¢º Long-delayed disclosure could move Six-Party Talks forward
By David McKeeby

Washington -- North Korea may be ready to issue its long-delayed declaration of past nuclear activities, marking a step forward for international efforts to stabilize the Korean Peninsula, says Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
¡°The hope is that within ... the month that we might receive the declaration,¡± Rice told CNN¡¯s editorial board June 19. ¡°There's been a lot of work done, principally by the Chinese, to try to move this forward.¡±
The declaration is a key component of efforts by China, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States to convince North Korea to dismantle its nuclear infrastructure in exchange for new political and economic security benefits under the Six-Party Talks.
Media reports suggest that North Korea may deliver the declaration to Beijing as early as June 26, as Rice begins a four-day visit to the region with stops in Japan, South Korea and China, where the Six-Party Talks are likely to top the agenda.
Although North Korea shut down its Yongbyon nuclear facilities under phase one of the February 2007 agreement, it missed its December 31, 2007, deadline to deliver a full account of its nuclear activities under phase two of the agreement.
In May 2008, North Korea released more than 18,000 pages of documentation on its plutonium program, which will help to verify the declaration when it is delivered to China, which chairs the Six-Party Talks process. (See ¡°North Korean Nuclear Documents a Step Forward, United States Says.¡±)
Once North Korea delivers its declaration and a joint Chinese-Russian-American team verifies its findings, envoys hope to move the process toward the third and final stage -- actual dismantlement of North Korea¡¯s nuclear infrastructure.
¡°We have at least already gotten to the place that we've set back their plutonium production and we've begun a verification regime that I think will allow us to really know how much plutonium they made and to begin to get a handle on it,¡± Rice said in an interview with editors from The Wall Street Journal June 19.
North Korea already has received 130,000 tons of fuel oil promised under the February 2007 agreement as well as $25 million in assets that were frozen in Macao. If North Korea¡¯s declaration is verifiable, accurate and complete, Rice said, Pyongyang will further benefit by its removal from the U.S. State Department¡¯s list of State Sponsors of Terrorism as well as the lifting of several economic sanctions discouraging companies from doing business in North Korea.
On two other elements of North Korea¡¯s nuclear past -- a parallel uranium enrichment program and cooperation with Syria and other countries seeking nuclear technologies -- Rice said that the United States will test Pyongyang¡¯s compromise proposal to ¡°acknowledge¡± U.S. concerns in follow-on talks. The talks already have yielded important information previously unknown to the U.S. intelligence community, she said.
¡°I'd be the first to say [the process is] not perfect,¡± Rice said. ¡°But you're dealing with a very difficult regime, and I'd like to put them out of the plutonium business, and I'd like to excavate these other two.¡±
By openly addressing all aspects of its nuclear program past and cooperating with verification efforts, North Korea could set the stage for additional benefits, including normalization of its relations with the United States.
¡°There's not going to be that big deal until this country is denuclearized,¡± Rice said. ¡°And knowing that it's denuclearized is going to take some work and is going to take a while.¡±
