DPRK Delegation Clarifies Principled Stand at 35th Session of UN Human Rights Council

Pyongyang, June 9 (KCNA) -- A delegation of the DPRK clarified the following principled stand at the 35th Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on Wednesday over the vicious "human rights" racket of the hostile forces against the DPRK: The U.S. and its followers openly seek to bring down the social system of the DPRK under the pretext of non-existent "human rights issue", adopting an anti-DPRK "human rights resolution" every year at the UN Human Rights Council. The anti-DPRK "human rights resolution" and the "special rapporteur" of the UN concerning the human rights performance in the DPRK who appeared according to the "resolution" are just the typical product of the politicization of the human rights issue, and selectivity and double standards being applied in handling it. The DPRK is consistent in its stand of categorically rejecting it. It is the true situation of the DPRK that all the people are enjoying the genuine human rights to the full. This being a hard fact, some countries are calling for cooperation with the above-said UN "special rapporteur". This interference in the internal affairs of the DPRK can never be justified. The DPRK rejects any "human rights argument" and "cooperation" extremely politicized on the basis of "testimonies" made by the criminals and human scum like "defectors from the north." But it is its stand to positively respond to any dialogue and cooperation for promoting the genuine human rights. The DPRK will never pardon the "human rights" racket of the hostile forces over its non-existent "human rights issue" but toughly counter it to the end. -0-
