End to Unilateralism and High-Handed Practices Called for

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 14 (KCNA) -- What is important for strengthening the UN Charter and its role at present is to ensure a major role of the UN in solving international problems and a main task to do so is to put an end to unilateralism and high handed practices, said a DPRK delegate, when participating in the discussions on the agenda item "report of the special commission on strengthening the UN Charter and its role" of the sixth committee of the 58th UN General Assembly on Cot. 9. Underscoring the need to democratize the United Nations at an early date, he noted that to this end it is necessary to decisively increase the authority of the UN General Assembly and, at the same time, address the issue of reforming the UN Security Council in such a way as to democratize the overall work of the UN while fully ensuring the representation of the developing countries.
    Referring to the fact that sanctions were misused by some countries for their political purpose in many cases, he stated that the DPRK has suffered immeasurable losses and damage and the independent development of the country has been severely hindered owing to the unilateral sanctions imposed by a superpower upon it for over half a century.
    The "UN Command" in south Korea is another challenge to the UN and its charter, he noted, and continued:
    The "UN Command" regards the DPRK, a UN member country, as an enemy, reinforces the wall of division between the north and south of Korea and obstructs the compatriotic cooperation and exchange between them.
    The "UN forces" in south Korea are, in essence, the U.S. forces.
    This year alone, the U.S. obstructed the project of reconnecting the rail links that pass through the Demilitarized Zone between the north and the south, asserting that they are under the control of the "UN forces."
    The UN Secretariat and UN member countries should pay proper attention to such abnormal situation and take a measure to stop the U.S. unilateral abuse of the name and flag of the UN
