The International Alliance of Societies for the Study of the Juche Idea and Songun Policy in East European and Central Asian Regions said this in a statement on Mar. 20.

The DPRK's nuclear deterrence provides a basic guarantee for beating back any aggression by foreign forces, the statement said, and went on:

The U.S. has no right to demand the DPRK dismantle its nuclear weapons as the former is the arch criminal that compelled the latter to have access to them through constant nuclear threats.

It is shameless for the U.S. to attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the DPRK under the signboard of "human rights".

The U.S. should stop at once all acts of wantonly violating and gravely threatening the vital rights of the Korean people through pressure, sanctions, etc.
