[imText1]After the U.N. Security Council passed the North Korean resolution on the 15th (local time), experts expressed the opinion that the international community had crossed the first of a series of stepping stones directly condemning North Korea.<\/p>\n
The challenge for North Korea is expected to intensify.<\/p>\n
Professor Jeong Ok Im of Sunmoon University appraised that \u201cChina unsuccessfully attempted to persuade North Korea, ultimately agreeing to the resolution. Compared to the Security Council resolution of 1993, this resolution will put greater pressure on North Korea”.<\/p>\n
Professor Jeong anticipates that \u201cThe U.N. will take additional measures if North Korea makes any further attempts at war”. <\/p>\n
Professor Jeong said \u201cChina and Russia do not want North Korea to develop its military power or advance its weapons development. In particular, China is worried that it will have to take all the responsibility after having been North Korea\u2019s spokesperson”. The professor added \u201cLooking at the state of affairs, there is a strong possibility that North Korea will take on a more defensive attitude”. <\/p>\n
\u201cNorth Korea may be intimidated by the Security Council\u2019s order\u201d<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n Professor Yoo Ho Youl of Korea University said \u201cThe resolution does not allude to strong consequences for future military actions, as Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter is not included. However, as the U.S, Japan, China and Russia are all in agreement, future direct measures can now be taken if necessary”.<\/p>\n He explained \u201cBy agreeing to the resolution, the U.S. created a stepping stone imposing economic sanctions on North Korea and making North Korea take on it\u2019s moral duties”.<\/p>\n Professor Yoo pointed out that \u201cNorth Korea is in strong opposition to the outcome, but has wrongly assessed the situation”. He said \u201cIf North Korea continues to test missiles and refuse to comply with the resolution, North Korea will be crossing the line”.<\/p>\n Honorary Professor Yoo Suk Ryoul, of the Institute of Foreign Affairs and National Security, said that \u201cThe resolution on North Korea by the Security Council sends a powerful message from the International community that North Korea\u2019s brinkmanship is no longer acceptable”. He speculated that \u201cThe resolution on North Korea could pose a threat to the system as North Korea is experiencing a time of hardship with the U.S. having endorsed economic sanctions”.<\/p>\n Professor Yoo Suk Ryoul said \u201cNorth Korea will face severe opposition if the resolution is not accepted. Relationships with China and Russia, who in the past supported North Korea, and even the relationship with South Korea will continue to worsen. As a result, a time will ultimately come when North Korea will be left in the abyss”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [imText1]After the U.N.
