Rodong Sinmun Calls for Actions against U.S. High-handed Practices
Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- The progressive countries of the world should resolutely oppose and reject the U.S. brigandish logic and high-handed practices in order to develop the fair international relations, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a bylined article.

It goes on:

The U.S. warlike forces have persisted in arbitrary and high-handed practices, asserting that what they do is in line with international law and everything done by those countries courting their displeasure is a breach of international law.

The U.S. defies international law, contending that it is above the U.N. It is perpetrating a war for aggression, violating the sovereignty of other countries.

It is free to cook up illegal international law.

This is evidenced by the fact that it attempted to fabricate "a convention on state responsibility" as a legal lever for justifying interference in the internal affairs of any sovereign country and the use of force against it under the pretext of "violation of international law" in recent years and cooked up the PSI aimed at naval blockade against anti-imperialist, independent countries under the pretext of "preventing the spread of WMDs," etc. and worked hard to upgrade it as an international legal system.

The U.S. deployed more than 1 000 nuclear weapons in south Korea contrary to NPT, turning it into the biggest nuclear outpost and the most dangerous source of a nuclear war in the Far East.

It is also staging ceaseless drills of various forms for a nuclear war in south Korea and its vicinity, escalating the nuclear threat to the DPRK.

It is applying double standards, classifying international treaties into those essential and unnecessary for it. Moreover, it ignores the treaties. It was none other than the U.S. which unilaterally scrapped the interceptor missile limitation treaty.

The U.S. contends that it has an "international legal standard" to judge right or wrong, it is allowed to do everything and other countries should unconditionally obey its intention. This U.S.-style brigandish logic is no longer workable.
