KCNA accuses U.S. of mocking at UN and international community
Pyongyang, January 14 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is scoffing at the UN and the international community over the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula and the IAEA and some countries are acting its spokesman and servant dancing to its tune.
The U.S. is working hard to internationalize the nuclear issue of the DPRK in a desperate bid to misrepresent the cause of the issue and the responsibility for it and create the impression that it is the issue between the DPRK and the international community. Through this it seeks to cover up its criminal moves that spawned the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula and craftily evade its responsibility for the solution of the issue.
That is why the U.S. describes the DPRK's withdrawal from the NPT as a "violation" of its commitments under international law and a "challenge" to the international community and advertises its unilateral assertion as the common view of the international community. This is, however, sheer sophism.
It is none other than the U.S. that has systematically violated the NPT and reduced it to a dead document.
The U.S. as a depository committed itself not to use nukes against nor threaten with them non-nuclear states that acceded to the treaty but has wantonly violated its commitment.
This caused a nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula in 1993 and, therefore, it could be settled only through negotiations between the DPRK and the U.S. responsible for the issue.
Nevertheless, the Bush administration took a negative approach toward what was achieved in improving the DPRK-U.S. relations during the time of the preceding administration and once again escalated nuclear threat to the DPRK.
While systematically violating the official agreement reached between the DPRK and the U.S., the administration stopped the supply of heavy oil, the only commitment which had been implemented, thus totally breaking the basic promise made by the two sides for the solution of nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
As seen above, the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula surfaced because of the nuclear threat posed by the U.S., the assailant, to the DPRK, the victim, and this is an issue of bilateral nature that can be solved by the parties concerned peacefully through negotiations.
A public opinion was built up on the international arena on this issue to create the impression that this is an international issue of universal significance related to the fate of the NPT in the past.
It was because the IAEA served as a tool for carrying out the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK after discarding its principle of impartiality as an international organization.
This was also attributable to the wrong thinking and mode of action on the part of some countries that blindly followed the U.S. stand, reading its face and currying favor with it because they gave priority to their unilateral interests and relations with the U.S., the only "superpower" in the world.
This tendency should be eradicated without fail as it is quite contrary to international justice and the genuine desire and will of humankind for peace, security and stability of the world.
Otherwise, the UN and the international community will continue to serve the purpose of meeting the U.S. unilateral interests, giving it the chance to fish in troubled waters, and then they will be unable to represent the genuine interests and desire of sovereign states and people to defend national independence, dignity and sovereignty.
The UN and the international community are called upon to reject and check the U.S. high-handed and arbitrary practices in order to observe justice and equality in international relations and establish a fair international order.
