The pact was greatly deferred when North Korea expelled the United Nations inspectors. The International Atomic Energy Agency stated that the North Korean government asked the inspectors to leave and remove seals and surveillance in North Korea’s Yongbyon plant. North Korea defends its actions by stating that the United States has defaulted on their section of the deal. One section of the agreement stated that the United States would remove North Korea off the blacklist of states that aid terror.

The transactions that have defaulted the original agreement may bring serious consequences to today’s world.

The United Nations as an institution of the world should be able to control North Korea’s actions. Yet, the United Nations does not have the power. The states are the ultimate source of authority. Therefore, North Korea has defied the United Nations “supremacy” and acted in its own self-interest.

North Korea entered an agreement with the United States, Japan, China, and South Korea. The agreement has been faulted on by the United States. Therefore, North Korea believes that it is in their best interest to proceed with the pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and nuclear studies. The United States has failed to expunge its view of North Korea as an aid to terror. Consequently, this has categorized North Korea as an enemy to the United States, which has been fighting a War on Terror. North Korea has been placed in a security dilemma. North Korea had to place itself on the defensive because it does not have perfect information of the United States intentions for blacklisted states.

With lack of information, North Korea needed to form a security blanket from possible enemies. Possible enemies include the United States, Japan, China, and South Korea. As a result, North Korea made a rational decision to protect itself by reclaiming its’ entitlement to nuclear testing.

North Korea has created a possible fatal security dilemma. It has posed the threat of potential global conquest, possible world destruction, and a feasible world war. Nations around the world have labeled North Korea’s actions as “fateful”, “disappointing”, and “momentous”. Actions will need to be taken to restore the balance of power. Otherwise, the consequences can be incurable.
