Edit: No it doesn't. It calls on all members to carry out searches, but requires NK approval first. Which is marginally better but still not likely to help.
The U.N. sanctions, which toughen an earlier arms embargo against North Korea, ban the country from exporting all weapons and weapons-related material, meaning any weapons shipment to Myanmar would violate the resolution.
The Security Council resolution calls on all 192 U.N. member states to inspect North Korean vessels on the high seas "if they have information that provides reasonable grounds to believe that the cargo" contains banned weapons or material to make them. But that requires approval from the North.
If the North refuses to give approval, it must direct the vessel "to an appropriate and convenient port for the required inspection by the local authorities."
North Korea, however, is unlikely to allow any inspection of its cargo, making an interception unlikely, said Hong Hyun-ik, an analyst at the Sejong Institute think tank outside Seoul.Last edited by Alinestra Covelia; June 24, 2009, 19:00.

they seem to want to provoke us into war. I just hope we don't have any trigger happy military types over in that part of the war that accidently (or deliberately) start another war. Things will be okay as long as neither side does anything stupid. Let them rant and rave like a 3 year old, we don't care.

In other words we will continue to talk tough but in reality do jack **** when it comes to NK.

North Korean state media have condemned a recent U.S. pledge to provide nuclear defense to South Korea, saying the move bolsters Pyongyang's reasons for having atomic bombs.

Why is anyone providing aid to this blackmailer. (I know the people are starving, but at some point you just have to call their bluff and say no more aid for you )It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Problem is, he could still flatten Seoul.
So how long does it take to stop 1 NK ship? I heard about this a couple days ago. Can they not find it?"The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.

How long is the trip from NK to Myanmar (by boat)?
edit - And do you think anyone will stop and inspect this boat when it leaves Chinese waters?Last edited by Wezil; June 25, 2009, 09:37."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow
