Title ProperDenuclearization of North Korea
Other Title InformationBefore and After the Summits
LanguageENG
AuthorKwon, Edward
Summary / Abstract (Note)This paper analyzes the background of the nuclear stalemate between Trump and
Kim in the Hanoi Summit and investigates various issues involving North Korean
denuclearization, including a detailed roadmap and proper compensation for
Pyongyang. The paper uses tree cardinal perspectives of analytical tools (the will of
the leader, nuclear capability, and nuclear strategy) to critically assess North Korea’s
nuclear weapons program and fathom Kim Jong Un’s stance on denuclearization.
The United States reaffirms CVID/FFVD principles regarding North Korea’s
WMD, while Pyongyang prefers an action-for-action method of denuclearization.
Although Pyongyang has announced an end to its nuclear testing and has shut down
nuclear facilities, experts question whether Pyongyang really is dismantling its
nuclear program. Pyongyang’s hidden nuclear facilities and accumulation of HEU
in numerous places, the complicated process of verification, as well as potential
traps in the details of the denuclearization agreement pose a big challenge. In light
of the current nuclear stalemate, President Moon’s mediating effort to bring Kim
Jong Un back to the denuclearization table is imperative.
