WORLD, Page 31World NotesTHE KOREASNo Nukes -- Maybe
As "expressions of principle" go, the one reached last week
by North and South Korea was rich with promise. Under the
six-point declaration, which follows the reconciliation accord
signed Dec. 13 by the longtime rivals, they agreed to forgo the
manufacture, testing and use of nuclear weapons. To ensure a
denuclearized peninsula, each side pledged to allow inspection
tours of suspected atomic sites.
But the loopholes in the proposed accord could make it
meaningless. Precisely which sites will be open to inspection
and how the monitors will operate are questions that have not
been resolved. The Prime Ministers of the two Koreas expect to
close the holes and sign a formal pact later this month. Even
so, the agreement still fails to commit North Korea either to
signing the International Atomic Energy Agency's
nonproliferation treaty or to IAEA inspections.
