Seoul:UNSC measure similar to G-8 statement on Norks would be acceptable | ||||
2010-06-30 | ||||
Something with a lot of commas and subclauses, but written entirely in passive voice. At the end of their two-day summit in Muskoka, north of Toronto, on Saturday, the G-8 leaders said they "deplore the attack on March 26 that caused the sinking of the Republic of Korea's naval vessel, the Cheonan, resulting in the tragic loss of 46 lives." The statement, which called for "appropriate measures" against those responsible for the attack, does not directly blame North Korea. Russia, a stronger backer of North Korea, reportedly opposed making the direct link, citing a lack of concrete evidence.
The source said it was not clear whether the Security Council will issue a presidential statement or a resolution on Pyongyang. Regardless of the form, the outcome would be acceptable if the language is comparable with that of the G-8 statement, he said. The statement took note of the conclusions by the investigation team that the North was responsible for the attack, the source said. "The statement specifically refers to the conclusion and condemned the attack in that context," he said. "Anyone could easily see that the leaders condemned North Korea."
Later in the day, North Korea criticized the G-8 statement, saying its purpose is political.
"Heads of state of G-8, however, hastily handled the case in a deliberate manner only to prove that they sought a sinister political purpose," the spokesman said. | ||||
