Why Does U.S. Shout Hoarse "Human Rights": Korea Association for Human Rights Studies

Pyongyang, September 7 (KCNA) -- Ri Jin, researcher of the Korea Association for Human Rights Studies, made public the following article:

Shortly ago, an official concerned of the spokesmen's office of the U.S. Department of State faulted the DPRK again, deliberately linking its measure for bolstering military capability for self-defence to the "human rights issue".

Talking about "exclusive use of fund" and "deterioration of humanitarian situation", he said that the U.S. will concentrate on making human rights a focus of its DPRK diplomatic policy.

This is another grave provocation violating sovereignty of our dignified state under the pretext of "human rights".

Powerful national defence capabilities constitute the cornerstone for the existence of a state and provide a reliable guarantee for the dignity and security of the country and its people as well as for defence of peace. To steadily develop them is an exercise of the just right for defending the sovereign right to and the right to development of the country.

A question is why does the U.S. reel off "human rights" rhetoric all the time.

It is aimed to stem the strenuous development of our national defence capabilities and, furthermore, realize its ambition for stifling the DPRK.

It is a revelation of its attempt at stronger and more open enforcement of its hostile policy toward the DPRK over the "human rights issue".

Nothing is more foolish than to think about deterring the exercise of our just right with the groundless story about advocacy for "human rights".

The "human rights issue" often touted by the U.S. has nothing to do with the genuine human rights. Moreover, the U.S. is a kingpin of human rights that has neither qualifications nor face to talk about the human rights of someone.

It is a worst unethical criminal state and a hooligan state that has grown corpulent with ceaseless aggression and plunder since its birth.

It is the most belligerent country that has gotten involved in nearly 400 wars over 240 years.

Its unethical wars and military activities under the signboard of "war on terrorism" since 2001 claimed more than 920 000 innocent lives and produced more than 3.8 million evacuees in many countries and regions including Iraq and Syria.

So horrible is the human rights performance in the U.S., too.

In the U.S. at least 40 million people live in constant poverty and one family of seven and over 12 millions of children are suffering from starvation.

With the gun-related crimes increasing with nonstop, the number of deaths recorded more than 120 last year alone, which deepens racial and religious stand-off, distrust and conflicts.

However, the U.S. is pouring colossal amounts of fund for military modernization including nuclear weapons, being keen on world hegemony, while paying no need to the poor human rights performance of its people.

According to data announced by the international movement for dismantling nukes and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the U.S. spent approximately 801 billion US$ for military field and 44.2 billion US$ for nuclear weapon development in 2021.

Does it really hold water for such a country to fault the measure for increasing defence capabilities of other country over "human rights issue".

Now the international community spits at the U.S. "human rights" rhetoric and sternly denounces and rejects any attempt to politicize human rights.

The U.S. must deeply repent of its own filthy human rights violation before faulting "human rights issue" of other countries. -0-
