North Korea accuses the UN of “double standards” after its latest missile test

North Korea on Monday accused the Security Council of United Nations (HIM-HER-IT) to apply “A double standard”On missile tests, after he called a meeting this week to address the latest launches from Pyongyang.

The North Korean Ministry of International Relations issued a statement critical of the agency’s decision to hold a closed-door meeting on Tuesday following its launch of two cut-off missiles last week, and accused it of violating the country’s sovereignty and doing use of a “Extreme bias.”

The meeting on Tuesday will come a few days after the UN committee that manages the sanctions imposed on North Korea met to consider new punitive measures.

Pyongyang claimed that its recent weapons test is close to “Exercise of the right to self-defense”And argued thate “doesn’t make any sense” that only their tests are grounds for complaint, “When many other countries around the world are firing all kinds of projectiles with the purpose of increasing their military strength”According to the statement published by the state news agency KCNA.

In the text, signed by the director general of the Department of International Organizations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jo Chol-su, the regime qualified the UN investigations “As a grave violation of the dignity of an independent state and its sovereignty and a senseless violation of the UN Charter.”

The North Korean official accused some members of the Security Council of “Abuse the United Nations in its search for ulterior motives to trample on the sovereignty of independent countries and control their development”, and threatened to retaliate for any attempt to undermine his right to self-defense.

North Korea’s complaint comes days after its most recent missile test, in which it launched two short-range guided ballistic projectiles and marked the first such test by the Asian country in about a year and the first since Joe Biden became president of the United States.

Pyongyang accused Biden of “provocation” for criticizing the test during his first press conferences after taking office, and warned of a potential new dialectical escalation and military trials on the Korean peninsula.
