Pyongyang, December 3 (KCNA) -- Japan attempted to adopt the anti-DPRK "resolution on human rights" while talking about the "abduction issue" at the Third Committee of the 66th UN General Assembly.

The Japanese ambassador to the UN in a speech before voting said that the "potential abduction by the DPRK" couldn't be ruled out as yet and it still remains a pending issue in a bid to build up the public opinion over the human rights issue.

It is ridiculous for the hideous human rights abuser Japan to style itself the initiator of the resolution, talking rhetoric about other country's human rights performance.

This racket kicked up by Japan does not deserve even a passing note as it was another stereotyped and politically-motivated smear campaign staged by the hostile forces to the DPRK including Japan.

No country is so clamorous about the human rights and humanitarianism on the earth as Japan.

Outwardly Japan seems to have a pretty deep interest in human rights.

But does Japan really have the right to talk about it?

As far as the human rights issue is concerned, Japan has no qualification to talk about it.

It is because of its wrong attitude towards past atrocities perpetrated by the Japanese imperialists against the Koreans, a harsh violation of human rights unprecedented in history.

Japan has been recorded in history as an infamous war criminal state as it committed horrible atrocities against Koreans during its occupation of Korea.

It massacred more than one million people, kidnapped or forcibly took away 8.4 million and forced 200 000 women into the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army during its military occupation of Korea that has lasted for nearly half a century.

Far from making an honest apology and reparation for its crimes, Japan has sought to push its hideous inhuman crimes under the carpet for the past more than 60 years since the war.

This is the very reason why Japan is more intent on kicking up the anti-DPRK maneuvers than any other country while talking about humanity and human rights in the international arena.

The "abduction issue" had already seen a solution as declared by the DPRK more than once.

Japan is intentionally highlighting the "abduction issue" and internationalizing it while trying to give impression that it remains an outstanding issue. This is aimed to abuse this issue for serving its political and strategic purposes.

Japan had better make reparation for its past crimes before talking about human rights of other country.
