Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (Human Rights)

I am grateful to you for calling me to speak, Mr. Benton. I wish to observe a normal dictum that I have learned during the cold war: the more the country protests its credentials in its title, the more likely it is to be tyrannical. I shall not therefore during the debate refer to the country in question as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, on the basis that that is an entirely inaccurate title, whereas North Korea sums up more accurately the reality of the position—at least because it is further north than South Korea.
