Minju Joson Blasts U.S. Hypocritical Stand on Anti-Personnel Mines

Pyongyang, October 6 (KCNA) -- Recently the U.S. clarified its stand to stop the production, storage, use and transfer of anti-personnel mines worldwide as required by the basic provisions of the Convention on Banning the Use of Anti-Personnel Mines called "Ottawa Treaty."

However, the U.S. makes the Korean Peninsula an exception as far as its action is concerned.

Commenting on this, Minju Joson Monday says that lurking behind this stand of the U.S. is its sinister scenario to label the DPRK an arch criminal harassing the peace and stability on the peninsula and, at the same time, use it as a bridgehead for carrying out its strategy for world domination by stifling the DPRK by force of arms and putting the peninsula under its permanent control.

After saying yes to the above-said convention which took Washington so long time to do so, it is now busy creating impression that it is concerned for the world peace and security. This gesture, however, can hardly help hide its true colors as a hypocrite.

If the U.S. is truly concerned for international detente and the world peace and security, it should pull all its war forces out of south Korea, to begin with, and take a measure to totally ban the use of the above-said weapons.
