U.S. Accused of Standing against Treaty Banning Arms Race in Space

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

   Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) -- Recently China and Russia presented a draft international treaty banning the arms race in the space to the Geneva Disarmament Conference. Various countries of the world are expressing support and sympathy with it but the U.S. remains adamant in opposing it.
    Rodong Sinmun Monday observes this in a signed commentary.
    It cites facts to prove that by coming out against this proposed treaty the U.S. seeks a criminal aim to realize its ambition for dominating the world at any cost by accelerating the space militarization.
    It is the U.S. invariable strategy to hold military supremacy in the space, it says, and goes on:
    The U.S. has long regarded the space militarization as a means for realizing its ambition for dominating the world while persisting in the moves for it.
    The U.S. is apt to accuse other countries of their activities in the space. This is aimed at containing their peaceful development and use of the space and securing a strategic edge in the space in a bid to use this for carrying out its strategy for world domination.
    The "missile threat" from the DPRK and Iran much touted by the U.S. is nothing but a subterfuge for pushing ahead with the space militarization.
    It is preposterous and a typical example of partiality and double standards for the U.S. to paint any countries' activities for space development as a "missile test," though it is for a peaceful purpose, while conniving at some other countries' activities for space development to serve a military purpose.
    Space can never become anyone's monopoly.
    It is intolerable that the precious scientific and technological achievements and social wealth created by humankind are used for putting down and dominating other countries and nations through high-handed military actions and producing means of aggression and war threatening the existence and peace of humankind, instead of using them for the mankind's welfare and development of civilization.
    The U.S. would be well advised to abandon its attempt to violate other countries' right to peaceful development of space while spreading its unreasonable and nonsensical assertions.
