Recently, at the 3rd Committee of the 77th Session of the UNGA, the “special rapporteur” on the situation of human rights in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) grew impatient to attract the public attention by letting loose a string of reckless remarks that seriously insult the dignity of our state.
It was her debut after taking office. She may have longed for a big applause, but she was driven into a corner being ridiculed and condemned by the world people who branded her as a “special puppet”, not a “special rapporteur”.
The country-specific “special rapporteur” of the UN Human Rights Council is, from the outset, a result of political stratagem, fabricated by the U.S. and the West, targeting independent countries of their dislike. Thus, it thoroughly represents the interests of the forces of backstage manipulation.
Let us see the first report written by the “special rapporteur”, who talks about “victims centered approach” at every possible opportunity.
It rather stands on the side of the offender and takes issue with the victim as it is based on the false information provided by the forces that deny the existence of our state and the inhumane criminal forces that flew malignant virus into our country in order to inflict harm on the life safety of our people.
During the debate on the report by the “special rapporteur”, the U.S. and the West were condemned for misusing false information about the human rights situation in the DPRK in their smear campaign against the DPRK for several decades, and voices were also raised, clamoring for the termination of such anachronistic behaviors. This is not accidental.
The “special rapporteur” is now bringing the sacred UN arena into disrepute with the false data fabricated from the impure political motives of the U.S. and the West. Thus, it is only natural that all people denounce such a behavior as the height of abnormality.
It would be useless to say more because she was reduced to a “political maid” from the very moment when she was appointed to the post of “special rapporteur”.
We have already reiterated on several occasions that we have never recognized the post of “special rapporteur” on human rights situation in the DPRK as it is a mere political tool of the foolish ones scheming to tarnish the image of our state and to overthrow the socialist system.
That the “special rapporteur” and the U.S., which protects and manipulates her, are making a fuss about someone’s “human rights violation” and “accountability” is like banging their heads against a brick wall, and is nothing more than a desperate effort of the ones trembling with apprehension and fear about the reality of our state which is ever-thriving.
No matter how they play sly tricks distorting the reality of our state, the people-centered socialist system will remain unshakable where people become the masters with their dignity and rights being given an absolute priority.
