North Korean Resolution

RedState provides a list of the provisions of the United Nation's North Korea Resolution.

  • Demands North Korea eliminate all its nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles.

  • Requires all countries to prevent the sale or transfer of materials related to Pyongyang's unconventional weapons programs, as well as large-sized military items such as tanks, missiles and helicopters.

  • Demands nations freeze funds overseas of people or businesses connected with North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

  • Allows nations to inspect cargo moving in and out of North Korea in pursuit of non-conventional weapons.

  • Calls on Pyongyang to return "without precondition" to stalled six-nation talks on its nuclear program.

  • Is not backed up by the threat of military force.

I'm not war mongering by any means, but that last item there pretty much guarantees that this will fail.

Send in Hans Bricks!

I am not disappointed because nothing, nothing, nothing good will come out of the Security Council. Either China will successfully pressure them or we will do a coalition of the willing someday.
