The ASSPUK , JISGE and UK Korean Friendship Association today issued the following joint statement concerning the anti DPRK "human rights" resolution adopted at the 3rd Committee of the 67th UN General Assembly ; we wholeheartedly condemn the anti DPRK resolution cooked up by the US imperialists and other world reactionary forces and support the stance taken by the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK.
The resolution is motivated by a hatred of the DPRK's Juche-based socialist system centred upon the popular masses . Moreover it a product of an intrigue by the US imperialists and the south Korean puppets to stifle Korean -style socialism.
There is no "human rights" issue in the DPRK . Rights such as the right work are guaranteed by law . Members of our organisations visiting the DPRK this year saw that there was no starvation and in fact Korean people are being provided with an increasing range of recreational and leisure facilities .
It is actually the US imperialists that are the biggest human rights abusers in the world. The US has invaded many countries and its "war on terror" has claimed many innocent lives especially through drone attacks. It is the US that have imprisoned people without trial , built secret prisons and indeed have the biggest prison population in the world. The US is the biggest exploiter and oppressor in the world. It is the US that is the puppet master of the south Korean regime which jails pro reunification and progressive people.
The EU which sponsored the resolution is widely regarded as undemocratic, bureaucratic and authoritarian . The EU has massive unemployment with many young people out of work. The EU denies sovereignty to its member states. Japan another sponsor of the resolution is a racist state which does not respect the rights of national minorities within its borders and has never apologized for sexual slavery.
We would like to ask why the UN says nothing about the arrest and detention of Mr Ro Su Hui in south Korea ? Was this not a flagrant violation of human rights ?
The resolution adopted by the UN under the pressure of US imperialism and its acolytes is an attack on the DPRK's sovereignty. We say that the resolution should be binned and the US stop interfering in the DPRK internal affairs.
