U.S. argument about "human rights situation" rejected
KCNA
Pyongyang, April 22 (KCNA) -- The United States is taking issue with the DPRK over the "human rights issue" to attain its sinister aims, but it is as foolish an act as trying to sweep the sea with a broom, says Rodong Sinmun today in a commentary.
The U.S. is a graveyard of human rights where the rich get richer and the poor poorer and many people are not granted even an elementary right to existence. It is monstrous that such country talks about the "human rights situation" in the DPRK, the news analyst says, and goes on:
What the U.S. seeks in raising the "human rights issue" as well as the "nuclear issue" is to cripple the Korean people's trust in their socialist system and violate the DPRK's sovereignty while impairing its international prestige and increasing the international pressure upon it.
Human rights mean national rights and sovereignty is the most vivid manifestation of human rights. This is the truth evidenced by the historical practice.
Nothing can break the Korean people's confidence in the DPRK and its socialist system. steadfast is the singlehearted unity of the leader, the party and the masses in the DPRK.
Though the U.S. persistently plays the old tune about "human rights", nobody pays attention to it as it will only reveal more faults of the U.S. as a violator of human rights.
The U.S. is well advised not to engage itself in such vain efforts.
