Name of UN abused by U.S.
Pyongyang, June 16 (KCNA) -- The U.S. ignited the Korean War on June
25, 1950 and abused the name of the
UN in a bid to cover up the true color of the provoker.
They convened a meeting of the UN Security Council on the very day when
they started the war, fabricated the
"armed attack from the north" and had it adopted an unreasonable
"resolution" describing the DPRK as an "invader."
In this regard the U.S. book "History of the Korean War" (page 128)
says that the U.S. proposal to brand North
Korea as an "invader" was forced into approval without additional
information and details of the crisis in the 38th
parallel.
At the UN Security Council meeting which was open on June 27 at the
request of the United States, the U.S.
representative described the counter-attack of the Korean People's Army as
an "attack on the UN itself" and put forth a
"resolution" recommending UN member nations to grant necessary "aid" to
South Korea allegedly to beat back the
"armed attack" and restore peace and security in the region.
The voting machine was used to pass through a "resolution" to
legitimate the entry of the U.S. and satellite armed
forces into the Korean War.
Another "resolution" was adopted to put the helmet of the UN forces on
the U.S. troops and put the satellite troops
under the command of the U.S.
Upon Truman's orders Macarthur was appointed "commander of the UN
forces" on July 8 and the U.S. far
eastern headquarters in Tokyo changed into the "UN command" on July 25.
Like this the U.S. usurped the name of the United Nations to shift the
blame for the outbreak of the war on to the
DPRK and mobilized one third of their ground force, one fifth of their air
force, most of their pacific fleet and even
troops of 15 satellite countries under the pretext of the "UN forces."
However, the United States suffered a serious defeat in the Korean War
for the first time in history and had to sign
the Armistice Agreement.
Japanese reactionaries' anti-DPRK campaign
Pyongyang, June 16 (KCNA) -- Recently Japanese right-wing reactionaries
riding in 12 separate loudspeaker vans
came close to the DPRK's trading ship "Jangjasan" which was loading food at
Osaka port went on the rampage,
heaping malignant slanders and calumnies on the DPRK and even throwing
stones at the ship.
Earlier on May 27 a similar thing happened at Nagoya port.
All these facts indicate that these were not accidental provocations by
a few gangsters but part of the undisguised
premeditated anti-DPRK smear campaign launched by right-wing reactionaries
of Japan.
As far as food aid is concerned, it is offered by the Japanese side to
the DPRK from a humanitarian stand.
Therefore, no political strings are attached to this. It is prompted
only by such humanitarianism as helping each
other in time of need, transcending the difference in ideologies and systems.
The hooliganism orchestrated by Japanese right-wing reactionaries only
laid bare their true colors as a group of
rogues bereft of ethics and morality and humanitarianism.
There are political forces challenging progress, claiming to be
conservative, in the world but, no such silly and
wicked force as Japanese right-wing reactionaries who totally deny even
humanitarianism.
The Japanese right-wing reactionaries are a challenger to
humanitarianism and a cancer-like existence standing in
the way of improving the relations between the DPRK and Japan.
Such Rowdyism committed near a foreign ship by a group of gangsters in
Japan which styles itself a
"law-governed state" is attributable to the tacit connivance of the
Japanese authorities.
If the Japanese authorities sincerely want the improved DPRK-Japan
relations, they should take steps for public
peace in order to stop right-wing gangsters' anti-DPRK hostile acts and
national chauvinist hooliganism.
U.S. attempt to evade responsibility for GIs' massacres
Pyongyang, June 16 (KCNA) -- The U.S. warmongers screened a documentary
film at a "Memorial Day concert"
staged as part of the functions commemorating the half centenary of the
Korean War. There they did not bother to
assert that tragedies such as what happened in Rogun-ri took place because
of soldiers of the people's army among the
refugees.
They also argued that the U.S. Army "requested the U.S. Air force to
bomb groups of civilians because they,
considered to be instigated by the people's army and included by its
soldiers, were infiltrating into its base".
Rodong sinmun today in a signed commentary dismisses this as a
despicable and wicked trick to evade the
responsibility for their crimes against humanity.
It is a deep-seated vicious habit for the united states to shift blame
for its wrongs on to others, the commentary
notes, and goes on: the U.S. imperialists have so far twisted hard facts
about their start of the Korean War and their
massacres of civilians.
Up until recent days alone the U.S. imperialists claimed they could not
"verify" the Rogun-ri incident despite the
every "possible effort made to investigate" it. But they are now insisting
soldiers of the people's army were among the
refugees.
This is nothing but a foolish trick to tarnish the image of the
people's army, shirk their responsibility for the
crimes, tone down the anti-U.S. sentiment mounting among the South Korean
people higher than ever before and
escape from worldwide criticism.
The truth of history can neither be covered up nor falsified. With no
sleight of hand can the U.S. imperialists
evade the responsibility for their crimes, concludes the commentary.

imperialistas norteamericanos son provocadores de guerra coreana (5)
pyongyang, 16 de junio (atcc) -- los imperialistas norteamericanos
desataron el 25 de junio de 1950 la guerra
coreana abusando el nombre de la onu a fin de encubrir su fisonomia de
provocador.
el mismo dia del inicio de la guerra los imperialistas norteamericanos
convocaron la sesion del consejo de
seguridad de la onu en la cual inventaron la ficcion "ataque armada del
norte" e hicieron aprobar la injusta "resolucion"
que define la rpd de corea como "agresora".
al respecto el libro norteamericano "historia de la guerra coreana"
(128 pag) senala que se aprobo por coercion el
proyecto de ee.uu. destinado a tildar a la rpdc de "agresora" sin contar
con informacion suplementaria ni enterarse de
los detalles del caso ocurrido en el paralelo 38.
en la sesion del consejo de seguridad de la onu efectuada de nuevo el
27 de junio por la peticion de ee.uu. el
representante norteamericano al describir el contraataque del ejercito
popular de corea como "ofensiva a la misma onu"
presento la "resolucion" que recomienda a los paises miembros de la onu a
brindar a sudcorea "ayuda" necesaria para
rechazar la "ofensiva armada" y restaurar la paz y la seguridad en esa region.
con la movilizacion de la maquinaria de votacion ee.uu. aprobo
injustamente la "resolucion" para legalizar la
participacion en la guerra coreana de los efectivos de sus tropas y los
paises satelites.
ademas ee.uu. hizo aprobar la "resolucion" para poner a sus tropas la
"gorra de las fuerzas de la onu" y someter a
su mando las tropas de los paises satelites.
segun la orden de truman, el 8 de julio macarthur fue nombrado como
"comandante de las fuerzas de la onu" y el
25 de julio la "comandancia de las fuerzas norteamericanas en el extremo
oriente" en tokio se convirtio en
"comandancia de las fuerzas de la onu".
al abusar el nombre de la onu los imperialistas norteamericanos
imputaron a la rpdc la responsabilidad del estallido
de la guerra y recurrieron a todos los medios y metodos, ante todo
movilizaron la tercera parte de sus fuerzas terrestres,
la quinta de sus fuerzas aereas y la mayoria de su flota del pacifico y las
tropas de 15 paises satelites bajo el rotulo de
las "fuerzas de la onu".
pero ee.uu. sufrio por primera vez en su historia la gran derrota en la
guerra coreana y se vio obligado a firmar el
acuerdo de armisticio.
reaccionarios derechistas de japon deben actuar con prudencia, comentario
de atcc
pyongyang, 16 de junio (atcc) -- recientemente, a instigacion de los
reaccionarios derechistas del japon los
gangsters fueron a bordo de 12 carros parlante frente al buque mercantil de
la rpdc "jangjasan" que estaba cargando
viveres en el puerto de osaka y echaron injurias contra la rpdc e incluso
lanzaron piedras.
con anterioridad, el dia 27 de mayo ocurrio semejante incidente tambien
en el puerto de nagoya.
todos los hechos demuestran que el incidente en el puerto de osaka no
es un fenomeno casual ocurrido por algunos
gangsters sino un eslabon de la abierta campana anti-rpdc fraguada por los
reaccionarios derechistas del japon.
los viveres arriba mencionados corresponden a la ayuda humanitaria del
japon a la rpdc.
al armar tal alboroto en el puerto de osaka los reaccionarios
derechistas del japon revelaron que ellos mismos son
una horda de picaros que carecen del humanitarismo y de la moral etica.
ellos son desafiadores al ideal humanitarista y opositores a la mejora
de las relaciones rpdc-japon.
la cuestion reside en que en el japon llamado "estado constitucional"
sus autoridades se mantengan con boca
cerrada ante tal realidad.
si las autoridades japonesas desean de veras la mejora de sus
relaciones con la rpdc deben mantener estrictamente
la seguridad de su pais de modo que no se repita tal acto de hostilidad a
la rpdc de los gangsters derechistas y poner fin
a tal locura chovinista.
ee.uu. elude responsabilidad
pyongyang, 16 de junio (atcc) -- los belicistas imperialistas
norteamericanos en un reciente "concierto por el dia de
duelo" desarrollado en el marco de las "actividades por el 50 aniversario"
del estallido de la guerra coreana proyectaron
un documental tratando de convencer a la gente de que "por los militares
del ejercito popular infiltrados en las filas de
los refugiados ocurrio la tragedia como el caso de la comuna de rogun".
segun el documental, la fuerza terrestre norteamericana "pidio a su
fuerza aerea el bombardeo" sobre dicha comuna
por que muchas filas de civiles manipuladas por el ejercito popular de
corea o mezcladas con este "se infiltraron" en la
base norteamericana.
el diario "rodong sinmun" en un comentario de hoy senala que esto es
una vil artimana encaminada a eludir su
culpa de haber perpetrado atrocidades antieticas y continua:
ee.uu. tiene el mal habito de imputar su culpa a otro.
hasta hoy ha tergiversado la provocacion de la guerra coreana y la
matanza a civiles.
hasta hace poco dijo que aunque "averiguo por todos los metodos
posibles" el caso de la comuna de rogun, no
pudo "comprobarlo". llegado hoy implica en ese caso a nuestro ejercito
popular con el fin de ensuciar la imagen de este
y librarse de su culpa de haber perpetrado atrocidad y apaciguar el elevado
espiritu de lucha antiyanqui de la poblacion
surcoreana y calmar la censura mundial.
nunca se puede encubrir ni tergiversar la verdad de la historia. con
ninguna ardid los imperialistas norteamericanos
podran librarse de su culpa.
