The <str<strong>on</strong>g>Republic</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> France c<strong>on</strong>demns <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> latest violent attack <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> North Korea in November 2010, when<br />
artillery shells <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> island Ye<strong>on</strong>pye<strong>on</strong>g were fired by North Korean forces.<br />
Once more, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> facts that North Korea fired a torped <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> South Korean ship "Che<strong>on</strong>an" in March<br />
2010 (46 sailors died) and that North Korea cunducted a programme for enrichment <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> uranium <strong>on</strong><br />
20 th November 2010, have shown <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> disrespecting attitude <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> DPRK c<strong>on</strong>cerning UN Security<br />
Council Resoluti<strong>on</strong>s '1718' (2003), '1695' (2006) and '1874' (2009).<br />
France is deeply c<strong>on</strong>cerned about North Korea’s nuclear policy which seems to destabilize <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
Asian regi<strong>on</strong> by carrying out underground nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009 made up purpose <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> selfdefence<br />
against <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir regi<strong>on</strong>al neighbour South Korea.<br />
Fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>rmore, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>French</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Republic</str<strong>on</strong>g> declares accordingly that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> peaceful use <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> civil nuclear energy<br />
may be <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> link to a new internati<strong>on</strong>al solidarity.<br />
The <str<strong>on</strong>g>Republic</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> France sees <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> latest development as a rejecti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> its own proposals in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> '1874'<br />
UN Securtiy Council resoluti<strong>on</strong>. A peaceful sancti<strong>on</strong> can be maintained if North Korea is willing to<br />
stop its n<strong>on</strong>-peaceful nuclear programme and to hold <strong>on</strong> its own commitments to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> bindingly UN<br />
Security Council resoluti<strong>on</strong>s ‘1718’, ‘1695’ and ‘1874’.<br />
Besides, we want to stress <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> meaning <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> NPT (N<strong>on</strong>- Proliferati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Nuclear Weap<strong>on</strong>s Treaty),<br />
which has been signed by North Korea in 1985.<br />
2003 North Korea announced <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> withdrawal from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> NPT and aband<strong>on</strong>ed IAEA inspectors. For<br />
that reas<strong>on</strong>, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> first Six-Party-talks in Bejing (23 rd - 24 th <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> April 2003) between <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> United States,<br />
Russia, China, Japan, South Korea and North Korea resulted in a joint statement, adopted by all<br />
participating parties <strong>on</strong> 19 th <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> September 2005. The agreement includes a renunciati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a civil<br />
nuclear programme and obliging DPRK to return to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> NPT as well as to IAEA safeguards, in<br />
exchange for energy assitance. The <str<strong>on</strong>g>French</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Republic</str<strong>on</strong>g> is incapable <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>firming any improvement in<br />

Simulati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> United Nati<strong>on</strong>s Security Council – Viadrina Model <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> United Nati<strong>on</strong>s 2011 – <str<strong>on</strong>g>French</str<strong>on</strong>g> Delegati<strong>on</strong><br />
North Korea's attitude since 2005, as <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> current situati<strong>on</strong> shows.<br />
The sancti<strong>on</strong> regime and committees joined by a panel <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> internati<strong>on</strong>al experts c<strong>on</strong>tain that <str<strong>on</strong>g>French</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
suggesti<strong>on</strong>s got heard. Having c<strong>on</strong>sidered UN resoluti<strong>on</strong>s '1718' and '1974', France fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r<br />
recommends <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> publicati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> expert's reports to help establishing <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> sancti<strong>on</strong> committees.<br />
Until now, no report was published, thus <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>French</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Republic</str<strong>on</strong>g> proposes a deadline <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong>e m<strong>on</strong>th to<br />
get an overview about <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> recent developments. According to this report, France claims for a sec<strong>on</strong>d<br />
Six-Party-talk with <str<strong>on</strong>g>French</str<strong>on</strong>g> assistance as to be realised as so<strong>on</strong> as possible.<br />
France as a permanent member <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Security Council demands a transparent policy for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
Democratic People's <str<strong>on</strong>g>Republic</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Korea regarding a respectful cooperati<strong>on</strong> with <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> internati<strong>on</strong>al<br />
community (and especially with its regi<strong>on</strong>al neihbours). Moreover, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>French</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Republic</str<strong>on</strong>g>'s objective,<br />
and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> its European partners, is <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> entire revocati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> North Korea's nuclear programme to<br />
achieve regi<strong>on</strong>al stability, without risking more military c<strong>on</strong>flicts with North Korean's neighbours,<br />
especially with South Korea.<br />
France calls <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> DPRK to open its borders for IAEA inspecti<strong>on</strong>s. A new signed treaty will be<br />
necessary, to bind North Korea's own statements to achieve real acti<strong>on</strong>s. France appeals to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
DPRK, to stop its provocati<strong>on</strong>s immediately, o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>rwise fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r measures may be c<strong>on</strong>sidered.<br />
