Rodong Sinmun Demands Immediate Dismantlement of "UN Command"
Pyongyang, October 5 (KCNA) -- The "UN Command" should be immediately dismantled as it is a war mechanism cooked up by the U.S. in the past Korean war to introduce armed forces of its allies and establish a command over them, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in an article.

Referring in detail to the illegality of the setting up of the "UN Command" and the urgent need to dismantle it, the article goes on:

The U.S. is now working hard to turn the "UN Command" into a "multi-national coalition mechanism" and use it as a parent body of NATO of Asian version, pursuant to its new defense strategy.

Lurking behind Washington's move to revive the function of the "UN Command" is its strategic scenario to retain a firm grip on south Korea as an outpost for dominating the Asia-Pacific region under the changed situation.

The United Nations today is no longer what used to be in the 1950s when the U.S. could cook up the "UN Command" as it pleased. Independence has now become a main tendency and an irresistible trend of the present times.

There is the flag of the UN in Panmunjom even now. This is shame on the UN as it is an anachronistic product.

The "UN Command" should be dismantled at once in order to regain the UN authority and impartiality.

The "UN Command" is still preserved and is about to be revived as a war machine for multi-national forces. This is the matter which should not be overlooked for the purpose of ensuring security in the Asia-Pacific region including the Korean Peninsula.

The U.S. should lend an ear to the just voices of the international community and dismantle the "UN Command" without delay.
