jong-un. >> i now give the floor to his skensy reyoung hoe, minister of the peoples republic of korea. >> translator: mr. president, first of all, allow me to congratulations your excellency on your election as the president of the 72nd session of the united nation general assembly. i look forward to successful outcome of the present session under your able guidance. before going into the main points in my debate, i feel forced to make comments on the

speech uttered four days ago by someone called the u.s. president that rendered this sacred u.n. arena tainted. since trump uttered such reckless and violent words provoking the supreme dignity of the democratic peoples republic of korea at this very platform, i think it is very enough for me to make a response in the corresponding tone. during his eight months in power, he has turned the white house into a noisy marketing place full of crackling sounds of -- and now he has tried to turn the u.n. arena into a gangster's nest where money is respected and blood shed is the order of the day. the observed realty that the

person like trump, a mane tally deranged person full of contemplate sense, the person who is chastised even as american people as commander in brief, is holding the seat of the u.s. president and the dangerous reality that the gambler who grew old using threats, of land holds the nuclear button. these are what constitute the gravest threat to the international peace and security today. due to his lacking of basic common knowledge and proper sentiment, he try to insult the supreme dignity of my country by referring it to a rocket, by

doing so, however, he committed an irreversible mistake of making our rockets' visit to the entire u.s. mainland inevitable all the more. none other than trump himself is on a suicide mission. in case innocent lives of the u.s. are harmed because of this suicide attack, trump will be held totally responsible. the respected supreme leader of the dprk kim jong-un stated as a man representing the dprk and on behalf of the dignity and honor of my state and people and on my own, i will make the man holding the supreme command in the u.s. pay dearly.

trump might not have been aware what is uttered from his mouth but we will make sure that he bears consequences far behind his words, far beyond the scope of what he can handle even if he is ready to do so. mr. president, focusing on people, striving for peace and a decent life for all on a sustainable planet this is the scene of the -- for all countries and people to enjoy peace and a decent life it is imperative to realize genuine international justice before anything else. realizing international justice is one of the main missions of the united nations. mr. president, article 1 of the u.n. charter stipulates to bring about by peaceful means and in

confirmatory with the principals of justice and international law, adjustment or a settlement of international disputes which might lead to breach of the peace. due to high handedness and arbitrariness, at presence the purpose and principals of the u.n. charter and other established basic prison apples of international relations are now wontonly ignored in the u.n. arena. abnormal acts justifying and -- high handedness and arbitrariness and acts of violating truth and justice -- the most rampant violation of international justice can can be seen on the korean peninsula. unprecedented acts of injustice such as imposing harsh sanctions for the reason that the victim choose to stand up to the offender are openly committed in the name of the u.n.

the instance of the situation on the korean peninsula is a confrontation between the dprk and the u.s. where the former tries to defend its natural dignity and sovereignty against the hostile policy and nuclear threats. the united states is the country that first produced nuclear weapons and the only country that actually used it massacring hundreds and thousands of innocent civilians. it is the u.s. that threatened to use nuclear weapon against the dprk during the korean war in 1950s and first to introduce nuclear weapons into the korean peninsula after the war. the u.s. started large scale joint military exercises against the dprk during the cold war period and the further increased the scope and aggressive nature after the cold war staging the exercises several times a year

by mobilizing more nuclear strategic assets. what else could it be a bigger threat than the violent -- such as pouring fire and fury, total destruction, coming from the top authority of the world's biggest nuclear power? the very reason the dprk had to possess nuclear weapons is because of the u.s. and it had to strengthen and develop its nuclear first on the current level to cope with the u.s. the u.s. hostile policy and nuclear threats have continued over 70 years and these have led the situation on the korean peninsula to touch and go point, but in the united nations, unjustifiable resolutions which illegalize justice as injustice are randomly adopted due to the high handedness of the u.s.

the respected supreme leader kim jong-un, chairman of the state affairs commission of the dprk said, international justice is never achieved by itself. it can only be achieved when the independent countries are strong enough. unless true international justice is realized, the only valid philosophical principal is that force must be dealt with force and nuclear weapons apparently must be dealt with nuclear hammer of justice. the possession of nuclear deterrence by the dprk is a righteous, self-defensive measure taken as an ultimate option pursuant to this principal. recently, the dprk has successful conducted icbm mountable h bomb test as a part of the efforts to achieve the
