Verfication Plan for North Korea Sep 26

by Paul

The WP has a copy of the U.S.-proposed scheme for verifying the elimination of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. You may have heard that the North Koreans were a little unhappy with it.

Appropriately describing the plan as “far-reaching,” the accompanying article notes that

U.S. verification experts were not even closely consulted when the six nations involved in the talks concluded a vague agreement on how verification might proceed. But they were given the lead role in drafting the U.S. document presented to North Korea in July.

About 5 years ago, if memory serves, I saw some of State’s VCI people talk about a verification scheme for North Korea. It was apparent then that they were for extensive verification. So the character of this proposal is, to me, unsurprising.
