The permanent representative of the DPRK to the UN Friday sent a letter to the president of the UNSC in denunciation of another large-scale naval joint military exercises staged by the U.S. on the Korean peninsula in its attempt to launch a preemptive nuclear strike against the DPRK.

The joint military exercises conducted by the U.S. one after another all the year round on the Korean peninsula are clearly aggressive war exercises in their nature and scale, the letter said.

Involved in the naval exercises are the strike forces of the nuclear aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan, three nuclear submarines including the Michigan, Aegis destroyers and more than 40 other battleships and fighters of all kinds.

The naval rehearsal has further strained the tension on the Korean peninsula as it was launched after the U.S. chief executive made the most ferocious declaration of war in history by crying out for "totally destruction" of the DPRK, it pointed out, and went on:

What cannot be overlooked is the fact that the U.S., not being contented with the joint military exercises on the Korean peninsula, is kicking up the racket of military pressure upon the DPRK on a world-wide scale while getting more undisguised in its attempt to introduce NATO and other armed forces of its followers into the peninsula in case of emergency.

The large-scale joint military exercises, started by the U.S. against the DPRK in the Cold War era, are staged several times every year with mobilization of more nuclear strategic assets on a larger scale of the more aggressive nature after the Cold War era. As such, they constitute clear threat to international peace and security.

Proceeding there from, the DPRK, in accordance with Article 34 and Article 35 of the UN Charter, requests the UN Security Council to bring up the U.S. joint military exercises as its urgent agenda item for discussion.

No other country in the world than the DPRK has ever been subjected to such an extreme and direct nuclear threat from the U.S. for such a long time and witnessed on its door such nuclear war exercises which are the most vicious and ferocious in their scale, style, aim and essence.

The UN Security Council, in conformity with its mandate, should accept our request for ensuring peace and security of the Korean peninsula, and thus eliminate the root cause of aggravated tension and war on the Korean peninsula and make practical contribution to promoting international peace and security.

Should the UNSC ignore again the DPRK's just and aboveboard request, it will reveal by itself more clearly that the Security Council has now become a political tool of an individual power by giving up its mission and turning its back on the trust of the international community.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson of the Sanctions Damage Investigation Committee of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Friday condemned the manoeuvres of the U.S. and its followers to sanction and stifle the DPRK.

It said that they turned away even the articles of the UN Security Council "resolutions" which stipulated that the sanctions should not give negative impact on the humanitarian assistances of the UN agencies which are influenced by the sanctions, although they are conducted in a more transparent way.

It continued:

The United States and its followers cut off the normal economic and trade activities of the DPRK in all-round way and resort to the unprecedented sanctions and stifling acts in their attempt to obliterate even the basic right to existence. They go even further to take issue with the assistances of the UN agencies which are conducted without any snag and impede their implementation in every way possible.

Unlike in other countries, the assistances of all the UN agencies in the DPRK including UNDP, UNICEF and UNFPA are taking place under the strict supervision of the sanctions committee of the UNSC.

As a result, the banking channel of the UN agencies is suspended, delivery of aid goods is delayed and even the ordinary daily consumer goods are restricted under the pretext of dual use, thus creating tremendous obstacles in the protection of the rights and existence of the children and women and causing damage to the people's livelihood, nothing to say of the civilian economy.

Unable to resist strong backlash within and without, they claim to have allowed the transfer service of fund for UN agencies resident in the DPRK. However, due to the absence of practical measures, the transfer service is suspended and the assistances are not progressing.

The delivery of Mobile Digital X-ray equipment and reagents for diagnosis of Tuberclosis, insecticides for Malaria vector control and Emergency Reproductive Health Kits procured and provided by the UN agencies including UNICEF and UNFPA for protection and promotion of the health of children and women have been delayed for several months under the unjustifiable pretext of various reasons in the countries of sale and transit this year. The Gene Xpert Cartridge for diagnosis of Multi-Drugs Resistant tuberculosis patients have not been delivered at all since 2017.

This is a clear act of human rights violation that denies and infringes upon the right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being including clothing, food, housing, medical care and necessary social services stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Thus, it is obvious that the aim of the sanction is to overthrow the system of the DPRK by isolating and stifling it and intentionally bring about humanitarian disaster, instead of "preventing weapons development" as claimed by the U.S. and its followers.

The more unprecedentedly harshest sanctions and strongest pressure the U.S. and its followers impose on the DPRK, the higher the banners of independence, simultaneous development and self-reliance it will uphold, and thus settle the damage to the end incurred by the sanction, decisively frustrating the reckless nuclear war moves and the despicable plot of sanctions and pressure of the enemies.
