“The UNSC [U.N. Security Council] ... put on the table the issue pertaining to the DPRK's exercise of sovereignty. This means an open ignorance of and wanton encroachment on the sovereignty of the DPRK and a serious intolerable provocation against it. This is a denial of impartiality, objectivity and equilibrium, lifelines of the UN activities, and an evident manifestation of double-dealing standard. North Korea has never acknowledged the partial and illegal U.N. 'resolution' that seriously encroaches upon the right to existence and development of sovereign states. I express strong concerns over the fact that the UNSC amused itself with the dangerous 'time-bomb' this time. The weapons tests have never posed any threats or harm to the security of the neighboring countries.”
