North Korea quits nuclear talks. Since when is the U.N. Security Council taken so seriously?

North Korea has quit nuclear talks according to Reuters and it has furthermore instructed U.N. inspectors to leave the country.

On April 5th the U.N. Security Council has unanimously condemned the North Korean supposed satellite launch, which in fact was a long range missile launch, according to the United States, Japan and the Russian Federation (AFP). The launch was successful but the missiles flight did not perform, as it fell into the sea. Of course according to the North Korean Press Agency it is now sending revolutionary tunes from space North Korean News Agency.

North Korea finds the U.N. resolution as infringement on its sovereignty, and will not continue any talks with the international community about its nuclear program, which now will be expanded to develop nuclear rich fuel, through a light water reactor. A technology which North Korea surely lacks.

Although previously China asked for restrain from the international community for condemning the launch, now seems to be joining the opinions of the international community, as North Korea begins to restarting a full scale nuclear program.
