North Korea proposes (One country, two system) A reunification

NEW YORK - North Korea said reunification with the South is its main goal, and proposed an arrangement of "one country, two systems," the United Nations General Assembly heard on Saturday.

Foreign Minister Ri Su Yong called reunification the "biggest desire of the whole nation."

"We are of the opinion that national reunification should not be done through confrontation, but rather through a confederation of two systems within one country," he said.

Ri also accused the UN's top body of "showcasing the extreme manifestation of the double standard" on human rights.

"The Security Council should no longer serve as a forum for telling lies," he said, criticizing it for ignoring civilian deaths in Gaza from Israeli attacks while punishing Syria over the conflict on its territory.

Ri insisted that North Korea was open to cooperate on human rights with international organisations and countries that are not hostile to Pyongyang.

But he rejected any attempts to use the human rights issue as a tool for "regime change."

"Abusing the human rights issues for political purpose is in itself the biggest human right violation," Ri said, in the first address by a North Korean official to the General Assembly in 15 years.

The foreign minister also insisted that "hostile policy" of the United States had led to Pyongyang's decision to develop nuclear weapons.

"The nuclear deterrent of the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) is not intended to threaten or attack others," Ri said.

"Neither is it a bargaining chip to be exchanged for something else."

North Korea tells UN it's ready to discuss human rights

UNITED NATIONS — North Korea says it is willing to cooperate with the U.N. and other international organizations on human rights, but is bristling at what it views as politicization of the issue by its arch enemy, the United States.

In February, a U.N. commission of inquiry concluded there was evidence of crimes against humanity by North Korea's authoritarian government. Washington this week called on Pyongyang to shut its "evil system" of prison camps.

Foreign Minister Ri Su Yong did not directly address the findings of the commission, which Pyongyang has refused to cooperate with.

Ri accused the U.S. of "abusing" the human rights issue for political purposes.

He told the U.N. General Assembly on Saturday that North Korea is willing to cooperate on the issue with countries that aren't hostile to it.

This reminds me of the Gaza strip. Oh, how two different systems work so harmoniously and peacefully without bloodshed. I just love the irony.

It will work if the North would relinquish authoritarian rule which is next to impossibilty, for the nokor god out there Kim Jong-un will never allow. Water and oil will never mix the same as communism and democracy. The people in North korea should make a choice to improve their lives, now they are very much confined in what their leader wishes for them.
