Minju Joson Wednesday says this in its signed commentary.

It goes on:

The DPRK is a sovereign state with an equal independent right with other countries and a full-fledged member state of the UN. To pull up the DPRK over its satellite launch is a wanton infringement upon the sovereignty of the DPRK and a serious insult to its dignity.

If the UNSC takes up the above-said issue at the prodding of the U.S. and its followers, it will either leave only a disgraceful stain on its history or reveal itself before the whole world that it is no more than a puppet mechanism controlled by specified states.

The outcries made by such countries as the United States and Japan, describing the above-said issue as a sort of serious development, are intended to make crafty use of the UN for achieving their ulterior political purpose.

These countries stand in the way of any project when they see it contradictory to their interests regardless of whether it pertains to the independent rights of a sovereign state or whether it is a just and aboveboard one guaranteed by international law.

This is precisely the reason why they are creating such a complicated situation surrounding the DPRK's projected space development, an opportunity given to each sovereign state, blustering that only the DPRK should not be allowed to do so.

Taking issue with the DPRK's satellite launch diametrically runs counter to the spirit of the September 19 joint statement.

Therefore, the discussion of the above-said issue by the UNSC itself would mean the collapse of the six-party talks and everything achieved until now in the process for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula come to naught.

If the UNSC takes up the above-said matter defying all the adverse consequences, the responsibility for them will entirely rest with the UN and other countries involved in the lobbying to refer it to the UNSC, warns the commentary.
