U.S. "Report on Human Rights and Democracy" under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, May 26 (KCNA) -- The United States recently released a "report on human rights and democracy" in which it made a distorted estimation of human rights situation in more than 100 countries and regions of the world, saying this or that about it, and tried to create the impressions that the human rights issue of the DPRK had been taken up by the six-party talks for discussion being a topic of international debates. Dismissing it as a far-fetched assertion proceeding from its sinister political purpose to infringe upon the sovereignty of the DPRK and force it to make a change in its inviolable socialist system by taking issue with its human rights issue, Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says:
    It is the height of sarcasm for the U.S. to style itself the human rights judge even now when human rights abuses committed by the U.S., a country with the world's poorest human rights record, has been brought into bolder relief under the eyes of the world people.
    The U.S. is the world's biggest human rights abuser and barren land of human rights as evidenced by hideous human rights abuses committed by GIs in Iraq which has lashed the international community into a fury.
    Unbiased world public opinion holds that the U.S. is no longer qualified to talk about human rights and democracy in other countries and it has completely lost moral rights to talk about them. The U.S. must be quite well aware of this, not being blind and deaf. However, it has gone so impudent as to kick up a ruckus, wagging its tongue over human rights performance and democracy in other countries.
    The U.S. must stand in the dock of the Human Rights Court of its own accord to face a stern judgment as demanded by the world and human conscience and pull back all its troops who are committing human rights abuses in south Korea and other countries and regions. That would help it redeem its human rights abuses and would be beneficial for the stability and sound human rights performance in the international community.
