The resolution malignantly slandered the DPRK, talking about "provocation", "apology", "punishment" and "reparation". It also urged the authorities to take "tough countermeasures by both military and non-military means" and the international community to take more "resolute and effective countermeasures".

In this regard the Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea issued information bulletin No. 958 on Saturday, which termed such action a blatant challenge to the desire of Koreans and the international community and an intolerable act of treachery carrying the sinister intention to opt for confrontation and take to the path of war to the last.

The bulletin said:

Not only south Koreans but the international community are getting increasingly skeptical about the "results of investigation" into the warship case announced by the puppet group, and the demand for reinvestigation is high on the agenda. Meanwhile, the discussion on the case at the UN is ending in smoke.

The recent railroading was nothing but a last-ditch effort of those upset by full exposure of the truth about the conspiratorial case.

The puppet group's persistent anti-DPRK racket under the pretext of the sinking case will escalate confrontation and the danger of war.

We will never tolerate the recent railroading of the "resolution". The puppet group will be held fully accountable for all the consequences to be entailed by its scheme to pass the "resolution" through the full-dress NA session that may create a catastrophic crisis on the Korean Peninsula.
