EU's Partial Behavior under Fire

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

    Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) -- Some forces of the EU introduced a "human rights resolution" against the DPRK and had it adopted at the recent third committee of the 60th UN General Assembly in a coercive manner. Minju Joson Friday carries a signed commentary in this regard.
    It says:
    The U.S. has become loud in trumpeting that there exists a "human rights issue" in the DPRK. This is, however, a product of its strategy to realize a regime change in it to serve its purpose of tarnishing the image of the dignified DPRK and undermining most advantageous man-centered Korean-style socialism. If some forces of the EU are truly concerned for the settlement of human rights issues, they should take issue with the U.S., the world's worst human rights abuser, to begin with.
    The recently disclosed facts about the U.S. operation of secret prisons in European countries are a good example of its human rights abuses. The U.S. operation of these prisons and CIA planes' use of airports of those countries for transporting POWs are the most hideous human rights abuses which can never be justified and, at the same time, wanton violations of the sovereignty of EU member nations.
    One can draw a definite conclusion that the EU itself is falling victim to the U.S. high-handed and arbitrary practices and its violation of human rights and national sovereignty.
    Some EU forces are saying this or that about the human rights performance in other countries incurring their displeasure while shelving the U.S. hideous human rights abuses. This makes the DPRK strongly skeptical about their stand on the human rights issue.
    By nature, the EU should naturally adopt an independent political mode of thinking and solving problems free from the policy of toeing the U.S. line.
