Disbandment of UN Forces Command Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, September 28 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Tuesday carries a commentary demanding the U.S. disband the "UN Forces Command" in south Korea and pull back its forces from south Korea to the last man without delay. Laying bare once again the illegality of the command, the commentary says:
    The day after the statement was issued by a spokesman for the Panmunjom Mission of the Korean People's Army calling for the disbandment of the command the "UN Forces Command" in south Korea the command talked nonsense that if the 1953 Armistice Agreement collapses and hostile acts are perpetrated, the member states that signed the agreement will be reorganized for an alliance and play their role as the "UN Peace-Keeping Force".
    Referring to the fact that a spokesman for the UN headquarters recently clarified the official stand that the U.S. troops in south Korea are not "UN Forces" but U.S.-led allied forces, the commentary explains in detail the background against which the U.S. illegally cooked up the "UN Forces" after launching the Korean war, armed forces were provided, how the successive commanders of the "UN Forces" were appointed by the U.S. and funds provided for them, etc. The commentary goes on: The "UN forces command" in south Korea, to all intents and purposes, is an illegal and anachronistic mechanism and is nothing but a tool for aggression to achieve the U.S. strategic purpose as it is its command.
    The U.S. abrogated the Armistice Agreement and dissolved the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission and has only perpetrated hostile acts against the DPRK. It has done through the "UN Forces Command" in south Korea nothing but acts of disturbing peace on the Korean peninsula and increasing the danger of war. Its loudmouthed "UN Peace-Keeping Force" precisely means the U.S. imperialist aggression forces and its role is to ignite the second Korean war.
    The U.S. imperialists are trying to start the second Korean war under the signboard of the "UN Forces," just as they did when they launched the last Korean war. The reorganization of alliance touted by them is aimed to serve this purpose.
    Recalling that the U.S. claims the presence of its forces in south Korea is in line with the UN decision, the commentary notes if that is true it should put into practice the UN decision calling for the withdrawal of its forces from south Korea.
