GENEVA: North Korea struck back on the United States on Wednesday, accusing the Trump administration of being a billionaires' club that harbours a "policy of racism" while denying freedom of the click and well being protection to citizens.
The "White Paper on Human Rights Violations in the US in 2017", used to be issued through the Institute of International Studies within the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and circulated through its diplomatic mission in Geneva.
It didn't seek advice from the row between North Korea and the United States and its allies over Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programmes, or to the international sanctions imposed against it.
US President Donald Trump, in his first State of Union speech to Congress on Tuesday, branded North Korea's management "depraved". He told Americans that its pursuit of nuclear missiles could "very soon threaten our homeland" and vowed a continued marketing campaign to stop that.
"Racial discrimination and misanthropy are serious maladies inherent to the social system of the US, and they have been aggravated since Trump took office," the North Korean paper mentioned.
"The racial violence that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12 is a typical example of the acme of the current administration's policy of racism," it mentioned.
Trump, who took place of job a 12 months ago, had filled his cupboard with billionaires, it mentioned, mentioning US secretary of state Rex Tillerson, secretary of trade Wilbur Ross, treasury secretary Steven Mnunchin and secretary of defence James Mattis.
"The total assets of public servants at the level of deputy secretary and above of the current administration are worth $14 billion," the paper mentioned.
North Korea's paper mentioned that genuine freedom of the click and of expression didn't exist within the United States and that crackdowns against the media had intensified previously 12 months.
More people have joined the ranks of the unemployed and the homeless, it mentioned.
The United State is one in all few international locations that experience failed to offer paid maternity go away, and many sick citizens can not manage to pay for to pay their clinical charges, it added.
The paper, issued weeks ahead of the primary annual consultation of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, mentioned:
"The US, 'guardian of democracy' and 'human rights champion', is kicking up the human rights racket but it can never camouflage its true identity as the gross violator of human rights."
