KCNA Commentary Blasts American-style "Championing of Human Rights"

Pyongyang, December 11 (KCNA) -- It is 68 years since the World Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in reflection of the desire of mankind, but even at this moment a grave situation of human rights violation is prevailing on the earth. Recently, the U.S. and its vassal forces again railroaded the anti-DPRK "human rights resolution" full of lies and fabrications through the Third Committee of the 71st UN General Assembly. Obama and the state secretary and other outgoing authorities of the U.S. are blustering that it is necessary to leave no means untried to settle "north Korea's human rights issue" and the U.S. Congress is claiming that it will extend the application of the "North Korean Human Rights Act" till 2022. This represents an insult to the genuine human rights and the worst violation of the sovereignty of a nation. Such barbarous actions taken by the U.S. under the pretext of "protection of human rights" are now claiming huge casualties and a large number of refugees across the world. The U.S. is the worst human rights abuser in the world as the world community comments. The final document of the 17th non-aligned summit and the declaration of the 77-group ministerial meeting held during the 71st UN General Assembly reflect a stern judgment passed on the American-style "human rights standards" and the will to champion the genuine human rights. Those countries and nations desirous of independence should heighten their vigilance against the U.S. propaganda about "championing human rights" aimed at abusing them for its political purposes and wage a dynamic struggle against it. -0-
