Statement of spokesman for DPRK Society for Human Rights Studies
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- It is the sovereign state's legitimate
right recognized by international law to
protect members of the Japanese "red army" who sought political asylum in
the DPRK, and nobody can put his nose
into this issue.
A spokesman for the DPRK Society for Human Rights Studies stressed this
in a statement on Wednesday.
The statement said:
According to foreign news reports, the United States argued that at the
talks with the DPRK to be held soon, it
would discuss the issue of "declassifying" the DPRK as a "sponsor of
terrorism" on some conditions, one of which
is that the DPRK should declare it will not allow members of the Japanese
"red army" to stay in its territory.
This is an unbearable mockery and insult to the DPRK which opposes
terrorism and respects human rights.
As for those members of the Japanese "red army," they are political
exiles in the DPRK who fled from the
Japanese authorities' harsh repression and persecution.
Nevertheless, the U.S. unreasonably urges the DPRK not to permit their
stay any longer. It is an obstructive act
of ignoring international usage and the requirement of the international
law as well as a grave interference in the
DPRK's internal affair.
The DPRK society for human rights studies scathingly denounces this act
of the U.S. as an encroachment upon
sovereignty of the DPRK and a wanton violation of the international law.
As well known to the world, over the last more than 50 years of its
military occupation of South Korea the U.S.
has wantonly violated the dignity and sovereignty of the Korean nation and
frequently committed terrorism against
innocent people and raped and killed women as it pleased. It has been
brought to light one after another that the U.S.
aggression forces committed massacres of people during the last Korean War.
Some time ago, a South Korean
woman was killed by a gi.
The U.S. is engaged in such international terrorism as wantonly
violating the dignity and human rights of other
nations. It committed blatant armed intervention against Iraq and
Yugoslavia and other countries, thus encroaching
upon their sovereignty.
It has also detained a large number of people of other countries in its
territory under the name of "political
asylum," gravely infringing upon independent rights of people. Recently, it
detained a Cuban boy saved from
distress at sea and has refused to send him back to his country where his
kinsmen are waiting for him.
This clearly shows that the U.S. is the world's biggest sponsor of
terrorism which engages itself in terrorist
activities everywhere on earth and a vicious violator of human rights.
Whenever an opportunity presents itself, however, the U.S. tries to
brand the DPRK as a "terrorist state" under
the pretext of "human rights issue." This brigandish sophism is just like a
thief crying "stop the thief." Worse still,
preposterous sophism was let loose by the U.S. against the dialogue partner
at a time when contact and negotiation
are under way being held between the DPRK and the U.S.
This is a clear proof that the U.S. does not want the improvement of
relations with the DPRK but is still
clinging to a hostile policy toward the DPRK.
The U.S. must not employ an ill-intentioned tactics of insulting the
dialogue partner under the pretext of "human
right abuses" and "terrorism," dancing to the tune of right-wing
conservative elements of Japan but respect the
DPRK as a dialogue partner from a sincere stand.
Success of the DPRK-U.S. talks wholly depends upon the U.S. attitude.
We will never remain a passive onlooker to any sinister acts of the
United States to impair the dignity and
authority of the DPRK.
The U.S. must immediately stop hostile acts to hurt the DPRK but show
its proper stand and willingness to
ensure peace on the Korean peninsula and improve relations with it.
Mission and duty of WPK
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- The basic mission of the Worker's Party of
Korea is to fight for victory of the
cause of Juche.
The party was founded and has been strengthened and developed in the
efforts for the application of the Juche
idea. It has triumphantly led the revolution and construction through the
application of the idea.
The Juche cause is the cause of the popular masses that is pioneered
and developed under the banner of the
idea= it is a sacred cause for the realization of independence of the
popular masses through the application of the
idea.
The party's basic mission stems from its character that the party is
the revolutionary party of Juche.
The party is guided by the Juche idea and fights for the cause of Juche.
The immediate duty of the party in accomplishing the cause of Juche is
to achieve the complete victory of
socialism in the North Korea and the independent and peaceful reunification
of the country.
The party, basing itself on the achievements and experience in
socialist construction, greatly encourages all the
people to the building of a powerful socialist country.
It works hard for an early realization of the independent, peaceful
reunification of the country and the
coordinated development of the country and nation.
The final duty of the party is to build a communist society through the
modeling of the whole society on the
Juche idea.
Only when all the members of society are trained to be communists of
Juche type through the modeling of the
whole society on the Juche idea and society and nature are transformed to
meet the requirements of the Juche idea, is
it possible to attain the ideological and material fortresses of communism
and build a communist society where
independence of the popular masses is fully realised.
The WPK set it as the supreme platform to build a communist society
through the modeling of the whole society
on the Juche idea, and is pushing ahead with the work to remold man and
society and transform nature as demanded
by the Juche idea.
Korean people's heroic mettle praised
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- Member of the executive committee and
director of the Arab and international
relations department of the Palestine Liberation Organization Zakaria al
Agha said that he has come to have a good
understanding of the indomitable faith and will of the Korean people
through his visit to different places of the
DPRK.
He led the PLO delegation on a visit to the DPRK.
He said:
The Korean people launched a satellite and built many edifices with
their own efforts in several years despite
unabated economic blockade and permanent danger of war on the part of the
imperialists and difficulties. This is the
result of the indomitable faith and will of the Korean people, their
ideological readiness that only when they are
firmly united around their leader can they do anything, fighting spirit and
ardent love for their motherland.
Though there are many difficulties in the way ahead of the Korean
people who work hard to build socialism,
they courageously face them with optimism about future.
As they have the great Kim Jong Il as their leader, they fully
demonstrate the heroic mettle as a revolutionary
people.
Touching upon Korea's reunification, he said that Korea should be
reunified by a confederacy formula
advanced by President Kim Il Sung.
He expressed belief that friendship between Palestine and the DPRK
would in the future, too, grow stronger
and develop.
Worthy title for women
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- Women are called flowers of revolution,
country and life in the DPRK.
A song on this theme was created in the early 1990s and is popular
among all the people.
From olden times, people liken beauty and love of all things in the
world to flower in general. But women have
never been called flowers in human history before.
As a beautiful flower in nature is unthinkable without light and heat
of the sun, so a worthy life and happiness
of the women are unthinkable without the great loving care.
In the flower garden permeated with human love provided by the
President Kim Il Sung and tended by General
Secretary leader Kim Jong Il, the women in the DPRK who account for a half
of its population enjoy their status as
beautiful flowers after putting an end to the history of distress.
Choe Hui Suk, Ri Kye Sun and An Sun Hwa and many other young women
anti-Japanese fighters laid down
their lives for the liberation of the country, but now enjoy eternal worthy
lives as flowers of revolution that came
into bloom during the Japanese imperialist colonial rule. And An Yong Ae,
Jo Ok Hui, Ri Su Dok, Sin Pho Hyang
and other heroines were produced during the Fatherland Liberation War to be
remembered by the people for their
feats.
Among many known and unknown women who are loved by the motherland and
the people as flowers of the
revolution and the country are pacesetters in remolding of people in the
postwar era of Chollima Ri Sin Ja and Kil
Hwak Sil, heroines of the present era Jong Song Ok, a world marathon
champion, Hyon Yong Ra, who
distinguished herself in ultra-modern scientific researches, and Pak Ok
Hui, chairwoman of a management board,
who made a breakthrough in the treble-crop farming in the northern highlands.
Bright faces and laughter of the women as affectionate sisters, kind
wives and meticulous mothers add to the
fragrance of the flowers in life that makes families happy and society
harmonious.
With these fragrant flowers in the country, the DPRK will improve the
difficult economic life as soon as
possible and speed up the building of a powerful nation.
NRI on steadily increasing number of "emigrants"
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- The National Reunification Institute
released a statement dealing with the
steadily increasing number of "emigrants" in South Korea owing to the
anti-social rule by the U.S. and the South
Korean authorities.
The statement said:
According to official data published by the South Korean authorities,
the number of "emigrants" last year was
over 14,000 or an increase of 12 percent over the figure of 1997, the last
year of the Kim Young Sam
"government."
This is a record high in recent years.
"Emigrants" came from mainly among the poor people in the past but
nowadays come from people from all
walks of life including medium and small businessmen and scientists,
technicians, doctors and university
professors.
The number of "emigrants" swelled to over one million in the early
1990s from hundreds of thousands in the
mid-1970s.
The number of "emigrants" who left South Korea until now after Korea's
liberation from the Japanese colonial
rule on August 15, 1945, is more than 1,415,000.
This outnumbers those who left Korea for Jiandao, China, to save their
life during the Japanese colonial rule.
The South Korean "emigration" is entirely attributable to the colonial
fascist rule of the U.S. and the
anti-national, anti-social rule of the South Korean authorities.
In a bid to actively promote "emigration" the South Korean authorities
set up as a special organization the
"overseas emigration committee" already in the 1950s.
They made the anti-national "emigration" part of their policy by
instituting the "overseas emigration law" and
organizing the "emigration council" in the 1960s and the 1970s.
The present "government" of South Korea is encouraging the
"emigration," calling for the "simplification of
procedures for overseas emigration" and the adoption of the "law on legal
status of overseas Koreans."
The exodus of "emigrants" shows that South Korea is, indeed, a
veritable hell and a society without future, the
statement said, adding:
History will never tolerate the treacherous crimes of the South Korean
authorities who forced the fate of
"emigrant" upon the South Korean people.
KCNA on U.S. senator's reckless remarks
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- U.S. senator Libermann at a recent seminar
in Washington reportedly urged
Japan to revise the present constitution so that its military forces might
be dispatched overseas. So to speak, he
encouraged Japan to rewrite the peace constitution that bans war for its
full-scale aggression overseas.
This laid bare the U.S. sinister attempt to use the Japanese armed
forces as a shock brigade in carrying out its
military strategy to dominate the Asia-Pacific region.
To this end, the United States has trained Japanese armed forces
systematically after World War II. Last year it
instigated Japan to adopt the legislation related to the "U.S.-Japan
Defence Cooperation Guidelines" so as to legalize
the overseas military actions of Japanese militarism.
By doing so, the U.S. made a short cut to using Japanese armed forces
as it pleases in carrying out military
operations in the Asia-Pacific region. The present Japanese constitution is
the only hurdle in its way. If the
constitution is revised, the Japanese armed forces can be involved in any
war of aggression in the world.
The United States' attempt to draw them in a war is as dangerous as
drawing water to a water-mill of Japanese
militarism.
The U.S. reckless move to revive Japanese militarism goes to prove that
the U.S. is the arch harasser of the
world peace.
S. Korean authorities hit for spreading misinformation
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary
rails against the South Korean
authorities for busying themselves spreading misinformation these days.
They floated through Yonhap News story that the DPRK delegation to the
IIHF Asian Oceanic Junior U18
Championships held in February agreed with the South Korean delegation to
have "joint training" and to "form a
unified team." Dong-a Ilbo reported that a South Korean press struck a
"deal" with the publications export and
import agency of the DPRK.
Dismissing these reports as a sheer fabrication, the commentary makes
it clear that the DPRK side has not
signed any agreement or any contract with the south side.
The South Korean authorities seek a very crafty and sinister aim in
spreading misinformation to mislead public
opinion at home and abroad, the commentary notes, and goes on:
They are keen to create the impression that brisk sports and cultural
exchanges are now under way between the
north and south in a bid to convince the public that they are achieving a
sort of "results" in the north-south dialogue.
By doing so, they want to create an atmosphere for the "National
Assembly election" favourable to them.
The media must remain unbiased in any case.
The South Korean press should feel ashamed of being involved in a false
propaganda, tricked by the
authorities.
They should know that it is anti-national and anti-reunification crimes
to release misinformation which will only
result in hindering reconciliation and unity between the north and south
and reunification and fostering
confrontation, far from releasing reports in favour of them.
Moroccan Juche idea study group formed
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- The Group for the Study of the Juche Idea
of Moroccan Youth was
inaugurated on March 1 to mark 18 years after General Secretary Kim Jong
Il's famous work "On the Juche Idea"
was published on March 31, Juche 71 (1982).
Said al Fikak, chairman of the Socialist Youth League of Morocco, was
elected honorary chairman of the
group.
He said at the inaugural meeting that at the present time when the
dominationist moves of the imperialists reach a
grave stage, the Juche idea is a great idea that indicates the road of
struggle to be followed by the world's socialist
forces and other anti-imperialist independent forces and encourages the
struggle of the progressive humankind to
build a free and peaceful new world.
A letter to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the meeting.
For Spanish-speaking people
efectivos yanquis son asesinos
pyongyang, 9 de marzo (atcc) -- recientemente mccarthy, soldado
superior norteamericano asesino cruelmente a
una surcoreana coincidiendo con la sucesiva revelacion de las matanzas
perpetradas por las tropas yanquis contra los
habitantes inocentes durante el periodo de la pasada guerra coreana.
las tropas norteamericanas ocupantes de surcorea acarrearon grandes
desdichas, penalidades y calamidades a los
habitantes surcoreanos.
durante 55 anos perpetraron mas de 270 mil actos de saqueo, violacion y
asesinato.
dirigieron operaciones de represion y asesinato contra los habitantes
surcoreanos patrioticos levantados en la
lucha por la independencia, la democracia y la reunificacion como la
resistencia popular de octubre de 1946 y el
levantamiento popular de kwangju de 1980.
cuando estallo la resistencia popular de la isla jeju en el ano 1948
los imperialistas norteamericanos al declarar:
"debemos mantener la isla aunque matemos a todos sus habitantes" lanzaron
la "guardia de defensa nacional" y los
policias armados a emprender la operacion de matanza y asi asesinaron
cruelmente a mas de 70 mil, numero
equivalente a mas de la cuarta de la poblacion islena.
en surcorea asesinaron a mas de 109 mil habitantes en el ano 1949 y a
un millon durante un periodo de menos
de un ano posterior al estallido de la pasada guerra coreana.
llega a centenares de miles el numero de asesinados en surcorea por las
tropas norteamericanas desde el
armisticio de corea en julio de 1953 hasta la fecha.
en surcorea existen mas de 200 bases militares norteamericanas que
sirven de focos de asesinato y terror entre
otras tongduchon y uijongbu.
durante cerca de 8 anos de la decada de los 1990 mas de 2 mil 400
habitantes murieron o se hirieron a
consecuencia de los ejercicios militares desplegados en los campos de tiro
y entrenamiento dentro de las bases
militares por las tropas yanquis.
yun kum i, ho ju yon y otras muchas surcoreanas fueron violadas y
asesinadas cruelmente por las tropas
yanquis en aldeas bases militares de estas y sus cercanias.
los imperialistas norteamericanos dieron al pueblo coreano perdidas
materiales, humanas y espirituales por valor
de 15 billones de dolares.
las atrocidades criminales de las tropas norteamericanas deben ser
calculadas estrictamente.
aumento de emigrantes sudcoreanos
pyongyang, 9 de marzo (atcc) -- el instituto de reunificacion de patria
hizo publico un articulo concerniente al
aumento incesante del numero de "emigrantes" por la maligna politica
antipopular de los imperialistas
norteamericanos y las autoridades surcoreanas.
el articulo senala:
segun estadisticas oficiales ofrecidas por las autoridades surcoreanas
el ano pasado el numero de "emigrantes"
es mas de 14 mil personas, 12 por ciento mas que el ano 1997, periodo final
del "poder" kim yong sam.
esto es un numero que supera el record de los ultimos anos.
en el pasado "emigraron" principalmente los pobres.
ahora lo hacen medianos y pequenos comerciantes y empresarios,
cientificos, tecnicos, medicos, profesores
universitarios y otros.
el numero de emigrantes llego a cientos de miles a mediados de la
decada de los 1970 y a mas de un millon a
principios de la decada de los 1990.
el numero total de "emigrantes" desde la restauracion (15 de agosto de
1945) hasta la fecha llega a mas de un
millon 415 mil, numero que supera el de quienes fueron a jiandao en busca
de remedio de vida durante el periodo de
dominacion colonial de los imperialistas japoneses.
la emigracion de los surcoreanos se debe enteramente a la dominacion
fascista colonial de los imperialistas
norteamericanos y la dominacion antinacional y antipopular de las
autoridades surcoreanas.
con el fin de fomentar la "emigracion" las autoridades surcoreanas
instalaron en la decada de 1950 un aparato
especializado llamado "comite de emigracion al ultramar".
en las decadas de 1960 y 1970 establecieron la "ley de emigracion al
ultramar" y constituyeron la "sociedad de
emigrantes" para hacer politico este acto antinacional.
el actual "poder" surcoreano promueve la "emigracion" con la
"simplificacion de los tramites de salida al
ultramar" y "ley sobre la posicion juridica de coreanos en el ultramar".
la salida masiva de sudcoreanos demuestra que de veras sudcorea es un
infierno humano.
la historia no perdonara jamas los actos criminales de las autoridades
surcoreanas que fomentan la "emigracion"
de los habitantes surcoreanos.
vocero de asociacion de estudio de derechos humanos de rpdc declara
pyongyang, 9 de marzo (atcc) -- el vocero de la asociacion de estudio
de derechos humanos de la republica
popular democratica de corea publico el dia 8 una declaracion oral.
proteger a los miembros del "ejercito rojo" del japon que son exiliados
politicos en la republica popular
democratica de corea es el derecho legitimo de un estado soberano
reconocido por la ley internacional y nadie puede
intervenir en ese asunto, senala el vocero.
ee.uu. va a discutir el problema de "eliminar" la rpdc de la "lista de
los paises de apoyo al terrorismo" en la
proxima ronda de conversaciones con la rpdc y lo acondiciona a dejar de
permitir la permanencia en nuestro territorio
de los miembros del "ejercito rojo" del japon, recalca el vocero y continua:
esto es una burla e insulto intolerables a la rpdc que se opone al
terrorismo y respeta el derecho humano.
los miembros del "ejercito rojo" del japon son los exiliados politicos
quienes se trasladaron al territorio de la
republica popular democratica de corea para eludir la cruel represion y
persecuciones de las autoridades japonesas.
tal demanda de ee.uu. es un acto descarado de menosprecio a las
costumbres y leyes internacionales y una
flagrante intervencion en nuestros asuntos internos.
nuestra asociacion de estudio de derechos humanos denuncia severamente
tal acto de ee.uu. estigmatizandolo de
un atentado a la soberania de nuestra republica y flagrante violacion al
derecho internacional.
ee.uu. mantiene su ocupacion militar de mas de 50 anos sobre sudcorea
perpetrando ininterrumpidamente actos
terroristas, comete abiertamente la intervencion armada de atentado a la
soberania de irak, yugoslavia y otros paises
y no devuelve a un nino cubano naufragado en el mar a su pais donde lo
esperan sus familiares.
todo esto demuestra claramente que ee.uu. es el mayor terrorista en el
mundo que se ocupa de este acto en todos
los lugares del globo terraqueo.
pero en cada ocasion presenta el "asunto de derechos humanos" para
tildar la rpdc de "pais terrorista" lo que es
un sofisma bandidesco del ladron detras del juez.
el que coincidiendo con el contacto y dialogos binacionales se difunda
en ee.uu. el sofisma contra la contraparte
del dialogo es una clara prueba de que ee.uu. no desea verdaderamente la
mejora de sus relaciones con la rpdc y
recurre invariablemente a la politica de hostilidad a esta.
ee.uu. debe respetar la contraparte del dialogo y tomar la postura
sincera en vez de hablar del "derecho humano"
y "terrorismo" con la malsana intencion de acusarla en contubernio con los
elementos conservadores derechistas del
japon.
el exito de las conversaciones con la rpdc depende enteramente de la
actitud de ee.uu..
no estaremos con los brazos cruzados ante todo acto malsano de ee.uu.
orientado a danar la dignidad y la
autoridad de la rpdc.
ee.uu. debe poner fin ahora mismo a su acto hostil orientado a
perjudicar a la rpdc y tener la acertada posicion y
voluntad de asegurar la paz de la peninsula coreana y mejorar las
relaciones binacionales.
