UN Inspects NK

From Hollister:

Recently, North Korea started up its nuclear program again, and did not allow UN to inspect the nuclear sites.

After Washington took Pyongyang off its terrorism blacklist, UN nuclear watchdog inspectors are in North Korea, resealing nuclear facilities.

Despite Japanese disapproval of this action, the US no longer considers North Korea a blacklisted nation. If Washington's decision is reversed, North Korea has made it clear that the UN inspectors would be removed once again.

This deal does not grant the inspectors full access to any site with nuclear relevance, but access is granted based on mutual consent of both parties.
