IAEA, Six Party Victim
Andreas Persbo finds something both the North Koreans and the Bush administration can agree on. Both states hate the IAEA. Is this the seed of a rapprochement?
I remember wanting «conditions on the ground» in the original draft, which was edited out. The main conclusion comes through, however. The DPRK cannot be in total control over which sites to declare, discuss, and visit. But it also cannot be expected to fall over on its back. Finding the right balance, the right buy-in, in the verification process will be very difficult.
I've heard that the Japanese are unhappy with the outcome of the text. Presumably, they would have wanted more Agency involvement. We shall see.
This also seems to be another sign of Pyongyang's growing confidence.
