Japan Urged to Settle Its Past Crimes

   Pyongyang, March 2 (KCNA) -- The DPRK will certainly call Japan to task not only for the crimes it committed against the Korean nation in the past but its politically-motivated suppression of Korean nationals in Japan and losses caused to them by it and wrest an apology and compensation for them, said the DPRK Measure Committee for Demanding Compensation to "Comfort Women" for the Japanese Army and the Victims of Forcible Drafting in a statement Thursday 88 years since the March First Popular Uprising. Vehemently denouncing the Japanese reactionaries for persistently pursuing anachronistic militarist moves, far from trying to redeem its inglorious past crimes, the statement continued:
    Japan should drop its wrong attitude and stand toward the issue of settling its past crimes and opt for redressing them as early as possible on the basis of the justice of international law and from the ethical and moral point of view.
    Japan should drop its militarist ambition and stop at once its foolish distortion of history and militarist moves and opt for building genuine confidence with the people in Asia and other parts of the world. The statement urged Japan to stop politically-motivated suppression of Koreans in Japan and discrimination against them and promptly take a measure to guarantee them their dignity and rights.


Japan's Ambition for Overseas Aggression under Fire

   Pyongyang, March 2 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries who have long dreamed of overseas aggression enacted the "law on dispatching troops overseas" under the pretext of "cooperation in UN peace-keeping activities" in the 1990s to dispatch "Self-Defence Forces"(SDF) to different countries and regions in Asia, Mideast and Africa. Right after the U.S. ignited the Afghan and Iraqi wars under the signboard of "anti-terrorism", they paved the way for SDF's overseas operation under the signboard of "providing logistic support" to the U.S. troops. Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    Japan has thus emerged a dangerous aggression force before the international community.
    It is set to escalate the SDF's overseas dispatch under the cloak of the UN.
    Japan has been crafty in abusing the name of the UN for the purpose of realizing its ambition for overseas aggression. It escalated the SDF's overseas dispatch under the pretext of "cooperation in UN peace-keeping activities" whenever the UN took measures for ensuring regional peace. This lays bare the crafty and militaristic nature peculiar to Japan.
    It has zealously pushed forward the moves to legalize the SDF's overseas military activities.
    In January the Japanese reactionaries upgraded the Defence Agency to the Ministry of Defence.
    Militaristic hysteria is running high in Japan and it has become evermore undisguised in its moves to retrogressively revise the "pacifist constitution."
    The aim sought by Japan through these moves is to replace the "pacifist constitution" by a war constitution in a bid to round off the wartime system and provide a legal guarantee for its policy of military overseas expansion.
    The Japanese reactionaries have a sinister plot to retrogressively rewrite Article 9, the core of the constitution.
    They are getting more frantic in their moves to turn Japan into a military giant by tightening its military nexus with the U.S., keeping pace with their stepped-up moves for the retrogressive constitutional revision.
    Not content with this, they are set to drastically reorganize the SDF.
    They had better face up to the reality and stop running riot.

Unwarranted Action Taken by Tokyo Metropolitan Authorities under Fire

   Pyongyang, March 2 (KCNA) -- Ko Tok U, vice-chairman and director in charge of compatriots' life of the Central Standing Committee of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon), called a press conference in Tokyo on Feb. 28 at which he made public a statement in denunciation of the unwarranted action taken by the Tokyo Metropolitan authorities to block a "meeting of Koreans in Japan to commemorate the March First Popular Uprising."
    The statement termed the above-said action an absolutely unreasonable act of trampling the basic human rights and democratic rights of Chongryon and the Koreans in Japan.

    Tokyo Metropolis should withdraw its unjust action for itself and respect the legitimate rights of Koreans in Japan. And the Japanese government authorities should stop the political suppression of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan at once.

Anti-Epizootic Vaccine Developed

   Pyongyang, March 2 (KCNA) --The Veterinary Medicine Institute under the Academy of Agricultural Science has developed an efficient vaccine against swine epizootic disease. It is particularly effective against coli bacillus-caused toxemia.

    It has been known that there is no medicine for the disease but preventive measure.
    The scientists of the institute have perfected the vaccine developed over 10 years ago, while the research into the epizootic disease is being deepened in the world.
    It has been proved that the vaccine is harmless and can prevent piglets completely from dying of coli bacillus-caused disease.

    They termed the Japanese authorities' persecution against Koreans in Japan and frantic crackdown on them as part of the "sanctions" against the DPRK national discrimination, a human rights abuse.
    They stressed that they would let many more students and citizens know about the injustice of the Japanese authorities' policy of national discrimination with Japanese universities as a base.
    They conducted street information service, scattering leaflets critical of the Japanese authorities' abuses of human rights.


S. Korean Organization's Action Program Advanced

   Pyongyang, March 2 (KCNA) -- The Reunification Solidarity of south Korea reportedly held a conference on Feb. 22 at which it advanced an action program for this year. It stressed the need to bring about a signal turn in bringing peace to the Korean Peninsula this year.
    To this end, it will stage dynamic actions to check and frustrate the expansion of the U.S. military base in Phyongthaek and moves for a war on the peninsula and wage a widespread campaign for forcing the U.S. forces to quit south Korea and, at the same time, conduct positive activities in protest against the Japanese authorities' suppression of Koreans in Japan, the organization noted.
    It underscored the need to stage a powerful struggle for independent reunification in solidarity with other organizations.

    It could have successfully led the movement for reunification as it has considered the Juche character and national identity as its mental pillar and accepted the three principles for national reunification, the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo and the ten-point programme for great national unity as a grand blueprint for building a reunified country, the statement said.
    It called on reunification movement organizations comprising people of all standings to boost solidarity and alliance under the slogan "Add brilliance to the June 15 era of reunification by attaching importance to the nation, maintaining peace and achieving unity!"

Accusing the security authorities of walking away the former spokesman for Hanchongryon on his way home after participating in a rally for the repeal of the NSL on Feb. 24, the statement termed it anachronistic suppression.
    The statement lashed at the authorities for assaulting members of the Democratic Labor Party and students and arresting them on charge of violation of the "law on assembly and demonstration" for the mere reason that they staged an action in demand of the release of him.
    Noting that now is the June 15 era of reunification, the statement demanded the abolition of the NSL, an evil law going against the times and the desire for reunification.

Rodong Sinmun condena la ambicion de agresion de Japon a otros paises

   Pyongyang, 2 de marzo (ATCC) -- En la decada de 1990 los reaccionarios japoneses, que desde hace mucho tiempo venia acariciando el sueno de agresion a otros paises, fraguaron la "ley de envio de efectivos a ultramar" y mandaron a sus uniformados de las "fuerzas de autodefensa" a varios paises y regiones de Asia, el Medio Oriente y Africa bajo el rotulo de "colaboracion con las actividades de la ONU para el mantenimiento de la paz". En particular, al ver que EE.UU. desato las guerras en Afganistan e Irak bajo el pretexto del "antiterrorismo" abrieron el camino de la operacion ultramarina de las "fuerzas de autodefensa" so pretexto del "apoyo de logistica" a las tropas norteamericanas.
    El pais isleno puso a flote su fisonomia de las peligrosas fuerzas agresivas a la faz de la sociedad internacional.
    Asi senala el periodico Rodong Sinmun en un articulo individual del dia 2 y continua:
    Hoy, Japon trata de ampliar mas el envio de las "fuerzas de autodefensa" a ultramar con el rotulo de la ONU revelando su idiosincrasia militarista.
    El pais isleno impulsa activamente la legalizacion de las actividades militares en ultramar de las "fuerzas de autodefensa".
    En enero de este ano los reaccionarios japoneses ascendieron el rango de la Agencia de Defensa al Ministerio.
    Ahora, en el archipielago japones sopla mas furiosamente que nunca el viento militarista y se da mas acicate a la modificacion draconiana de la "Constitucion de Paz".
    Los reaccionarios japoneses tratan de sustituirla para completar el sistema del tiempo de guerra y justificar la politica de expansion militar a ultramar.
    Abrigan el designio de enmendar en peor el articulo medular 9 de la "Constitucion de Paz".
    A paralelo con esto, se tornan mas graves las maniobras para la conversion de su pais en una potencia militar mediante el fortalecimiento de la alianza militar con EE.UU.
    Al mismo tiempo pretenden reorganizar en gran medida las "fuerzas de autodefensa".
    Ellos deben ver correctamente la realidad y actuar con prudencia.
