Latest: Escalation in North Korea who have Expelled UN Inspectors to Restart all Nuclear Plant Activity
Worrying Escalation in North Korea Who Have Expelled UN Watchdogs to Restart all Nuclear activity
North Korea has kicked out all UN Watchdogs and inspectors and said that they intend to restart activity at all their nuclear plants.
This latest action is in direct defiance to the reaction that the country received when they launched a long range rocket on April the 5th this year.
In 2006, North Korea did an underground nuclear testing resulting in a ban from the country performing any more missile testing.
North Korea retaliated, insisting that the rocket which was launched in April was simply a satellite communication rocket.
The Security Council condemned North Korea’s reclusive regime with very little sightings of their leader.
The Japanese ambassador, Yukio Takasu, feels his country is the most threatened by the rocket launch and he said that his government was “very pleased” at the message.
The message that was sent to Korea was composed by all 15 members of the Security Council and read out by Mexico’s UN ambassador Claude Heller.
It stated that the rocked launch was a “very provocative act” and violated the 2006 resolution and further banned North Korea from making further launches.
The presidential statement was not as bold as the UN’s in which the United States and Japan were in harmony with, but China and Russia were opposing.
South Korea reaction was, that it “welcomes and supports” the UN statement condemning North Korea’s rocket launch.
Their feeling is that the reclusive, communist country should not take “provocation” threatening regional peace and stability any longer”.
The Security Council calls “for a peaceful and diplomatic solution to the situation” with President Obama backing the statement as a “clear and united message”.
The President has expressed his feelings that North Korea must comply to the standards and fall in line with the rest of the world.
North Korea has ordered all cameras, seals and Inspectors to leave their country immediately. They say they have every right to go Nuclear. -
Why on earth would they think that they have every right to go nuclear?! That’s just ridiculous. The rest of the world has every right to be worried about North Korea’s rocket launch, and forcing people out of the country just makes things seem all the more suspicious that something major is brewing.
North Korea should be watched closely, and the fact that they’re trying to make that as difficult as possible should make it even more crucial to monitor the country. North Korea certainly should fall in line with the rest of the world, and every effort should be taken to make sure that they do so.
Brilliant article from you here as always. Very well written, and on an interesting subject too. I really enjoyed the read; I read it a number of times actually. I’m proud of you.
