U.S., Worst Violator of Human Rights under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 29 (KCNA) -- International criticism was elicited by the disclosure of the fact that U.S. Congress tried to institute a law on eradicating tortures at the end of last year, which was denied by the White House and thus approved the law in which a provision restricting harsh tortures was deleted. In this regard a spokesman for the U.S. White House recently recognized the fact that the provision banning torture of war prisoners was deleted in the bill on reforming the U.S. intelligence agency, while letting loose a string of honeyed words that the president does not allow torture nor permit it.
    This is a trick to give the impression that the U.S. is overtly opposed to torture, while covertly legalizing torture, which fully betrays the U.S. double standards and falsehood of the human rights issue, Rodong Sinmun Saturday says, stressing that the U.S. cannot cover up its criminal nature as the worst violator of human rights.
    Human rights abuses by the U.S. troops the world over are allowed and fostered by the U.S. laws dimming human rights abuses, the news analyst says, and goes on:
    The U.S. is likely to institute a certain "law" in a bid to cover up its true colors as the principal criminal of human rights violation and the heinous enemy of human rights in the international arena, but it is just like going out for wool and coming back shorn. The U.S. should stop unreasonable acts of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and pressurizing them over the "human rights issue", clearly understanding its plight.
    It had better redeem its crimes against human rights before anything else.
