North Korea and the Bomb

Guardian: Reports that North Korea has acted badly to the tough resolution that came out of the UN after its nuclear and missile tests. North Korea has stated it will weaponise its plutonium material. The UN Resolution states the following, " calling on Member States to inspect and destroy all banned cargo to and from that country ‑‑ on the high seas, at seaports and airports ‑‑ if they have reasonable grounds to suspect a violation. " This could be the flash point between the USA and North Korea but as the NYT pointed out there are some problems with the Resolution, the resolution states the following, " if the flag State ( the Flag of the Country that represents the ship ) did not consent to inspection on the high seas, decided that that State should direct the vessel to proceed to an appropriate and convenient port for the required inspection by the local authorities. " As the NYT points out North Korea runs its own ships, thus North Korea wont agree to have the USA personnel on their ships, but will they agree to China having a look, thus another flash point. Thus you could have a North Korean Ship stopped by the USA but refusing to be inspected and refusing to go to China. If the USA stopped a Ship it would be based on evidence that North Korea was selling WMD. Thus the USA would take action, another flash point. The Sea of Japan could get hot folks.
