DPRK Opposes All Forms of Terrorism

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 24 (KCNA) -- It is the principled and consistent position of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to oppose all forms of terrorism and support to it, declared the DPRK delegate. He was addressing the meeting of the Sixth Committee of the 58th UN General Assembly on Oct. 17 when it was discussing the agenda item 156 "International Measures for Removing Terrorism". Acts of terrorism are not confined to individual people or groups but assume the character of state versus state. Acts of state terrorism are represented by unilateral threat and pressure to and sanctions against other countries and are perpetrated even with recourse to force, he said, and added:
    The dangerous unilateralism and strong-arm practices, which are emerging anew in international relations, should thoroughly be rejected and international relations based on multilateralism and equal sovereignty should be established. An international environment in which all countries and peoples can feel at ease and lead an independent life without threat and interference from outside should be created.
    In this regard, it is more necessitated at the present time to convene an international conference to define clearly the root cause of terrorism and thoroughly remove it, he said.
    He stressed that the pivotal role of the United Nations should be strengthened decisively in this regard and the member states of the United Nations should respect the U.N. and orient all activities toward the realization of the objectives enshrined in the U.N. Charter.
    The DPRK will continue to do its best to eliminate the root causes of terrorism and ensure peace and security for all, he stated.
