Rodong Sinmun Urges U.S. to Stand Trial for Human Rights Abuses

Pyongyang, November 30 (KCNA) -- Recently the International Criminal Court released a report that U.S. forces and the CIA committed war crimes in their secret prisons in various parts of the world. According to it, they cruelly tortured dozens of prisoners in secret prisons in Afghanistan, Poland, etc. Rodong Sinmun observes Wednesday in a commentary in this regard: The demands for incriminating the U.S. bloody wars and horrible massacres in different parts of the world were not raised at present. The International Criminal Court (ICC), a puppet court of the West, made an about-face and issued such a report all of a sudden because various countries decided to secede from the ICC and are going through formalities to do so. Consequently, the prestige and image of the ICC are sinking to the ground. Now that the ICC's existence is jeopardized, it can no longer connive at the war crimes being committed by the U.S. because it is the world's worst human rights abuser. The U.S. would be well advised to atone for its human rights abuses committed in the course of aggression and war, domination and plunder before history and mankind, before talking about someone's non-existent "human rights issue." And it should stand trial of its own accord. -0-
