Ju Yong Chol, a counselor at North Korea’s mission to the UN in Geneva, told the UN-backed Conference on Disarmament that there is no reason for Pyongyang to be unilaterally bound by the commitment that the other party has failed to honor.
Ju accused the US of placing brutal and inhuman sanctions on North Korea and warned that if the US persists in its hostile policy towards Pyongyang there will never be a denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.
He said if the US tries to enforce unilateral demands and persists in imposing sanctions, North Korea may seek a new path.
