What the spokesperson uttered means if the DPRK meets the U.S. brigandish demand concerning the "human rights issue", it is possible to improve the DPRK-U.S. relations.

This is nothing but an attempt to intensify the "human rights offensive" against the DPRK under the spurious signboard of improved relations.

As the international community unanimously claims and censures, the "human rights issue" in the U.S. foreign policy is used as a lever for interfering in internal affairs of other countries and pressurizing them.

The concern spelled out by the U.S. over the non-existent "human rights issue" of the DPRK cannot be interpreted otherwise than a subterfuge to intensify the interference in the internal affairs of the DPRK and pressure upon it.

The "human rights issue" in the DPRK much touted by the U.S. has never existed.

The army and people of the DPRK will never allow the U.S. to bring down the inviolable socialist system under the pretence of "human rights issue."

By nature, the U.S. has neither qualification nor justification to talk about human rights as it is the chieftain of man-killing and human rights abuses.

It is the U.S. which sets the most shameful human rights record in the world. It is condemned at home and abroad for being the world's worst human rights abuser due to its unpopular and inhuman domestic and foreign policies.

The Korean people and the DPRK were always victims when the human rights issue was discussed between the DPRK and the U.S.

The U.S. is a criminal state and human rights abuser as it has systematically abused the human rights of the Korean people in the most inhuman manner.

The U.S. has mercilessly violated the vital rights of the Korean people and their right to existence through outrageous armed interference, genocide and persistent and harsh sanctions and blockade, regarding the dignified DPRK as a thorn in the flesh generation after generation.

If the U.S. truly regards the human rights issue as an important element for improving the DPRK-U.S. relations, it should immediately roll back its hostile policy of aggression towards the DPRK and, at the same time, improve its own human rights record, the poorest in the world.

The U.S. would be well advised to mind its serious human rights issues before taking issue with the "human rights issue" of someone.
