KCNA Slams U.S. Mandarin's Anti-DPRK Remarks

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 2 (KCNA) -- The United States is now becoming all the more undisguised in its moves to refer the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula to the UNSC. Upon arriving at Inchon airport of south Korea on July 29, Bolton, U.S. under secretary of state, said that it is proper to discuss the nuclear issue of north Korea at the UNSC and the discussion at the un would not be obstructive to the multilateral talks.
    His remarks more clearly indicate that the U.S. is trying to abuse the un invested with an important mission to defend peace and security of the world for increasing international pressure upon the DPRK in a bid to isolate and suffocate it.
    As we have already declared several times, the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. is a product of the nuclear threat posed by the U.S. to the DPRK, a non-nuclear weapons state, after introducing nuclear weapons into south Korea in gross violation of the Korean Armistice Agreement, the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework and the NPT.
    The U.S. intention to bring up the nuclear issue on the peninsula for the discussion at the un at any cost is a grave criminal act to hamstring all the efforts of the DPRK for dialogue and escalate the tensions on the peninsula.
    Any move to discuss the nuclear issue at the UNSC is little short of a prelude to a war.
    The U.S. has long abused the name of the un responsible for world peace and security for carrying out its hostile policy to stifle the DPRK.
    It is a trite method of the U.S. to woo the un and other international organizations to serve the purpose of its policy of aggression.
    This year alone, the U.S. forced the UNSC to convene a meeting to discuss the issue of the DPRK's withdrawal from the NPT and called for punishing it for violating the NPT at the second meeting of the preparatory committee to examine the implementation of the NPT held in Geneva.
    It also instigated several countries to adopt a "statement of the president" critical of the DPRK at the ASEAN regional forum and is now busy with base diplomatic lobbying to have a "statement of the president accusing north Korea of its development of nuclear weapons" adopted at the UNSC.
    The Bush administration listed the DPRK, a dignified member state of the UN, as part of an "axis of evil" and a "rogue state" and a target of its preemptive nuclear attack, pushing the DPRK-U.S. relations to the lowest ebb. It is now keen to lay an international siege to the DPRK with the help of even international organizations. this policy is intolerable in view of the purpose and principle of the un charter.
    With nothing can the U.S. justify its wrong attempt to refer the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula to the UN in a bid to invent a pretext for a military attack on the DPRK.
    If the nuclear issue on the peninsula is partially handled at the un under the pressure of the U.S., the DPRK will take a strong self-defensive measure to cope with it.
