U.S. moves to refer Korean issue to UNSC under fire

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 28 (KCNA) -- Recently the United States instigated several countries to adopt a "statement of the president" of the ASEAN regional forum pulling up the DPRK and officially clarified its stand to refer the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula to the UNSC in a bid to get its presidential statement adopted, a statement which calls for pressurizing the DPRK to scrap its nuclear weapons program. in this regard Minju Joson today says in a signed commentary: This is an undisguised revelation of the U.S. sinister intention to realize its ambition to isolate and stifle the DPRK under the pretext of its nuclear issue.
    The DPRK has already pulled out of the NPT after going through necessary procedures according to international law.
    Therefore, it is not bound to any international law as regards the possession of a nuclear deterrent force as is the case with the U.S. and other countries.
    However, the U.S. seeks to put international pressure upon the DPRK, terming a measure for increasing its self-defensive nuclear deterrent force a "violation of international law". This clearly shows that though it pays lip-service to the "peaceful solution to the nuclear issue" on the Korean peninsula it, in fact, seeks to evade its responsibility for sparking the nuclear crisis and realize its invariable ambition to bring the DPRK to its knees and put it under Washington's control by pressurizing it.
    The U.S. intention to use the UNSC as a platform for escalating the international pressure upon the DPRK is a very unreasonable move to misuse the noble un for achieving its selfish purpose.
    It is the U.S. which should be pressurized internationally.
    If the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula is finally referred to the un, the UNSC should blame the U.S. before any others for sparking the nuclear crisis and escalating tensions on the principle of impartiality, the paper contends.
