U.S. Accused of Trying to Bring Down DPRK System

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, December 20 (KCNA) -- If the United States more desperately pursues its hostile policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK under the pretext of the "nuclear issue" and "human rights issue", not showing its willingness to co-exist with the DPRK, the latter will react to it by further increasing its self-defensive deterrent force. A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry said this in an answer Monday as regards the recent "human rights" racket going beyond the danger line kicked up by the U.S. as part of its hostile policy toward the DPRK.
    The U.S. is reportedly planning to designate even the post of "a special envoy in charge of north Korean human rights" and going to appoint one in the wake of the adoption and effectuation of the "North Korean Human Rights Act" which is aimed to bring down the "system in the DPRK," he noted, and continued:
    It is deplorable for the U.S. to style itself an international "judge of human rights", unaware of its position.
    By nature the U.S. is the worst human rights graveyard in the world.
    It is the worst human rights violator and the biggest criminal. This is clearly proved by what happened in Iraq.
    The Iraqi war was an illegal war of aggression started by the U.S. in wanton breach of international law and a serious violation of human rights as it encroached upon the state sovereignty from its outset.
    When looking back on its history, the U.S. faked up "human rights issues" to use them as pretexts for interfering in the internal affairs of those anti-U.S., independent countries and "justifying" its aggression and war against the sovereign states and its moves to topple their governments while politicizing human rights issues and applying selectivity and double standards.
    The "North Korean Human Rights Act" is an example of this.
    When the U.S. attempt to disarm the DPRK by pressurizing it to scrap its nuclear development program first proved futile, the U.S. has come out to bring down the "system in the DPRK" under the pretext of "democracy" and "human rights." It went the lengths of adopting a legislation which calls for allocating a huge of amount of fund out of its state budget.
    When its "North Korean Human Rights Act" came to be rebuffed and denounced by the international community, the U.S. blustered that the act is not aimed to "bring down the system in the DPRK" but "make it change its system" and it is specifically designed to "make it change its economic system".
    The U.S. intention to dare force the DPRK to change its system chosen by the Korean people and defended by themselves is a wanton violation of the freedom of choice and political right of citizens.
    The U.S. raised a hue and cry over "threat of weapons of mass destruction" by Iraq and invaded it in the end. And when it failed to find any way of justifying the war, it raised a "human rights issue." This eloquently proves the hypocrisy and nature of the U.S.-style "defence of human rights ".
    The Iraqi incident teaches a lesson that human rights not based on state sovereignty, the human rights not protected by strength, are no more than an illusion and it is the only option for defending the genuine human rights to struggle against their violation by physical strength as long as the U.S. remains unchanged in its policy of using the "human rights issue" as an all-powerful leverage for interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and bringing down their systems.
