UNITED NATIONS - / www.MaximsNews.com,
UN/ - 10 October 2006 -- The six power talks
which have taken place in Beijing and which have
regrettably failed to persuade the DPRK to
abandon its nuclear program, needs to be
urgently resumed with the aim of a denuclearized
Korean peninsula. While anger at the test
understandably is the dominant reaction now,
talks need to convince and assure the DPRK that
a verified renunciation of nuclear and other
weapons of mass destruction will end its
isolation, bring international assistance and
assurances from all the participating states
that the country will not be subject to threats
from the outside. The nuclear test that has taken place reminds us that it might be less difficult to persuade the DPRK and other states to refrain from developing nuclear weapons and from testing, if all great powers made sincere efforts to move the world toward nuclear disarmament. They should all ratify the comprehensive test ban treaty and help to bring it into force – with the full participation of a denuclearized DPRK. ~~~~~~ MaximsNews.com, An Independent Voice from the U.N., provides commentary and analysis from leading world figures: King Abdullah II (Jordan), HRH Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al-Hussein (Jordan), Sir Brian Urquhart, Hans Blix, Amb.
