U.S. Censured as Arch Nuclear Criminal

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- What is important for removing the danger of a nuclear war and building a peaceful, new world at present is for the nuclear weapons states, especially the United States which has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, to take the lead in the nuclear disarmament, observes Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. Slashing at the U.S. delegate's shameless assertion made at the NPT Review Conference that the U.S. has fully honored the treaty, the article discloses its ambition to have a nuclear edge and dominate the world.
    The true colors of the U.S. imperialists as the world's arch nuclear criminal have been fully disclosed when they adopted a preemptive nuclear attack as their main military strategy to dominate the world and put it within the range of their nuclear strike in the wake of the "September 11 Incident", the article notes, and goes on:
    The preamble and Article 10 of the NPT stipulate that the nuclear weapons states should not pose any nuclear threat and use nukes against other countries nor create any emergency of endangering the fundamental interests of a non-nuclear state. And they also commit them to making every possible effort to prevent a nuclear war.
    However, the U.S. has openly pursued the policy of nuclear blackmail in disregard of the requirements and commitments under the NPT. The U.S. bellicose forces' adoption of preemptive nuclear attack as a state policy is the height of their strategy for hegemony and nuclear strategy based on the nuclear-almighty doctrine.
    The U.S. is loudly calling for "non-proliferation" but, in actuality, encourages proliferation. It has conducted nuclear tests more than 20 times since 1997, refusing to ratify the CTBT. It is again the U.S. that has connived at, protected and encouraged its allies' access to nukes. Yet, the U.S. claims that it remains "faithful" to the NPT. How preposterous it is.
    The world remains vigilant. It is becoming increasingly critical of the U.S., a nuclear criminal.
    The U.S. should lend an ear to the voices of the times.
