehood and invention.

This time, the “special rapporteur” blamed us maliciously until the end of the session. This only nakedly discloses his despicable identity as a puppet and a mouthpiece of anti-DPRK “human rights” racket of the U.S.

The “report” of his invention, too, is nothing but a fake document not worth a farthing which was cooked up with false information provided by the dishonest and hostile elements whose inveterate repugnance and hostility towards our Republic have reached the extreme.

In our country, the people-first politics has been applied in the overall social life thoroughly that people’s rights and interests are given to the highest and absolute priority and their dignity and rights are firmly guaranteed.

Many foreigners who have witnessed with their own eyes our people’s enjoyment of genuine human rights are never sparing their voices of admiration, and they are expressing indignation at dirty acts of the West and its puppets who are misusing human rights as the political tool for their aggression against and interference into the internal affairs of sovereign states.

No wonder that many countries ridiculed and coldly treated the “special rapporteur” at the session as he wrecked and violated the impartiality and objectivity of human rights, saying that the office of special rapporteur dealing with individual countries including the “special rapporteur” on human rights situation in the DPRK is, in essence, rigged in order to pursue political purposes of the West.

The reality clearly shows that no matter how desperate efforts the U.S. and the West may make by putting their puppets like the “special rapporteur” on human rights situation in the DPRK at the forefront, the world trend towards independence and justice cannot be checked.

Human rights are immediately state rights.

As in the past so also in the future, we will not in the least acknowledge the “special rapporteur” on human rights situation in the DPRK, and we will totally break off relations with him.

We will show zero tolerance for anybody who dares to provoke our sovereign rights.
