North Korea Warns U.N. They Won’t Accept ‘Double Standard’

North Korea has accused the United Nations Security Council of unfair standards over its defense systems tests.

North Korea warned that it would not accept what it considers a “double standard” by the United Nations Security Council in a fiery statement on Sunday. North Korea’s director of the Dept. of International Organizations said the council was using “open ignorance of and wanton encroachment” on its sovereignty, which it considers a “serious intolerable provocation.” The Security Council on Friday met over North Korea’s recent missile testing, which it condemned. On Saturday Pyongyang tested a newly developed anti-aircraft missile following the unveiling of their top-secret hypersonic missile with potential nuclear capabilities on Friday. “This is a denial of impartiality, objectivity and equilibrium, lifelines of the U.N. activities, and an evident manifestation of double-dealing standard,” Jo said in a statement according to North Korea’s state KCNA news agency, adding that North Korea was considering retaliation if the council continues to breach its sovereignty “with the double-dealing stick” and lean on “the U.S.-style brigandish way of thinking and judgment.”
