U.S. Human Rights Offensive against DPRK Blasted

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

    Pyongyang, September 27 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is citing not only the nuclear issue but the "human rights issue" for escalating its moves to stifle the DPRK. This comes under fire by a signed commentary of Rodong Sinmun today. In recent days alone senior U.S. officials took issue with the DPRK over the non-existent "human rights issue," the commentary notes, and goes on: The U.S. diplomatic boss blustered that the newly appointed "envoy for the human rights issue in north Korea" would opt for cooperating with other countries to "improve humanitarianism and human rights performance in north Korea". How ridiculous and arrogant these remarks are.
    It is the ulterior motive of the U.S. to step up its policy of pressure, sanctions and military blackmail towards the DPRK by peddling not only the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula but the "human rights issue" and a variety of other fictions and, furthermore, start armed invasion of the DPRK under the pretext of "spreading democracy."
    The anti-DPRK "human rights" offensive escalated by the U.S. since the appointment of the above-mentioned envoy will get it nowhere.
    Should the U.S. step up its hostile policy towards the DPRK over the nuclear issue as well as over its non-existent "human rights issue" as now, the DPRK-U.S. ties would further deteriorate. The U.S. promised to respect the sovereignty of the DPRK and coexist with it in peace at the recent six-way talks.
    The U.S. would be well advised to drop its foolish attempt to bring down the socialist system in the DPRK under the absurd pretext of the "human rights issue" and opt for building confidence with the latter.
