Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) ambassador Song Kim told the General Assembly that some UN member states are “instigating confrontation between camps and bloc-forming in pursuance of hegemony and self-profits”, adding that “because of their prejudiced behavior, conflict and bloodshed among nations, forces, ethnics and religious sects are continuing unabated in the international arena.”

Addressing the General Assembly today (26 Sep), Song Kim said, “For the Korean people aspiring to a perfect and substantial attainment of the grand objectives for overall national prosperity, it is the first and foremost requirement for them today to defend security environment and development interest of the state.”

He noted, “However, the high-handed and arbitrary practices of some UN member states have created unhappy situation on the Korea peninsula this year that runs counter to the theme of the current session oriented towards “peace, prosperity and progress for all”.”

Kim stated, “owing to the reckless and continued hysteria of nuclear showdown on the part of the US and its following forces, the year 2023 has been recorded as an extremely dangerous year that the military security situation in and around the Korean peninsula was driven closer to the brink of a nuclear war.”

According to the Permanent Representative, “now the U.S. is arbitrarily judging other countries by its unilateral hegemonic values. And it is imposing inter-camp confrontation upon them, creating deep division and conflict among states.”

He added, “as the U.S. is seeking politico-military collusion on an unprecedented scale for alleged cementing alliance and reviving and expanding worldwide such aggressive military bloc as NATO whose days are numbered, the world is now faced with the worst security crisis after the WWII.”

The ambassador also said, “it was only a month ago when the UNSC disgracefully convened meetings to debate as separate agenda items the legitimate right to a satellite launch and ‘human rights issue’ of the DPRK, a full-fledged UN member state.”

He concluded, “It is nothing more than an insult to the spirit of the UN Charter and deliberate negligence of its mission that the UNSC put on the table the just and independent right of a sovereign state and groundlessly took issue with human rights situation of an individual country.”

The UN General Assembly (UNGA) is the main policy-making organ of the Organization. Comprising all Member States, it provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of the full spectrum of international issues covered by the Charter of the United Nations. Each of the 193 Member States of the United Nations has an equal vote.

The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945. Currently made up of 193 Member States, the UN and its work are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter.

The UN has evolved over the years to keep pace with a rapidly changing world.

But one thing has stayed the same: it remains the one place on Earth where all the world’s nations can gather together, discuss common problems, and find shared solutions that benefit all of humanity.
