Diplomats in Vienna said the South Koreans have been lobbying hard to
avoid the humiliation of being reported to the Security Council, which
could impose economic sanctions.
韓国がロビー活動で安保理いり逃れに必死。
"Between now and the next IAEA board meeting in March, there will be
an attempt to persuade the South Koreans to accept a report to the
Security Council for informational purposes, not for sanctions," said a
diplomat.
三月の次回IAEA理事会までに、韓国に安保理入りを受理するよう説得
することになりそう。
This is what the IAEA board did Libya earlier this year after Libyan
leader Muammar Gaddafi abandoned his nuclear weapons programme
in December 2003.
それはリビアが2003年12月にされたのと同じ。
Diplomats said that the majority of IAEA board members felt that South
Korea's experiments with weapons-useable material were a clear breach
of its Safeguards Agreement under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
韓国の兵器級実験は規約不履行と、IAEAの大半は考えている。
