North Korea signs safeguards pact

Article Abstract:

North Korea signed a nuclear safeguards agreement on Jan 30, 1992 with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The agreement will allow IAEA inspection and monitoring of North Korea's nuclear complex. Although North Korea has been a signatory of the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty since 1985, it constantly withheld signing the IAEA agreement. North Korea's concurrence follows a Dec 31, 1991 agreement with South Korea that would convert the Korean Peninsula into a nuclear weapons-free zone.

Bringing North Korea back into the non-proliferation treaty fold

Article Abstract:

Two of North Korea's protests against the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) demands for special inspection of suspected nuclear sites can be eliminated if it is given an opportunity to alter its nuclear declarations and so allow for regular inspection. North Korea's fears of the existence of US nuclear weapons in South Korea can be allayed if its officials, along with IAEA experts, are permitted to conduct special inspections at South Korean military bases.

North Korea threatens withdrawal from Non-Proliferation Treaty

Article Abstract:

North Korean Foreign Minister, Kim Yong Nam, informed the UN Security Council's president that North Korea had decided to terminate its membership in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) on Mar 12, 1993. North Korea objected to special inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the US-South Korean 'Team-spirit' military exercises. The IAEA Board of Governors still considers safeguards valid in North Korea.
