KEPALA Badan Pelarangan Uji Coba Nuklir Komprehensif PBB mengatakan, pihaknya dapat mengirim tim ke Korea Utara menjelang KTT antara Donald Trump dan Kim Jong-un.
Lassina Zerbo mengatakan bahwa badan internasional yang dipimpinnya memiliki keahlian dan teknologi untuk memantau dan mengonfirmasi penutupan ´lokasi uji coba senjata nuklir Punggye-ri ´.
Suh Kune-yull, seorang profesor di Seoul National University, mengingatkan bahwa Korea Utara membongkar tempat uji coba nuklirnya tanpa ada pengamat, sehingga mendapat peluang untuk menyembunyikan bukti.
Citra satelit yang dirilis awal pekan ini menunjukkan beberapa struktur pendukung dan rel kereta api di lokasi pengujian bawah tanah yang dipindahkan sebelum KTT berlangsung.
Korea Utara telah berulang kali mengatakan bahwa mereka berkomitmen untuk menyingkirkan senjata nuklirnya, tetapi pada Rabu mengancam akan keluar dari KTT jika AS menolak untuk menghentikan ´kebijakan bermusuhan, ancaman nuklir dan pemerasan´ terhadap Korea Utara seperti dilansir MailOnline.
THE HEAD of the UN´s Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization said it was able to send a team to North Korea ahead of the summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un.
Lassina Zerbo said his body has the expertise and technology to monitor and confirm to closure of the Punggye-ri nuclear-weapon test site´.
Suh Kune-yull, a professor at Seoul National University, warns that North Korea is dismantling its nuclear testing site without any observers present, giving it the chance to hide evidence.
Satellite images released earlier this week showed several support structures and railways at the underground testing site being removed ahead of the summit.
North Korea has repeatedly said it is committed of getting rid of its nuclear weapons, but on Wednesday threatened to pull out of the summit if the US refuses to halt ´hostile policy, nuclear threats and blackmail´ against it.
