South Korea Calls for UN Action on North Korean Uranium Enrichment Program

South Korea is asking for action to be taken by the UN to halt North Korea's continued development of their nuclear program. South Korea is being backed by the US and Japan, while North Korea is being supported by Russia and China. Talks between these six nations will be necessary, but the US is not willing to make any negotiations until it sees North Korea take actions that prove that it will cooperate in good faith. South Korea is also not willing to talk until North Korea admits to sinking a South Korean Warship last year that killed 46 sailors and shelling a South Korean island that killed 2 civilians and 2 marines. North Korea is trying to provoke hostility and is creating a direct threat to US security. The US feels that South Korea and North Korea must initiate talks with one another before progress can be made regarding the limitations on nuclear development and missile technology.
