"Trafficking in Persons Report" of United States under Fire

"Trafficking in Persons Report" of United

States under Fire

Pyongyang, October 2 (KCNA) — Ri Jin, researcher of the Korea Association
for Human Rights Studies, Thursday issued the following article titled
"'Trafficking in Persons Report' highlights only the incurable maladies of the
United States":
Recently, the U.S. Department of State released again a "report" that willfully
assesses and classifies the practices of "human trafficking" in the DPRK and
all other countries of the world.
The "report", as in the past, repeated its slander against the sovereign states,
citing the data of "human trafficking" in other countries and labeling them as
"model states" or "backward states" after grading the countries in order of the
governmental efforts for eradicating "human trafficking" and their results.
Last year we had already branded the annual "Trafficking in Persons Report"
of the U.S. which was run through with the obsolete fabricated data as a
diagnosis of mental derangement of the U.S. addicted to the politicization of
human rights.
The U.S. still tries to style itself a "human rights judge" though it is breaking
the world's worst human rights record every year. It is stunning the public.
It is illogical that the U.S., where horrible shooting incidents occur at schools,
churches and shops almost every day and tens of thousands of people are
being taken to prisons due to the policy of expelling immigrants, assesses the
situation of human rights in the world.
This is not the only thing.
It is, indeed, a tragicomedy that the U.S. government made a "judgment" upon
the world situation of "human trafficking" at a time when the whole world is
astonished at a U.S. millionaire's hideous underage sex trafficking.
The reality clearly proves that the U.S. "Trafficking in Persons Report" is
nothing but a means for veiling its records of human rights violation and
politicizing human rights to justify the pressure on different countries and
interference in their internal affairs, and has nothing to do with the substantial
efforts to eradicate human trafficking.

It is by no means fortuitous that not only the anti-U.S. and independent
countries but also the "countries sharing their mind" with the U.S. are openly
criticizing the U.S for its deceitful and contradictory gibberish about "human
rights".
Today when the world aspires after multi-polarization, the DPRK and many
other countries are directing efforts to promoting human rights conforming to
their own history, culture and socio-economic environment.
The U.S. is well advised to clearly understand the reality and realize that the
old-fashioned and inefficient behavior of a "human rights judge" is no longer
appropriate, and it moves to internationalize and politicize the "human rights"
issues of other countries would only result in self-harming consequences of
bringing its miserable human rights situation to a focus.
We will in the future, too, not lend an ear to the U.S. deceptive "human rights"
rhetoric but do our best to defend the most advantageous socialist system of
our own style and the genuine rights and interests of the people. -0-
