KAPPC Spokesman Rejects Anti-DPRK "Sanctions Resolution"

Pyongyang, August 8 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee issued the following statement on Tuesday: The U.S., the most shameful gangster-like state in the world, and the riffraff submitting to it blindly deterred by its high-handed practices committed an international crime of cooking up the "sanctions resolution" 2371 by abusing the name of the UN Security Council on Sunday. The recent "sanctions resolution" cooked up by the U.S. and its followers is an outcome of the horror and uneasiness of the U.S. taken aback by the might and mettle of the DPRK, which towered high as the nuclear power of Juche and a world military power, and the last-ditch efforts of the hostile forces under the pretext of the "international community". It is also the label of the weakness and servility of the riffraff who showed their hands in favor of adopting the "resolution" as they are scared by the U.S., old wolf, though understanding that it is immoral. The Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee clarifies the following stand, in reflection of the fixed faith and strong retaliatory will of our army and people who want peace and security in the region and the rest of the world; 1. We totally and resolutely reject the recent "sanctions resolution", cooked up by the gangster-like U.S. imperialists in collusion with its blind followers, as hideous terrorism against the dignified DPRK. 2. Now that gangster-like act has reached its height to ruthlessly violate the sovereignty and rights to existence and development of the DPRK, the substantial action of justice by its army and people will follow to defend them. 3. Taking this opportunity we call on all countries and peoples to turn out in foiling the high-handed and arbitrary practices of the U.S. and its followers which abused the name of the UN against the world conscience and building a new just and stable world order. The army and people of the DPRK will resolutely smash by dint of justice the illicit "sanctions resolution" cooked up by the brigandish U.S. imperialists. -0-
