Imperialists' Theory on "Protection of Human Rights" Blasted

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

   Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- The imperialists and reactionaries have raised a hue and cry over "protection of human rights" and "stance of putting human rights above anything else" in a bid to hide their true colors as human rights abusers and slander and defame the progressive countries including socialist countries. In doing so they seek a sinister political purpose to quell the struggle of their countries for freedom and human rights on one hand and destabilize the progressive countries on the other.
    Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The imperialists' loudmouthed theory on "protection of human rights" is nothing but sophism intended to beautify the reactionary and unpopular capitalist society, a move to slander and destroy socialism and a political lever for wantonly interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and trifling the destiny of other nations.
    It is a very important issue at present to roundly expose and frustrate the imperialists' moves to justify their theory on "protection of human rights" in a bid to achieve a sinister purpose.
    The issue of human rights can be properly settled only when one has a viewpoint of putting human beings, the popular masses who are the most precious beings in the world at the centre of everything.
    What the people like precisely represents the fair and absolute standards of human rights.
    Human rights, in essence, mean the independent rights of the popular masses.
    The imperialists have preached that abstract rights for super-class rights are "human rights", while advocating the "right to freedom", "right to equality" and "right to property" of individuals only.
    If the issue of human rights is to be properly settled, it is necessary to firmly protect the sovereignty of a country and nation and enforce benevolent politics.
    The Songun politics is of special importance in properly settling the human rights issue at present.
    The Songun politics is efficient politics for averting the imperialists' war and aggression and defending human rights. This powerful weapon can be built only when tremendous military muscle is secured. Songun is a prerequisite to and reliable guarantee for the protection of human rights.
    In order to fully solve the human rights issue, it is important not to allow the reactionary moves to infringe upon the interests of the popular masses.
    No matter how persistently the imperialists slander socialism, they can never distort and defame the progressive nature and advantage of socialism nor can they chill the people's ardent aspiration and longing for socialism.
