CTBTO statement on the unusual seismic event detected in the DPRK
It says<p>&gt; It constitutes yet another breach of the universally accepted norm against nuclear testing; a norm that has been respected by all countries but one since 1996.<p>But<p>&gt; The Treaty will enter into force once signed and ratified by the remaining eight nuclear technology holder countries: China, Egypt, the DPRK, India, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, and the United States.<p>So, somehow, the US wants North Korea to respect a treaty that it is, itself, not accepting (though it has &quot;respected&quot; it).<p>This is exactly what is wrong with our world: The US is playing the police but not the &quot;model&quot;. In fact, they are playing a bad model while playing the police in the same time.<p>Why, the DPRK, (a sovereign country) has to respect this treaty or any other treaty? They are a sovereign country and they have the right to develop whatever technology they please.
