U.S. Should Be Sternly Judged as Heinous War Criminal State, Human Rights Abuser: Spokesman for DPRK FM
Pyongyang, July 13 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPR of Korea gave the following answer to the question put by KCNA on Wednesday as regards the announcement of an official report in UK on unreasonable Iraqi war:

At the end of its seven-year survey, the committee for the probe into the truth about the Iraqi war, organized by the UK government in 2009, announced a report concluding that the Iraqi war ignited by the U.S. in 2003 was illegal and unreasonable.

The report noted that the U.S. allegation about Iraq's "production of biochemical weapons" and the "threat of its WMDs", a direct motive of the war, was totally groundless and the Iraqi war was launched despite the opposition of the most member nations of the UN Security Council.

As the UK officially admitted the illegality of the Iraqi war which was unleashed by the U.S. fabrication called "threat of WMDs", it was proved once again that the U.S. is, indeed, the root cause of state terrorism, human rights violations and all misfortune in the world.

The U.S. can never evade the blame for the massacre of many innocent Iraqi civilians, chaos in Iraq and the international security threats such as Islamic extremism, terrorism and refugee crisis in the Mideast region.

The U.S. should be sternly judged by mankind as a heinous war criminal state and human rights abuser as it unhesitatingly hatched mean plots and perpetrated war of aggression in a bid to realize its ambition for domination.

Nevertheless, the U.S., styling itself an "international judge", is more undisguisedly committing interference in internal affairs of other countries and encroachment upon their sovereignty like a thief crying "stop thief!"

Recently, the U.S. dared take issue with the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK while talking about the "human rights issue", not content with resorting to the moves against it. This is the worst crime which can never be pardoned.

All facts clearly prove that the only way of defending the sovereignty of the country and nation is to bolster up one's own strength and how just the DPRK was when it decided to have the strongest military muscle for self-defense as now.

We will in the future, too, bolster up the war deterrent with the nuclear force as a pivot as firm as a rock and thus resolutely shatter the unheard-of vicious hostile acts and new war moves of the U.S. against the DPRK and firmly defend peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in the region.
