U.S. Ignites Korean War by Abusing UN Name: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, June 27 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists kicked off the Korean War (June 25, 1950-July 27, 1953) by abusing the UN name, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a bylined article.

The article cited facts to prove that the U.S. imperialists stirred up public opinion to blame the DPRK for the ignition of the war and wound up all the preparations to refer it to the UN in a bid to hurl armed forces of its allies into the war.

The U.S. imperialists launched the Korean War according to their carefully worked-out scenario for a war against the DPRK, the article said, and went on:

Then to cover up truth they cooked up resolutions of the UN Security Council.

On June 25, two days before the adoption of the June 27, 1950 resolution, the U.S. let the 68th and 339th combat air corps and the 25th combat bomber corps of its Fifth Air Force in Japan fly 163 missions to battlefields of the Korean War. From the afternoon of June 26 they heavily bombed the northern half of Korea and the U.S. 7th Fleet started the military operation in the waters off Korea.

On July 7 the U.S. imperialists let the UK and France submit a resolution to the effect that the U.S. forces' military actions in the DPRK should be conducted under the UN flag which was aimed to put satellite countries under its control.

The resolution had no phrases as dispatching "UN forces" or setting up "UN command".

Nevertheless, the U.S. imperialists called the "allied forces command" "UN command" and their aggression forces "UN forces" in a bid to justify the UN resolution.

Next day, they let MacArthur, U.S. commander in Far East, hold a concurrent post as "UN forces commander".

The resolutions cooked up by the U.S. imperialists are a wanton violation of the UN Charter.

At that time, they intentionally excluded the delegate of the DPRK, the country concerned, and invited only the south Korean puppet delegate to the session in a bid to have the resolutions reflecting their demand adopted.

The U.S. maneuvered the UN Security Council into illegally adopting all the resolutions related to the Korean War without the participation of the former Soviet Union, a permanent member of the UNSC.

The present situation suggests that the U.S. may launch armed invasion under the UN flag, by taking advantage of the present international relations, just as it did during the last Korean War. The DPRK will remain unfazed although the U.S. abuses the UN name again, the paper stresses.
