DPRK Delegate Calls for Reform of UNSC
Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- The DPRK delegate addressed an open seminar of the UNSC on ensuring global peace and security on Feb. 23.

He referred to the fact that the UN assigned the UNSC the primary responsibility for ensuring global peace and security but its activities have been quite contrary to the principles stipulated in the UN Charter.

He said that a specified permanent member state of the UNSC tries to act like the world MP through military alliance or mutual military alliance which has nothing to do with the UN or, on some occasions, by abusing the UNSC. This is the present reality, he noted, and went on:

Highhanded and arbitrary practices by a specified permanent member state at the UNSC find their most vivid manifestation in the situation prevailing on the Korean peninsula.

Discussion on the Korean issue at the UNSC is not oriented to ensuring peace and security on the Korean peninsula but serves the U.S. strategic goal to violate the sovereignty and vital rights of the DPRK.

It is the policy of the U.S. administration to stamp out the idea, social system and sovereignty of the DPRK by tapping all leverages such as "nukes", "human rights", "cyber attack" and "freedom of expression."

The UNSC should be prevented from being reduced to the tool of the highhanded and arbitrary practices.

So, it is necessary to promptly reform the UNSC in all aspects.

The U.S. should drop unilateral hostile policy toward the UN member nations and sovereign states at once and stop abusing the UNSC for attaining its unreasonable purposes.

If the UNSC is to show it is sincere and serious in its stand and attitude to the issue of global peace and security, it has to take up for discussion issues such as U.S. war exercises aimed to bring down sovereign states and harsh torture by the CIA targeting the whole world.
