KCNA accuses U.S. of its arbitrary practices on international arena

Pyongyang, May 19 (KCNA) -- At the recent second meeting of the preparatory committee to examine the implementation of the NPT held in Geneva, the United States charged the DPRK with the breach of the NPT and cried out for "punishing" it.
The U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state who was chief delegate of the U.S. side at the meeting hinted at the necessity for a strong counteraction, blustering that those states blocking the implementation of the IAEA's commitments must suffer serious consequences.
This was a concentric expression of another arbitrary practice on the international arena as it was nothing but a foolish and shameless attempt of the U.S. to flee from the responsibility for sparking the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula.
The U.S. act of charging the DPRK with the violation of the NPT is nothing but a plot to mislead the public opinion in a bid to internationally isolate and stifle the DPRK.
The DPRK has already pulled out of the NPT. No one can take issue with this as it was a just self-defensive step taken against the U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK with nukes and the unreasonable behavior of the IAEA. Ever since its withdrawal from the NPT, the DPRK has made every possible effort for the peaceful settlement of its "nuclear issue" caused by the U.S. as the former values the peace and stability in and around the Korean Peninsula.
The U.S. is, however, peddling the "nuclear issue" on the Korean Peninsula on the international arena while talking about its "peaceful solution." This indicates that the U.S. is challenging the efforts of the DPRK for its peaceful settlement and keen on putting undisguised pressure on it.
What is noteworthy is that there is no justification to deal with the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula at the abovesaid meeting as the DPRK is no longer a signatory to the NPT.
It is a well-known fact that the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is a product of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK from a to z.
Ever since its emergence the present U.S. administration has escalated its hostile policy toward the DPRK and wantonly violated all the international agreements including the NPT by listing it as part of an "axis of evil" and a target of a preemptive nuclear attack.
If the preparatory committee is to successfully perform its function, it should discuss the criminal acts committed by the U.S. as the biggest nuclear proliferator in gross breach of the NPT and force it to own responsibility under international law.
The U.S. should not be so foolish as to bring the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula to the international arena but make a switchover in its hostile policy toward the DPRK, the key to settling the issue.
