U.S. Application of Double Standards to Human Rights Issue Blasted

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

   Pyongyang, December 13 (KCNA) -- The United States should drop its unjustifiable policy of politicization, selectivity and application of double standards over the human rights issue, urges Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed commentary. It says:
    The U.S. is apt to invent "human rights issues" in a bid to interfere in the internal affairs of the anti-imperialist independent countries and use them for justifying their aggression and wars against sovereign states and operations to topple their governments.
    As the U.S. stands no chance of materializing their plan to disarm and invade the DPRK through its operation to force it to abandon its nuclear program first, it put up the signboards of "democracy" and "human rights" in a desperate effort to pressurize the DPRK and bring it to its knees.
    The more frantic the Bush group becomes in its smear campaign against the DPRK over the human rights issue, the more saliently this reveals its brigandish, base and despicable nature.
    The U.S. has committed hideous human rights abuses such as brutal torture and maltreatment of prisoners after setting up secret prisons in different parts of the world. This being a hard reality, it is politicizing and internationalizing somebody's non-existent "human rights issue" and applying unreasonable double standards in handling the matter. This is absolutely unjustifiable and intolerable.
    The U.S. attempt to bring about any change in the people-centered socialist system which was chosen by the Korean people and has been defended by them is a flagrant violation of freedom of choice and the political rights of the citizens.
    If the U.S. truly wishes to deal with human rights issues, it should bring the Bush group to the human rights tribunal and mete out a judgment to it for having savagely trampled down upon people's independent rights and the right to enjoy a worthy life, trumpeting about hypocritical human rights.
    The U.S. human rights offensive will never work on the DPRK.
