Recently, the newly-appointed “special rapporteur” on human rights situation in the DPRK, when making what is called a “statement” after her assumption of the office, let loose certain absurd remarks making issue out of the human rights situation of our country that goes: The human rights situation in north Korea got even worse with the COVID-19 anti-epidemic measures; she expresses concern over the decades-old violation of human rights and so on.
With her recent “statement”, she betrayed, despite herself, her ignorance and prejudiced point of view on our country.
We have never even recognized the very existence of the “special rapporteur” on human rights situation in the DPRK, whose origin is the result of political stratagem of the hostile forces scheming to stifle our ideology and system under the pretext of human rights.
Since the creation of this “post” in 2004, the only thing her three successive predecessors had done was to collect conspiratorial data from the human scums of “defectors” who would concoct them at random for the sake of eking out a living, and to take the lead in the human rights confrontation clamour staged under the scenario of the U.S. and other hostile forces to tarnish the image of our Republic.
Looking at the recently-resigned previous “special rapporteur” alone, he had been hell bent on plotting and propaganda, submitting anti-DPRK “human rights” reports to the UNGA and UNHRC every year and moving from one place to another – the United States, Japan, south Korea and the like.
However, what awaited him was the bad name of “old stooge of the West” and stern denunciation and rejection from home and abroad.
Our country offers institutional, legal and practical guarantee of human rights to its people and the working people enjoy independent and happy life to their heart content as genuine masters of society. Slandering such a reality of our dignified state is no more than a sorry act of trying to screen the glaring rays of the sun with a tainted palm.
Our state shoulders the responsibility for human rights of our own people.
The “special rapporteur” who doesn’t even know the ABCs of our country should bear in mind that such indiscretion about her words from the very beginning would only seal her fate as another “puppet” of the U.S. and the West, and invite shame and dishonor upon herself much like her predecessors.
The “special rapporteur” would be well-advised to bid a decided farewell, though belatedly, to the politicization, selectivity and double-standard of human rights and apply herself in earnest to studies to see us squarely.
