U.S. attempt to abuse name of UN blasted

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 7 (KCNA) -- The United States recently distributed copies of its "draft statement" critical of the DPRK among member states of the U.N. security council in a bid to have a "statement of its president" adopted and desperately lobbied for achieving its objective. But its bid proved futile due to the opposition of some countries. Rodong Sinmun today carries a signed commentary in this regard.
    The commentary says:
    Such move of the United States is an act of disregarding the principles of the U.N. Charter as it branded the DPRK's just measures to defend its sovereignty as unjust ones by making a profound confusion of the relations between the arch criminal, who spawned the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula, and its victim.
    Through this the U.S. sought to convince the international community of the danger of nuclear development" in the DPRK and pit the U.N. against Pyongyang in a bid to get a justification for pursuing its policy of aggression against the DPRK.
    It is none other than the United States that compelled the DPRK to build up a strong physical deterrent force. The U.S. is persistently pulling up the DPRK over its "nuclear issue" and working hard to bring it up for discussion at the U.N. in a bid to get it take any "step" against Pyongyang while keeping mum about the nuclear weaponization of Japan, Israel and its other allies. This clearly indicates its unjust act of applying "double standards" in handling the nuclear issue, away from the principle of impartiality.
    The DPRK and the United States are committed to respect the U.N. Charter and abide by all its principles as members of the U.N. All its member states are equal and none of them has the right to impose its will and demand upon other member states.
    It is an insult and a mockery of the U.N. for the U.S. to attempt to take any "measure" against the DPRK through the U.N. forum.
    If the U.N. Security Council takes any "action" critical of the DPRK contrary to its stand and interests, as demanded by the U.S. it will leave an indelible blot on the U.N. history as it will be little short of encouraging U.S. arbitrary practices and moves for hegemony.
    Pressure or blackmail will not help solve the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula. Dialogue and negotiations are the only way of settling it.
