No Double Standards Cannot Be Allowed in Human Rights Issue: Minju Joson
Pyongyang, February 3 (KCNA) -- International human rights organizations and many countries of the world are expressing support and sympathy with the proposal of the DPRK on putting torture by CIA as an agenda item of the UN Human Rights Council due in March and forming an independent commission of inquiry, says Minju Joson Tuesday in a commentary.

This proves that though the U.S. is perpetrating high-handed and arbitrary practices in international arena, boasting of being a big country, it can never stamp out international justice and conscience of mankind, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The U.S. is styling itself a big power but is no more than a member of the international community.

If the U.S. has a question in the human rights sector, it should also be judged at the international human rights tribunal now that it has been fingered as the worst human rights abuser in the world.

World public is strongly demanding an immediate abolition of the Guantanamo concentration camp which puts the Oswiecim concentration camp of Hitler in the shade.

The torture and maltreatment of prisoners by CIA are a wanton violation and an extreme challenge to human rights and democracy.

Such a top-class criminal state has not yet been called into question by international law, another grave crime disturbing the impartiality of international order and fostering human rights abuses.

No double standards can be allowed in the human rights issue.

That is why the international community is taking a serious note of the torture by CIA and insisting on a stern punishment of those responsible.

The UN with a mission to protect, improve and promote human rights worldwide should take measures of calling into question the U.S., the kingpin of human rights abuses, and punish it, to begin with.
