Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee Lashes out at UNSC "Sanctions Resolution"

Pyongyang, December 3 (KCNA) -- The Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee released a statement on Saturday lashing out at the anti-DPRK "sanctions resolution No. 2321" the U.S.-led hostile forces cooked up by abusing the name of the UNSC on Nov. 30. The "resolution" once again proved that the UNSC, obliged to regard it as its mission to ensure the rights to independence and existence of member states, has been reduced to a nominal puppet international body, the statement said, and went on: The Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee clarifies the following principled stand of the DPRK in connection with the fact that the U.S.-led hostile forces conspired with each other to deny outright the legitimate rights of the DPRK, a justice-loving sovereign state, and persist in their reckless moves to isolate and stifle it: We resolutely reject the UNSC "sanctions resolution" against the DPRK as an unheard-of hideous provocation to it. It is the principled stand of the DPRK that if the "sanctions resolution" adopted by the UNSC is attributable to the nuclear weapons and rockets just as claimed, the U.S. should first face the harshest sanctions as the very one chiefly responsible for them. The army and people of the DPRK will smash the ferocious "sanctions" by the U.S. and its vassal forces through the toughest counteractions and thus reliably defend the sovereignty of their country and vital rights of the nation. The world will clearly see that the jungle law-based brigandish logic pursued by the "sanctions resolution" to wantonly violate the supreme interests of the DPRK can never work. -0-
