DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesman Blasts EU's Anti-DPRK Resolution

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, April 19 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry issued the following statement today blasting the European Union for railroading an anti-DPRK resolution through the 60th Session of the UN Commission on Human Rights: The EU railroaded the anti-DPRK resolution through the 60th Session of the UN Commission on Human Rights held in Geneva recently.
    The DPRK resolutely denounces the resolution, which does not deserve even a passing note, as a product of the U.S.-orchestrated political plot to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
    The resolution is, in essence, a product of politicization and selectivity of human rights.
    As already reported, the EU at a session held last year unilaterally abandoned the favorable process of all forms of dialogue and cooperation with the DPRK in the field of human rights and passed a resolution on human rights abuses in the DPRK all of a sudden.
    This year again it railroaded another resolution full of lies and fabrication through the session, interfering in the internal affairs of the DPRK.
    This glaringly proves that the EU has openly joined the U.S. in its moves to achieve its sinister political purpose to slander the inviolable social system in the DPRK and force it to change its political system, instead of seeking genuine dialogue and cooperation with it in the field of human rights.
    The U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK by force of arms over the nuclear issue have rendered the situation on the Korean peninsula extremely tense and unpredictable.
    On top of this the EU has joined the U.S. in its moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK from the flank by forcing it to change its political system, talking about its human rights issue.
    The right to live constitutes a basic human right and a major reason for its existence. Talking about "human rights" ignoring this fundamental issue of life or death is nothing but hypocrisy and an armchair talk.
    Even at this moment innocent Iraqis including children, women and the aged under the U.S. illegal occupation are being killed under the absurd charges of being "terrorists," turning their land into a sea of blood. If the EU's "human rights standards" are fair, it should condemn the above-said unprecedented crimes committed by the U.S. against humanity among other things.
    But the EU has kept mum about this and even failed to express even the slightest concern about that.
    If one allows the standards whereby crimes committed by the strong are painted as good and whatever done by the week is described as evil, where is justice?
    Murder, violence, xenophobia, suppression of immigrants, unemployment and violation of other rights to existence and living are prevalent in the Western world today.
    Such being a stark fact, those who are incapable of minding their own business are finding fault with others. It is the height of absurdity.
    It is consistent policy of the DPRK government to fully guarantee all citizens human rights in a responsible manner, guided by the man-centered Juche idea.
    That is why the Korean people are proud of enjoying genuine rights and freedom under the man-centered socialist system of Korean style where the whole country forms a big harmonious family and the leader, the Party and the masses are single-heartedly united.
    The Korean people will never allow anyone to infringe upon the socialist system, the cradle of their life and happiness, even a bit.
    The EU will get nothing from the anti-DPRK resolution which some forces of it got passed, toeing the U.S. line. On the contrary, it will only harden the will of the army and the people of the DPRK to defend the socialist system of its own style.
