              2nd of August Juche 112(2023)
The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK (ASSPUK) , the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI), the UK Korean Friendship Association (UK KFA ), and the British Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification in Korea (BSCPRKP) issued a joint statement in support of the press statement of spokesman for the Korea Association for Human Rights Studies of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK );

Recently the administration of Sleepy Joe Biden foolishly decided to appoint a so-called 'human rights envoy for north Korea '. Of course, such a thing is totally unnecessary because there is no 'human rights problem ' in People's Korea and the internal affairs of the DPRK are a matter of its own jurisdiction and sovereignty; others should not poke their noses into it.

The Biden regime appointed one Julie Turner as the so-called 'envoy ' for human rights in the DPRK.Ms Turner has a long record as a US state department bureaucrat and has interfered in the affairs of many countries slandering them. As the statement of the DPRK Korea Association for Human Rights Studies says "The fact that such a wicked woman was appointed as an "envoy for the human rights issue" of the U.S. Department of State clearly shows how hostile the U.S. administration is toward the DPRK."

Really the act of appointing a 'human rights envoy ' for the DPRK is an act of undeclared war against People's Korea, it is part of the great conspiracy against People's Korea. Basically, the US imperialists hope to overthrow the socialist system of People's Korea using the 'human rights issue ' as a mechanism.

The US, a country full of homelessness and systematic racism, should really put its own house before it attempts to interfere in other countries. In fact, it is the US that should be investigated for human rights abuses, not People's Korea.

We strongly support the DPRK's rejection of the appointment of the so-called 'envoy for human rights ' and denounce the US imperialists for their schemes for regime change in People's Korea!

US HANDS OFF PEOPLE'S KOREA!

Reflections on the 7.27 Military Parade -by Dr Dermot Hudson Chairman KFA UK and Chairman of the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea

The grand military parade of the DPRK for the 70th anniversary of the victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War was held on the 27th of July in the presence of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN and guests from neighbouring countries were a truly magnificent event. It can be said that the parade surpassed all previous military parades. It can be said that each DPRK military parade is better than the one before it. So far this year the DPRK has held two military parades and last year it held a massive military parade for the 90th anniversary of the foundation of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army. So the DPRK has held 3 military parades in 18 months.

The military parades of the DPRK reflect the rising prosperity and increasing national strength of the DPRK. The imperialists and their reptile mainstream media are claiming that there is ‘famine ‘ and ‘starvation ‘ in the DPRK but if this was true it would have been impossible for the DPRK to stage such big military parades let alone two big military parades within just under 6 months of each other. 

The July 27th parade demonstrated the might of the DPRK and its invincible single-hearted unity. It showed how efficient the DPRK is. Moreover, it demonstrated that People’s Korea is unbowed by the draconian and unfair sanctions of the US imperialists and their vassal states. Seen on the parade were the latest ICBMs of the General Missile Bureau of the Korean People’s Army (KPA ). The sanctions of the imperialists had been unable to stop the DPRK from building and testing such missiles. Indeed the neighbouring countries of the DPRK, who once doubted the DPRK’s nuclear and ICBM programme, even going as far as to vote in the UN Security Council against it , could only watch in wonderment as the mighty weapons of Juche paraded past!

                                                             

There were many impressive features of the parade, in fact too numerous to mention. What impressed me was not only seeing the veterans of the great Fatherland Liberation War such as Marshal Ri Myong Su and comrade Choe Yong Rim in the parade but the sight of Tank No 312 driving along with a certain majesty.KPA Tank No 312 of the Seoul Guards Ryu Kyong Su no 105 Tank Division was the first tank of the KPA to enter Seoul on the 28th of June. The presence of Tank no 312 not only symbolised the continuity of the revolutionary traditions of the DPRK but also the aspiration of the Korean people for national reunification, to live as one. I certainly hope to see the day when KPA tanks again drive along the streets of Seoul and the flag of the DPRK flies over the Chongwadae ( south Korean presidential palace )!

Press Statement by Spokesman for Korea Association for Human Rights Studies

Pyongyang, August 2 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Korea Association for Human Rights Studies Tuesday issued the following press statement:

It was reported that the U.S. Congress recently approved Julie Turner, named by Biden as an "envoy for the human rights issue in north Korea" of the Department of State.

Julie Turner, a woman of ambiguous origin and nationality, has gained notoriety for plotting anti-DPRK "human rights" schemes while spitting out coarse invectives against the DPRK in the past.

Her absurd remarks are nothing but grumbles of either a person ignorant of even the concept of human rights or a human rights abuser embodying the inveterate bad habit of the U.S. which revels in meddling in the internal affairs of a sovereign state and slandering it.

Now that such a person has dealt with "human rights issues" at the U.S. Department of State for 16 years, how many countries and nations have suffered mud-slinging from her.

The fact that such a wicked woman was appointed as an "envoy for the human rights issue" of the U.S. Department of State clearly shows how hostile the U.S. administration is toward the DPRK.

Turner, who had served as a junior official of the Department of State for more than ten years, is said to be looking forward to working as an "envoy for the human rights issue in north Korea" as early as possible. It seems that she regards the post of "envoy for the human rights issue" as a high government post.

Turner should know that she was chosen as a political housemaid and scapegoat for the "human rights" plots to pressure the DPRK, a poor policy set forth by the Biden administration driven into a scrape in the DPRK-U.S. nuclear confrontation.

Former U.S. administrations resorted to confrontation rackets against the DPRK, fingering the "human rights card", but, eventually, they could not but suffer greater defeat and disgrace. And it is the miserable end of "envoys for the human rights issue in north Korea" of the U.S. Department of State that would retire in dishonor without any achievements during their term.

Turner will horribly realize that her job of playing the main role in the U.S. administration's foolhardy "human rights" racket is one hundred times worse than a lifetime junior official of the Department of State.

Lamentation and regret over destruction always come too late.

The U.S. is now getting frantic in its "human rights" smear campaign while maximizing its military hostile acts against the DPRK. This reality once again teaches the DPRK to force, with more powerful and merciless counteraction than ever, the U.S. to pay a high price enough to be unforgettable.

A retaliatory action of justice is bound to follow a sinister move.

The U.S. should ponder all its words and deeds, mindful that the "human rights issue in north Korea" can backfire on it spawning severe security issues. -0-

Provocation to Be Surely Made to Pay

Pyongyang, August 2 (KCNA) -- Ryu Kyong Chol, a researcher of the Korea-Europe Association, issued the following article "Provocation will be surely made to pay" on August 1:

Some days ago, a formation of fighter planes of the French Air Force staged a joint aerial drill in the region of south Korea with the puppet air force.

This is an irresponsible act of fanning up the acute tensions in the Korean Peninsula and an undisguised military provocation of threatening the security and interests of the DPRK, in support of the U.S. hostile policy towards it.

The U.S. is now operating the "Nuclear Consultative Group", a nuclear war mechanism, with the south Korean puppets, while pushing ahead with the nuclear war scheme against the DPRK at the practical stage. And it has deployed a super-large strategic nuclear submarine loaded with nuclear warheads enough to reduce a country to ashes, driving the situation of the Korean Peninsula to the brink of a nuclear war.

Just at this time, France dispatched its fighter planes to the Korean Peninsula which is technically at war. It cannot be construed otherwise than an act of regarding the DPRK as an enemy.

Such dispatch to our enemy's area was made at the time when our people, who paid a dear price to defend their country from the aggression by the U.S. and its allies following it blindly, were celebrating the anniversary of victory in the war. This arouses due indignation of the DPRK people.

If other country's fighter planes fly to the sky above the Strait of Dover and its vicinity, in league with France's enemy country, to pose threat to the security of Paris, we wonder how the French people will react to this.

Without taking into consideration the situation of the Korean Peninsula going to the brink of war and the feelings of the DPRK people, France dispatched its fighters to the region of south Korean puppets. The fact goes to prove that France has not yet drawn a lesson from the last Korean War in which it shed insignificant blood for the so-called ally.

This is not the first time France took action against the DPRK.

It is well known to everyone that France criticized every measure of the DPRK for bolstering up its military capability for self-defence to cope with the nuclear threat from the U.S. and persistently got on the nerves of the DPRK by sending warships and patrol planes to the waters of the Korean Peninsula.

France had better stop wasting its energies in the Asia-Pacific region with insufficient national power and set right its home situation of serious disorder due to the social discord.

If it continues to run amuck without discretion in the Korean Peninsula, the biggest hotspot, as now, it will find itself in an undesirable situation.

France should not go berserk with irresponsible remarks and reckless military acts, far from affirmatively contributing to defusing the touch-and-go situation created due to the reckless military moves of the U.S. and the south Korean warlike forces. -0-

U.S. – World’s Greatest Hotbed of Human Trafficking

 2023.7.31.

http://www.mfa.gov.kp/view/article/17438

July 30 is the World Day against Trafficking in Persons.

Dozens of international agreements banning slavery were concluded in the past 150 years. But, around the globe today, many people are being reduced to modern slaves and trafficked more than ever before in the whole of human history.

Data shows that across the world, hundreds of thousands of people are being tricked by human traffickers and trafficked to other countries every year. And the criminals are said to be making huge annual profits of about $ 150 bn.

The U.S., which professes to play a “leading role” against human trafficking, has now gained notoriety as the world’s greatest “slave importer” with the largest inflow of victims of human trafficking.

The AP recently carried a story about 4 offenders who were arrested in Texas for having trafficked many foreign immigrants to the U.S. from December 2021 to June 2022.

They were also said to be involved in the “most gruesome case of human trafficking in U.S. history” which shocked the world when over 50 immigrants were found dead in an abandoned train in the suburbs of San Antonio, Texas in June last year.

Today, human traffickers make use of deceptive methods such as offering employment and passports, and even resort to abduction and kidnapping to continue their black market business of buying and selling countless people including women and children as if they were slaves or merchandise. Immigrants who arrived in the U.S. with high hopes thinking it would be “heaven” soon discover it is a living hell.

According to a Global Times report on 19 August 2021, more than 100 000 people are trafficked into the U.S. annually for forced labour with most of them coming from over 40 countries and regions including India, Mexico, Vietnam, Africa, and Central and South America.

These people work like slaves without any protection of labour or employment laws.

Recently, a U.S. Senator said that tens of thousands of children are being subjected to human trafficking in the country and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security admitted the fact that the lost 85,000 Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) released into the U.S. over the last two years are still not tracked down and most of them are being trafficked in labour markets.

This vividly illustrates the dire human trafficking situation of the U.S.

All the above facts prove clearly that the U.S. is the world’s biggest kingdom of human trafficking and human rights violator which has neither the qualifications nor the face to criticise anyone else.

Notwithstanding the dire human trafficking situation of the country, the U.S. poses as a “human rights judge” of the world. It brazenly releases annual “country reports on human trafficking practices” grading the countries according to its own yardstick. The U.S. takes advantage of the release of such reports as an opportunity to even interfere in internal affairs and impose sanctions against the countries of its dislike and misuses human trafficking issue to implement the hegemonic policy.

The U.S. is well advised to remedy its own dire human trafficking situation before using human trafficking issue to realize its hegemonic policy while posing as a “human rights judge”.

Japan's Defence White Paper Criticized

Japan's Defence White Paper Criticized

Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- Kim Sol Hwa, a researcher of the Institute for Japan Studies of the DPRK Foreign Ministry, issued the following article "Japan's defence white paper confusing right and wrong" on August 1:

Japan made public the "2023 Defence White Paper" on July 28.

As was expected, Japan in the white paper justified its moves for turning itself into a military giant, clamoring about "the most severe and complicated security environment after the Second World War" and "advent of the era of new crisis" under the pretext of "threat from neighboring countries".

It defined Russia as "serious security anxiety" and China as "unprecedented biggest strategic challenge" and described their joint military activities in around the Japan archipelago as "deliberate demonstration against Japan and serious security anxiety".

It also termed the DPRK a "more grave and urgent threat to Japan's security than before", asserting that "it is escalating the provocation reminiscent of more actual fighting."

As to the "threats from neighboring countries" mentioned by Japan so often, it is nothing but a smoke screen to justify its moves towards turning itself into a major military power.

This is clearly proved by the fact that Japan, in its defence white paper, doesn’t conceal its sinister intention to fundamentally bolster up its defence capabilities, asserting that Ukraine suffered "invasion" by Russia for the lack of deterrence, and is planning to put spurs to the execution of its new security strategy adopted at the end of last year, terming its "counterattack capability", to be possessed, "the key to curbing invasion".

It has been widely recognized that the U.S. and its followers are the chieftain that cooked up various forms of confrontation alliance in the vast Asia-Pacific region and totally destroys the regional peace and stability by continuously sending nuclear carrier task force, nuclear strategic bombers and other strategic assets to the Korean peninsula, the Taiwan Strait and other hotspots.

Japan playing a big role in such movement now trumpets about "threats from neighboring countries" which nobody cares about. This is nothing but a cunning trick peculiar to Japan to confuse right and wrong by diverting criticism from the international community against it to others.

If Japan, zealously joining the U.S. in carrying out the aggressive and exclusive "Indo-Pacific strategy", has no hostility towards the DPRK and other neighboring countries, there will be no reason for it to worry with fear about the security environment of the archipelago.

On the contrary, the modern history of Japan evidently proves who is the chief culprit that committed thrice-cursed crimes against the Asia-Pacific countries, the crimes that can not be washed away for generations.

It was Japan that swallowed up Korea as a colony, clamoring about "threat" from neighboring countries in the last century. It was also Japan which made desperate efforts to occupy the Asian continent by taking advantage of the Second World War and laid the foundation for militarization allegedly to cope with "military threat from the Soviet Union" during the Cold War.

Through this year's defence white paper, Japan has got pronounced in its scheme for arms buildup, revealing again its ambition for territorial seizure. This clearly shows that Japan, which has removed the military constraint of a war criminal state one by one, chanting the prayers of "threat from neighboring countries" since its defeat, is rising as a dangerous war force in the region.

The international community is strictly watching the behavior of Japan that has availed itself of the U.S. hegemony strategy, persistently embellishing its blood-stained history of aggression without honest repentance for its unprecedented past crimes.

Japan should be mindful that it will be not helpful to the promotion of its security but a self-destructive option for its second defeat to seek a wild design for arms buildup on the plea of neighboring countries without sincere apology and compensation for its past colonial rule.

The best way for Japan's security is to settle the inglorious past and establish friendly relations with neighboring countries.

Japan should draw a due lesson from the history of its defeat and stop at once the dangerous gambling that is fostering great concern of the region. -0-
