U.S. Abuse of United Nations under Fire
Pyongyang - Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary denounces the United States for getting more undisguised in its
attempts to tighten sanctions and blockade against the DPRK and stifle it by force of arms through the United Nations.
U.S. President Bush, addressing the UN General Assembly session some time ago, brought forward again "the issues of
nuclear development and missile diffusion" by the DPRK and proposed drafting "a new resolution for checking dealings in
weapons of mass destruction" and called upon all the UN member nations to support it.
Lurking behind it is a heinous intention of the U.S. to use the UN as a leverage of realizing its policy for stifling
the DPRK, the commentary says, and goes on:
The adoption of a UN "resolution" on sanctions and blockade against the DPRK would be an open encroachment upon the
sovereignty of the DPRK and, at the same time, a violation of norms of international law. The United Nations is not a
tool for the U.S. military intervention and aggression and the UN member nations are not henchmen of the U.S.
The U.S. has resorted to high-handed and arbitrary practices, and, as it they were not enough, dares try to use the UN
for a leverage of the attainment of its aggressive goal.
It is a criminal act that can never be tolerated for the U.S. to try to impose international sanctions and blockade on
the DPRK under the pretext of "checking the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction."
In working to cook up a "UN resolution" designed to form an international encirclement ring around the DPRK, the U.S.
seeks to abuse the name of the UN in a bid to legally and more zealously step up its policy to isolate and stifle the
DPRK. The more desperate the U.S. tries to lay an international ring around the DPRK, the worse the hostile relations
between the DPRK and the U.S. will grow, and this will not be favorable to the U.S. itself.
The DPRK has already warned that it would regard sanctions and blockade against it as a war. The U.S. should not carry
the developments into extremes but drop its foolish attempts to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
