U.S. "North Korean Human Rights Act" Flailed

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 4 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry gave the following answer to the question put by KCNA today as regards the recent passage of the "North Korean Human Rights Act" through the U.S. Senate: Recently, the U.S. Senate passed the act presented by the House of Representatives in July after partly modifying and supplementing it, despite the concern and opposition at home and abroad.
    The act is full of anti-DPRK poisonous clauses. It calls for spending out of the U.S. government budget 24 million U.S. dollars for those organizations and individuals taking part in the activities to bring down the system in the DPRK under the pretext of "improving the human rights situation in north Korea".
    The aim sought by the act was clearly revealed by the remarks made by a senator from the Republican Party just before its passage that the downfall of the north Korean government is not far off as was the case with the collapse of the former Soviet Union.
    In the long run, the act is one more declaration of the hostile Korea policy which fully disclosed the U.S. real intention to slander and insult the DPRK, a dignified sovereign state, and topple the socialist system chosen by its people.
    It is nothing strange that the U.S. is hell bent on its hostile Korea policy as it is steeped in the inveterate denial of the DPRK system.
    The U.S. says this and that about the human rights issue of someone, unaware of its position in which it is being censured as the worst violator of human rights. This is a challenge to human conscience. The U.S. is the world's worst violator of human rights as it is killing innocent civilians including children everyday after illegally igniting a war against Iraq.
    The U.S. is so brazen-faced as to cry out for "global security" and talk about "human rights" after reducing Iraq to a sea of blood. Nothing is more disgusting than this behaviour..
    It has already provided strong financial and material support to those organizations hatching plots against the DPRK around it. In the meantime, it is pressurizing some countries to create ample environment for conducting the operation to tarnish the DPRK's international image and bring down its system.
    The reality clearly testifies to the truth that the DPRK should counter the Bush administration with the corresponding force only as it is totally rejecting the dignified Korean style ideology and system and persistently working to impose the American style view on value and way of living, pursuant to the policy of strength.
    The U.S. has reached a reckless phase of its efforts to destroy the socialist system in the DPRK, totally denying the co-existence with it, and thus rendered the dialogue and negotiations for solving the nuclear issue meaningless.
    This has deprived the DPRK of any justification to deal with the U.S., to say nothing of the reason for holding the six-party talks for settling the nuclear issue.
    The DPRK is now left with no option but to put spurs to increasing the deterrent force to counter the U.S. by force to the last.
    Desperate efforts on the part of the U.S. to destroy the system in the DPRK will only reinforce the faith of its army and people in socialism and heighten their spirit to shatter the U.S. reckless provocations.
