Due to the death of Kim Jong Un and to avoid potential instability, the United Nations General Assembly is currently working to find a solution on denuclearizing North Korea.
As of now, the United Nations General Assembly has recognized Kim Yo-Jong as the new successor of the DPRK.
On Feb. 6th, the committee comes together to work on a solution to the possible denuclearization of the state. Two blocs have been formed, one for denuclearization and another that believes that denuclearization is unachievable.
South Korea, Poland, Russia, Rwanda, Nigeria, and others are for denuclearization. As a solution, the bloc calls for a three phase plan to limit the country’s nuclear power.
Phase 1 begins with a pause on all development and testing on arms.
Phase 2 terminates all production of enriched uranium and plutonium. They also call for the dismantling of nuclear processing infrastructure.
Phase 3 removes all existing warheads and fissile materials.
The bloc has also proposed to create a Euroasian energy and transportation link. They also wish to safely dispose of the nuclear weapons from the DPRK.
On the other end, there are many other countries who do not believe that denuclearization is achievable under Kim Yo Jong.
“Denuclearization is not possible under the regime of Kim Yo Jung. She has proven to be an ambitious leader who cracks down with brutality. Suggesting denuclearization will be viewed as a threat and taken with hostilities. Kim Yo Jung is an isolationist who will not work for the benefit of international peace.”, stated the United States.
There is a clear divide within the General Assembly right now but as the meeting progresses, the delegates will continue to work on a solution to find peace.
