- <p> 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.
- </p>
- <p> 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.
