"Resolution on Human Rights" against DPRK Rejected

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

    Pyongyang, December 27 (KCNA) -- The permanent mission of the DPRK in the UN Secretariat and international organizations in Geneva called a press conference on Dec. 15 in connection with the more frantic U.S.-led anti-DPRK "human rights racket". An official of the mission in his speech said that the growing tendency of politicizing human rights at the UN gives rise to serious concern among the international community, whose typical example is the adoption of a "resolution on human rights" against the DPRK at the 3rd Committee of the 60th UN General Assembly.
    He strongly rejected the "resolution", asserting that it is consistent with false materials faked up by the hostile forces from long ago and, in essence, it is aimed at slandering the DPRK and "overthrowing its system".
    The U.S. and the EU countries are chiefly to blame for the adoption of the "resolution", he stressed, holding that the grave human rights abuses by the U.S. and its following countries should be called in question if they are to really debate on the human rights issue.
    Citing data to bring to light the U.S. human rights abuses, encroachment on the sovereignty of other countries, destruction, plunder and man slaughter, through wars, big or small, he went on to say:
    Nevertheless, the EU countries and Japan are pulling up the DPRK over the "human rights", deliberately turning their face away from them. This can not be construed otherwise than a concentrated expression of politicization, option and double standards of human rights. It is more ridiculous that the EU countries are blindly toeing the U.S. line in opposing the DPRK, while their sovereignty is encroached on by the U.S. which operates secrete prisons in their lands.
    In order to put an end to showdown in the field of international human rights and materialize dialogue and cooperation the U.S. attempt to abuse human rights for its unreasonable political purpose should be ruled out and, at the same time, unprincipled behavior of the EU countries and Japan dancing to the tune of the U.S. be stopped.
    Meanwhile, press conferences were called at the permanent mission of the DPRK in the UN and the DPRK embassy in Britain.
