| North Korea has written letters to the United Nations calling for a human rights investigation into Japan's treatment of Koreans resident in Japan, the official Korean Central News Agency reported Sunday. "The DPRK permanent representative at the United Nations sent letters to the U.N. secretary general and the president of the U.N. General Assembly on July 6 as regards the Japanese authorities' evermore pronounced suppression of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon)," KCNA said. "He, in the letters, cited facts to disclose the Japanese security authorities' suppression of the Koreans in Japan," the report said. Noting the recent decision of a court in Japan to call for the auctioning off of Chongryon's headquarters in Japan, the ambassador charged the move was "aimed to physically destroy the center of the activities of Chongryon, champion of the democratic national rights of the Koreans in Japan, and stamp out the activities of Chongryon and the Koreans in Japan." "It is a wicked act of infringing upon the sovereignty of the DPRK, which no preceding regimes of Japan dared to do so." "For these crimes Japan has become an object of concern among the U.N. human rights organizations," the letter continued. "Japan is whitewashing the crimes committed by it in the past, far from admitting its invasion of Korea and other Asian countries and massacre of tens of millions of innocent civilians, and is now covetous of the permanent membership of the U.N. Security Council. The DPRK, therefore, cannot remain an onlooker to these inhuman acts of Japan," the letter said. In conclusion, the ambassador asked the U.N. officials to "include the item 'Contemporary form of ethnic cleansing' in the agenda of the 61st session of the U.N. General Assembly and distribute this letter as an official document of the U.N. General Assembly and the UNSC for the purpose of sounding a note of warning against the national chauvinism including Japan's suppression of the Koreans in Japan." |
