UN-Bericht: Nordkorea hat Nukleartechnologien exportiert

12.11.2010

Einem Report von UN-Experten zufolge hat Nordkorea gegen Resolutionen des Weltsicherheitsrats verstoßen. Demnach hat der ostasiatische Staat offenbar Nuklear- und Raketentechnologie u.a. an den Iran, Syrien und Birma geliefert.

In dem 70-seitigen Bericht, der breakfastpaper vorliegt, heißt es:

[...] Nevertheless, the Panel of Experts has reviewed several government assessments, reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency, research papers and media reports indicating continuing involvement of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in nuclear and ballistic missile-related activities in certain countries, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Syrian Arab Republic and Myanmar.

Weiter wird über ein internationales Handelsnetzwerk berichtet, das eng mit den diplomatischen Vertretungen des Landes zusammenarbeitet und dem kommunistischen Staat den Handel mit illegalen Waren (z.B. Waffentechnologien) ermöglicht. Zur Durchführung dieser Aktivitäten soll auch auf kriminelle Netzwerke im Ausland zurückgegriffen werden.

The Democratic People ‘s Republic of Korea maintains a wide network of trade offices that work in close conjunction with its diplomatic missions overseas . These offices are charged with both procurement and developing select trade opportunities of interest to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s leadership, including arranging and handling its illicit trade and covert acquisitions. Some of these activities have been aimed principally at identifying opportunistic markets for both licit and illicit exports. While much of the country’s illicit or covert acquisition activities are handled by these offices, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has also established links with overseas criminal networks to carry out these activities, including the transportation and distribution of illicit and smuggled cargoes. This may also include weapons of mass destruction-sensitive goods and arms and related materiel smuggling.
