Pyongyang, November 17 (KCNA) -- It is the basic requirement for ensuring lasting world peace to build a world of respect for sovereignty, says Rodong Sinmun on Saturday in a bylined article. Every country can achieve independence with an equal right when a new international order of respect for sovereignty is established, the article notes, and goes on: High-handed and arbitrary practices and the application of double standards based on the logic of strength prevail and violations of sovereignty such as use of force and its threat and interference in internal affairs of other countries and sanctions against them are becoming evermore undisguised in the international relations at present. The root cause of disturbing peace and stability is the imperialist forces' policy of aggression and war for infringing on and stamping out other countries' sovereignty. Undisguised acts of aggression and war in various regions at present and the world's confusion are the consequences entailed by the aggression, wars and military intervention of the imperialists who regard it as pleasure to infringe upon the sovereignty of other countries by force of arms. The more frantic aggression forces become in their moves to infringe upon the sovereignty of other countries, the more seriously the world peace and stability are threatened and disturbed. This is the lesson and truth taught by history. It is a basic requirement for establishing an international order of respect for sovereignty to wage a dynamic struggle against imperialism. Only when the imperialists' aggression and domination are brought to an end, is it possible to establish an international order of respect for sovereignty and build a new world, free and peaceful. Genuine friendship and cooperation desired by peoples can come true in the world where sovereignty is respected. Friendship and cooperation provide important conditions for ensuring harmony and unity among countries and nations and achieving common progress and prosperity. If great power chauvinism and hegemony intended to oppress and dominate others and flunkeyism of kowtowing to big and developed countries, not believing in their own strength but looking upon others, are allowed in the relations among countries and nations, this will create inequality and discord among them and bar true friendly ties from being established among them. Only when an international order whereby sovereignty of big or small countries is respected is established, is it possible to achieve harmony, unity and cooperation, as well as common progress and prosperity desired by people. It is an important guarantee for building a new world, free and peaceful, where national sovereignty is respected for the anti-imperialist and independent countries to bolster up their capability for self-defence. |
