KCNA refutes U.S. Congress anti-DPRK "resolution"
KCNA
Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- The U.S. House of Representatives reportedly adopted a "resolution on human rights in North Korea" calling for respecting and protecting human rights of North Koreans and decided to present it to the 59th meeting of the un commission on human rights.
It goes without saying that the resolution is full of nonsense as it is based on "testimonies" made by those renegades who fled overseas after committing crimes in the north and is laced with a whole string of stereo-typed vituperation made by the U.S. against the political system in the DPRK over the last half a century, pursuant to its hostile policy toward it.
What matters is that U.S. Congress adopted a separate resolution exclusively dealing with the human rights issue in the DPRK before the administration.
As universally recognized, the U.S. is waging the Iraqi war, defying the international community's opposition to the war and wantonly violating the spirit of the un charter.
The U.S. attack on Iraq, an independent sovereign state and a full-fledged member of the UN, is an infringement upon its sovereignty and a violation of human rights. Even at this moment a great number of innocent Iraqi civilians are falling victim to the U.S. missiles and other sophisticated weapons of mass destruction and suffering the most horrible disaster in view of humanitarianism.
That's why the majority of countries the world over are demanding the U.S. stop the war at once and prevent disaster in Iraq, terming the war a typical example of disregarding the international community and the world public opinion and violating international law.
The recent resolution adopted by U.S. Congress in the stead of the U.S. administration, and its decision to submit it to the un commission on human rights betray the U.S. sinister intention to project the human rights issue in the DPRK along with its nuclear issue, pursuant to the Bush administration's hostile policy toward the DPRK, in a bid to escalate its moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK internationally and divert the world condemnation of the Iraqi war elsewhere.
This means that the belligerent conservative hard-liners of U.S. Congress foolishly seek to focus the world attention on the DPRK under the pretext of its "human rights issue" by singling out it as de facto next target after the Iraqi war, pursuant to bush's "axis of evil" doctrine.
U.S. Congress claims to conduct law-making activities concerned about the global peace and human rights issue representing the constitutional rights and interests of the citizens of the United States of America. It is, therefore, tragedy and shame for such congress to betray its prejudice and hypocritical double-dealing nature in handling practical issues at home and abroad.
The U.S. has, in fact, the world's poorest human rights record as it is beset with serious social and political issues at home including the issues of religious performance and racial discrimination, crimes related to the random use of guns and other weapons and narcotics and violence. Moreover, it mired in serious economic recession due to arms race.
The U.S. violation of human rights and infringement upon other countries' sovereignty are getting all the more serious worldwide due to the Bush administration's high-handed and arbitrary foreign policy and its war policy.
This is eloquently proved by the Iraqi war, a war against humanity, started by the U.S. to acquire oil concessions.
If U.S. Congress truly wants to protect and represent the just interests of the U.S citizens, fairly judging this reality, it should, above all, properly check the Bush administration's war policy based on its cold war way of thinking.
The U.S. should drop its hostile policy toward the DPRK, too.
