DPRK media blast U.S. for finding fault with human rights

PYONGYANG, Nov. 4 -- An attempt by the United States and other "hostile forces" to submit the human rights issue of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to the United Nations General Assembly was an "unsavory plot," the official KCNA news said Wednesday.

The U.S. and other countries involved have been shown to be politicizing the human rights issue and applying double standards in handling them, the KCNA said.

The DPRK will not cave in to their "human rights offensive," it said.

The official Minju Joson daily also carried a similar article against the U.S. criticism.

It was reported that the United States, Japan, South Korea and the European Union have submitted an act on DPRK's human rights to the UN General Assembly for discussion.
