World Day of Human Rights observed
Pyongyang, December 10 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates a signed article to the World Day of Human Rights.
The desire of humankind to lead an independent and creative life while exercising their rights will surely be achieved, the article says, and goes on:
The issues of ensuring and improving human rights are widely discussed on the occasion of the day this year.
The true standards of human rights are whether an independent and creative life of the popular masses is ensured or not.
The DPRK thoroughly ensures true vital rights and democratic freedom to all members of society.
In capitalist society working people are deprived of human dignity and political rights and even the right to existence.
The imperialists are now interfering in internal affairs of other countries with their "standards of human rights," asserting that human rights have no border and human rights are above power.
Their logic on human rights is to justify their aggression and armed intervention in other countries.
That is why most of the countries have waged a resolute struggle against the imperialists' interference in their internal affairs and encroachment on their sovereignty, rejecting the western "standards of human rights" and logic on "human rights" in the international arena including the UN.
Minju Joson dedicates an article to the World Day of Human Rights.
International Day of Broadcasting for Children marked
Pyongyang, December 10 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson today in a signed article marks the International Day of Broadcasting for Children.
On this day colorful events are taking place in many countries for children on the theme set out by an international organization, the article says, and goes on:
The theme of the day this year is existence and well-being of children.
The problem of children is getting serious in many countries due to the consequences of the old international order and the lack of proper state measures for children.
The DPRK took part in drafting the declaration and action program of the world summit for children and worked out a national action program based on them and have made tireless efforts for its implementation over the last decade.
The DPRK government will as always pay deep attention to the work to promote the children's well-being and strengthen cooperation with the international organization and various countries of the world in this field.
Japanese media's anti-DPRK false propaganda flailed
Pyongyang, December 10 (KCNA) -- Japan's media is now busy spreading false rumour that the DPRK is "negotiating with some countries for the indigenous production of up-to-date fighters and interceptor missiles" and "it is stepping up the modernization of conventional weapons."
Nihon Keizai Shimbun even went so far as to assert that "voices are heard expressing concern over the escalating arms race on the Korean peninsula."
In this regard Rodong Sinmun today observes in a signed commentary:
It can never be overlooked that media of Japan is pulling up the DPRK, which poses no problem, under this or that absurd pretext, while keeping mum about its militarist forces' ever more frantic arms buildup.
It is certain that the Japanese militarist forces are behind this smear campaign, commentary notes, and continues:
The anti-DPRK false propaganda reflects the ulterior aim of the Japanese reactionaries who speed up their arms buildup and launch overseas aggression.
Such attitude of media does not accord with their mission nor helps improve the DPRK-Japan relations.
Japan's media is well advised to discard such a trite method.
