Women Are Free in the DPRK!

DPRK: Korea Association for Human Rights Studies – Issues White Paper Condemning US! (21.1.2024)

In addition, the world human rights conference held in Vienna of Austria in June 1993 adopted the “Vienna declaration and action program” to reaffirm trust in the rights of human being stipulated by the above-mentioned declaration and apply them to practice.

However, swimming against such efforts by the international community, some countries and regions of the world are still denying the World Declaration of Human Rights and publicly committing practices running counter to it.

The dignity and rights of human being mentioned by the declaration are now ruthlessly being violated in the U.S. and other Western countries where all sorts of social evils such as gun-related crimes, racial discrimination, violent actions by police and maltreatment of women and children are rampant, the white paper said, citing data to prove such facts.

The human rights situation in EU countries is little short of that in the U.S., the white paper said, and went on:

The criminal moves of the U.S. and the West to block the international protection and promotion of human rights, contrary to the World Declaration of Human Rights, are also being brought to light in the fact that they have reduced the UN human rights arena, a theatre of dialogue and cooperation for settling the human rights issues, into a theatre of confrontation for attaining their sinister political purpose.

DPRK White Paper: US & EU “Weaponise” [and Distort] Human Rights! (16.12.2023)

The most important lesson, taught by the present reality in which the noble spirit and purpose of the World Declaration of Human Rights have not been realized yet, is that genuine human rights can be guaranteed and realized only when the sovereignty is thoroughly defended.

Human rights, not guaranteed by the sovereignty of a state, are nothing but a castle on the sand, and if the national power is weak and the sovereignty is not defended, it is impossible to guarantee elementary rights to life and existence, to say nothing of individuals’ dignity and rights to development.

The most serious challenge threatening the existence and development of mankind at present is the unethical crimes of the U.S. and its followers that unhesitatingly invade sovereign states and massacre innocent inhabitants in order to maintain their hegemony and realize their interests.
