Japan urged not to delay apology and compensation
Pyongyang, December 3 (KCNA) -- Japan's dragging its feet in redressing
its past will add to the crimes
and debts and a sincere apology and compensation will be beneficial to
Japan itself.
Rodong Sinmun today says this in its signed commentary.
With nothing Japan can keep its past crimes buried in oblivion and
avoid responsibility for them, the
news analyst says. He cites facts to prove that the Japanese imperialists
inflicted the most cruel and barbarous
disasters and damage upon the Korean people.
Recalling that the recent issue of the Japanese weekly magazine
Sekaishuho reported that many Korean
people had been kidnapped and drafted for slave labour by the Japanese
government, the commentary says:
Japan still refuses to redress its past, the grisliest crimes, even
though half a century has passed.
Germany and Italy, such war criminal states as Japan, already
apologized for their crimes of aggression
and compensated to the countries and peoples, the victims, and are now
compensating to them.
On the contrary, Japan still refuses to make an apology and
compensation for its crimes of aggression. It
denies its past crimes.
This proves that Japan is inferior to Germany and Italy in terms of
conscience, morality and politicking.
What Japan seeks in refusing to redress its past is to repeat the
crime-woven past.
The DPRK is urging Japan to redress its past in order that the Korean
people defend their dignity and
exercise their sovereign right, prevent Japan from reinvading and preserve
peace in Asia, not to get a few
pennies from Japan.
It is a deserved right of the DPRK to get an apology and compensation
from Japan and the DPRK has the
will to exercise the right. The Korean people will get the demand met down
through generations.
Preservation of Juche character called for
Pyongyang, December 3 (KCNA) -- Preserving the Juche character is
instrumental in achieving national
reunification and it is decisive of the destinies of the country and
nation, says Rodong Sinmun in a signed
article today.
The article goes on:
To maintain the Juche character in achieving Korea's reunification
means that the country's reunification
should be achieved independently and creatively by the Korean nation itself.
Strengthening the driving force is decisive of the victory of the cause
of national reunification.
The driving force of national reunification is all the Koreans in the
north, south and abroad.
Korea's reunification is, in essence, to relink the blood vessel of the
nation severed by outside forces,
and to achieve the national unity and realise the nation's independence
throughout the country.
Only when the driving force of national reunification is built up, is
it possible to frustrate the
anti-reunification moves of the separatists at home and abroad and reunify
the country.
The firm unity of the pro-reunification patriotic forces, the main
force of reunification, should be ensured
in order to strengthen the force.
It is possible for the Korean nation to achieve its great unity.
The pro-reunification patriotic driving force has grown to be an entity
involving all Koreans in the north,
the south and abroad under the banner of the five-point policy of great
national unity advanced by the
respected leader Kim Jong Il, and firmly united organizationally to wage a
vigorous struggle for the
independent and peaceful reunification of the country.
It proves that the key to national reunification is to maintain the
Juche character and strengthen its driving
force in every way.
Rosy future of a reunified country is guaranteed by strict preservation
of the Juche character of the
nation.
Abolition of SL called for
Pyongyang, December 3 (KCNA) -- Students under the South Korean
Federation of University Student
Councils staged a large-scale demonstration in Seoul on December 1 in
demand of the abolition of the
"Security Law," Voice of America said.
Over 1,500 students held a "national rally for the abolition of the
'Security Law'" in front of the building
of "National Assembly" in Youido, Seoul. While trying to march towards the
building, they had a fierce clash
with police.
More than 30 students and policemen were wounded in the clash and at
least 10 students were walked
away by the police.
Kim Jong Il eulogized
Pyongyang, December 3 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun yesterday carried a
political essay "natural
disposition of general of Mt. Paektu" on the personality of the respected
leader Kim Jong Il as a great man.
His native place was a fierce battle site on Mt. Paektu and his first
clothes was a battle-smoke-sainted
guerrilla uniform and the gift he received for the first in his life was a
pistol, the political essay says, and goes
on:
He experienced two revolutionary wars before his teens.
He is an outstanding great man of military origin who has the same
ideology, spirit, qualities, mode of
activity, sentiment and emotion as serviceman.
He has a peculiar philosophy on rifle which regards the rifle as an
unchangeable comrade, boundless
magnanimity and grit. He always emerges victorious with an ambitious
operation and plenty of guts and
incalculable mode of attack, making anything impossible possible. He enjoys
a nap in a running car or a
firing range rather than in a quiet office room. He is fond of
revolutionary army songs.
Serviceman is the pronoun of Kim Jong Il as the greatest man in the world.
His resolution and fighting spirit are as strong as arms.
His temperament is frank and energetic. He has optimism peculiar to
serviceman and explosive and
fervent feelings.
All the qualities peculiar to Kim Jong Il as the great man are based on
his disposition as befitting
serviceman.
The spirit of great general of Mt. Paektu, matchless armed forces that
are full of the revolutionary spirit
of soldiers and that defend the headquarters of the revolution, and the
army-first politics relying on them are
the most powerful weapon and the banner of certain victory that Kim Jong Il
holds fast to.
Korea's gymnastic display and art performance lauded
Pyongyang, December 3 (KCNA) -- It is my highest pride and honor to
have seen the masterpiece of the
world standard, the acme of human civilization in the 20th century, in my
life. Anyone who sees this mass
gymnastic display and art performance will come to know more clearly what
miracles the DPRK, a great
country, has been working.
This is what mustafa jaber, chairman of the Jordanian National
Committee for the Study of the Juche
Idea, on a visit to the DPRK, said after viewing the display and
performance held to mark the 55th
anniversary of the Worker's Party of Korea.
he said:
What is the source of the unbreakable strength of the happy and
cheerful Korean people braving the
harsh ordeals, united closer around their leader?
I have become more convinced of this secret, seeing the scenes of the
display and performance which
showed the militant road that the WPK traversed to make a history of
certain victory.
Standing in the van of the Korean revolution is the great Kim Jong Il
possessed of matchless grit and
iron will.
The Korean people are creating something out of nothing with the firm
faith that guided by him, they will
always emerge victorious.
I more keenly felt the honor and pride of being a follower of the great
Juche idea, a man-centred idea
seeing the true picture of Korea where this idea has come true.
The future of Korea is rosy as it has the great party and the great people.
For Spanish-speaking people
en la decada de los 90 pueblo coreano ha logrado victoria
pyongyang, 2 de diciembre (atcc) -- en la decada de los 90 el pueblo
coreano ha logrado la gran victoria
sobreponiendose a las mas severas pruebas.
las calamidades naturales repetidas en varios anos y la desaparicion
del mercado socialista ejercieron
serias influencias sobre el conjunto de economia de corea. de ello se
valieron los imperialistas para arreciar
sus jugarretas de aislar y aplastar la rpdc.
debido a la falta de materias primas, energia, materiales y equipos se
mermo la produccion en el conjunto
de economia, lo que imposibilito satisfacer la demanda del pueblo sobre los
articulos de uso diario para no
hablar del desarrollo economico del pais. no se pudo continuar el ordinario
suministro de viveres, debido a lo
cual se incremento bruscamente el numero de las familias que subsistian con
comestibles alternativos.
la situacion era varias veces mas dificil que el periodo de postguerra
de la decada de los 50 cuando se
destruyo todo por la guerra de tres anos.
en la decada de los 90 el pueblo coreano sufrio el gran duelo nacional
por la perdida de su gran lider,
presidente kim il sung.
todo el mundo se preocupo del futuro de corea. pero el pueblo de este
pais no se desanimo, sino se
levanto como ave fenix.
el gran dirigente kim jong il, poseedor de la ferrea voluntad y audacia
sin parangon, rechazo con actitud
resuelta la presion militar y el "alboroto de inspeccion nuclear" de los
enemigos y defendio la dignidad
nacional y el socialismo.
con la original politica de dar prioridad al ejercito condujo al
triunfo la "marcha penosa" y la marcha
forzada preparando asi un trampolin de la construcccion de potencia.
bajo su sabia direccion el pueblo coreano siguio marchando hacia
adelante lleno de credo y optimismo
revolucionarios.
durante el periodo de severas pruebas se propagaron a todo el pais el
espiritu revolucionario de los
militares del ejercito popular quienes construyeron la central
hidroelectrica "juventud" de anbyon y el noble
ejemplo de los habitantes de la provincia de jagang, poseedores del
espiritu de autoconfianza y de tenaz lucha.
esto sirvio de una gran manifestacion de la ferrea voluntad y
conviccion del indomable pueblo coreano.
los cientificos y tecnicos coreanos fabricaron, completaron y lanzaron
exitosamente el satelite artificial de
la tierra "kwangmyongsong no.1".
este exito siendo un gran canonazo de la construccion de potencia
sirvio de un importante motivo para dar
nueva compresion a la gente del mundo que se preocupaba del porvenir de corea.
ademas, se dio solucion a los apremiantes problemas cientifico-tecnicos
entre otros la culminacion del
original metodo de produccion de hierro por inyeccion de oxigeno y se dio
cima a la obra de carretera
"chongnyon yongung" en un tramo de mas de 40 kilometros y a la ampliacion
de la base de generacion
electrica de la region de thaechon. ademas se levantaron numerosas
creaciones monumentales.
tambien aparecieron la avenida "9 de septiembre", el tunel kumrung
no.2, el puente chongryu y la salina
kwangmyongsong.
se desplegaron grandes obras de construccion del territorio nacional
para renovar la fisonomia del pais
incluyendo el arreglo de mas de 200 mil hectareas de tierra cultivable en
las provincias de kangwon y
phyong-an del norte.
se ha elevado extraordinariamente la autoridad internacional del pais.
se puede decir asi porque italia, australia, filipinas y otros varios
paises occidentales establecieron o
reanudaron sus relaciones diplomaticas con la rpdc y muchos paises de
europa confirman su disposicion de
hacer lo mismo con ella.
en la decada de los 90 la rpdc ha defendido la bandera del socialismo
superando las pruebas por el
poderio de la unidad monolitica del lider, el partido y las masas. sera mas
radiante su perspectiva en el siglo
21.
posicion de rpdc sobre crimenes relativos a "consoladoras a militares" de
japon
pyongyang, 2 de diciembre (atcc) -- hong son ok, presidenta del comite
de medidas de indemnizacion a
"consoladoras a los militares" del japon y victimas de la guerra del
pacifico de la republica popular
democratica de corea volvio a exponer la posicion del gobierno de la rpdc
sobre los crimenes concernientes a
"consoladoras a militares" perpetrados por el japon en el periodo de
ocupacion militar a corea.
hong son ok se encontro ayer en el hotel koryo de esta capital con
tomiichi murayama, director del
"fondo nacional de paz de asia para las mujeres". ella subrayo que el
gobierno de la rpdc mantiene la
invariable posicion de que el gobierno japones debe pedir disculpa y hacer
indemnizacion a las victimas del
caso "consoladoras a militares".
tomiichi murayama, ex premier y presidente de la asociacion nacional
por el fomento de las relaciones
diplomaticas japon-corea se encuentra de visita en la rpdc a partir del 30
de noviembre.
hong son ok dijo:
son necesarias la disculpa e indemnizacion estatales por los crimenes
del estado. pero el japon pretende
ocultar el crimen perpetrado en el pasado obligando a las mujeres coreanas
la vida de esclavas sexuales y
eludir la responsabilidad gubernamental sobre este particular por medio de
ofrecer unos centavos de dinero a
las victimas del caso "consoladoras a militares" a traves de una "entidad
no gubernamental". un ejemplo de
ello es el "fondo nacional de paz de asia para las mujeres" que puso a
funcionar el ano 1995 el gobierno
japones.
lo importante en la indemnizacion a las referidas "consoladoras" no es
el que las victimas reciban la
indemnizacion o no sino el que el gobierno japones, danador directo asuma
su responsabiliad legal para hacer
indemnizacion..
en tal contexto se puede decir que el modo del "fondo nacional" no
puede representar las relaciones
juridicas entre el gobierno japones, danador y las victimas del caso
"consoladoras".
el dinero que el gobierno japones ofrece a traves del "fondo nacional"
juridicamente no tiene nada que ver
con las "victimas" del ejercito japones. ademas el "fondo nacional" juega
el rol de cobrar dinero de los
habitantes ordinarios y de entregarlo a las victimas en cuestion . asi el
"fondo nacional" no es la parte
responsable de la indemnizacion sino es intermediador. y este dinero no es
de indemnizacion sino de
"caridad".
el gobierno de la rpdc ha subrayado que el gobierno japones no puede
librarse jamas de su
responsabilidad sobre el crimen de derecho humano que cometio contra la
nacion coreana y toda la humanidad
al imponer a mas de 200 mil mujeres la vida de esclava sexual sino que debe
retirar de inmediato el "fondo
nacional" que no se puede justificar tanto en lo juridico como en lo moral.
hong son ok expreso la esperanza que tomiichi murayama al tomar en
seria consideracion el sentimiento
del pueblo coreano y en particular el rencor de las victimas del caso
"consoladoras a militares" despliegue
actividades para hacer la disculpa e indemnizacion gubernamental, no por el
"fondo nacional", en cuanto a los
crimenes cometidos en el pasado por el japon.
