The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, categorically condemned North Korea’s conduct in reportedly detonating a nuclear device yesterday and expressed support for the United Nations Security Council’s efforts to persuade the Pyongyang government to step back from its negative stance.
Insulza said that this flagrant rupture of the nuclear nonproliferation regime constitutes not only a grave destabilization factor in the Asian Pacific region, but also a threat to world peace. He also expressed solidarity with South Korea, Japan, China and Russia – which are among OAS observer countries – as well as with other nations directly affected by this violation of international law.
Insulza recalled that the Latin American and Caribbean region, as a nuclear-weapon-free zone, governed by the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (Treaty of Tlatelolco) and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, has a direct interest in ensuring that no additional nuclear weapons are developed in the world. Secretary General Insulza added that he would support all efforts by international organizations, in particular the United Nations, to ensure that such development does not take place.
The OAS General Secretariat will consult in the coming days with its member states and with the Agency for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean (OPANAL, by its acronym in Spanish) about the next steps that can be taken to cooperate in this effort.
