End to Terrorism Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 27 (KCNA) -- It is the principled and consistent stand of the DPRK to oppose all forms of terrorism and any support to it. The DPRK will in the future, too, make every possible effort to root out terrorism and realize peace and security for all. A DPRK delegate said this in a speech made on Oct. 20 during the discussion of the agenda item 148 (step for combating international terrorism) at the meeting of the Sixth Committee of the 59th UN General Assembly. The struggle against terrorism should not serve the political purpose of any party but should be aimed to defend the sovereignty and the right to development of the countries and the nations, guarantee a free and stable life of the people and promote world's peace and stability, he said, and continued:
    The unilateral and chauvinist policy of anti- terrorism, the unjustified anti-terrorist war, is only causing a vicious cycle of terrorism. Terrorism rampant in different parts of the world is attributable to the unethical foreign policy of repressing other nations through arrogant and arbitrary practices, encroachment upon the sovereignty of other states and social inequality, etc.
    True international relations based on equal sovereignty cannot be established anytime and escalated terrorist acts cannot be prevented unless unilateral and high-handed acts, new obstacles to the international relations, are stopped. In the final analysis it is impossible to prevent the recurrence of the tragic bloodshed that happened in Iraq.
    He called upon all the UN member nations not to allow the pressure and sanctions unilaterally imposed upon the sovereign states and the use of force against them under the signboard of "anti-terrorism" but respect the equal sovereignty, each other's ideology, system, culture and custom and promote the international cooperation to achieve the common development and prosperity.
