Pyongyang Rebukes US Report on Human Rights Record

Pyongyang rebuked Thursday Washington's recent report on its human rights record, saying it is imprudent for the United States to consider itself "a judge of human rights" and make irresponsible remarks about human rights practices of other countries.

The U.S. State Department absurdly attacked the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) while criticizing over 100 other countries in its "Country-by-Country Report on Overseas Human Rights Practices" published on February 26, a DPRK Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

The human rights standards in the DPRK are precisely what its people like and require and what in their interests, he said, adding that the dignity, status and rights of them as masters of the state and society are legally guaranteed.

So the DPRK people need nobody to "recognize" them and feel it unnecessary to read others' face as far as the human rights issue is concerned.

He stressed that human rights standards and practices vary in countries with tradition, nationality, culture and history of social development, and any country trying to impose its own standards on others will cause more troubles in international relations and undermine the neighborliness between countries.

The spokesman advised the U.S., itself with poor human rights record, to drop its arrogant practices of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.
