NORTH Korea has strongly condemned the United States for passing its own sanctions against the hermit state claiming they are a “wild violation of sovereignty under the international law” as tensions rise on the Korean Peninsula.

The Trump administration has issued fresh sanctions as it attempts to stifle North Korea’s nuclear and missile programme and prevent a nuclear war.
Washington has imposed sanctions on 16 individuals and six North Korea vessels for their alleged links to the state’s nuclear and missile programmes.
Among the entities to suffer are two China-based trading firms which the Treasury says exported metals and other materials required for the state’s weapon programme.
A spokesperson from North Korea’s foreign ministry said in a report: “The so-called unilateral sanctions the United States has taken under its own sanctions laws are a clear and wild violation of sovereignty under the international law that says a sovereign state can never be subject to the judicial power of another country under any circumstance and a serious provocation.”
The individuals included in the sanctions are members of North Korea’s Workers Party operating in China, Russia and Georgia’s breakaway Abkhazia region.
Among them were North Korea’s vice consul in Nakhodka, Russia and an individual reportedly involved in sending North Korean labourers to Abkhazia.
The official also said the US should stop with its “foolish” way of thinking and “give up its anachronistic hostile policy” towards North Korea.
