IRELAND-North korean threat: what sanctions to adopt?

Humanity is accustomed to live with the most dangerous and unpredictable monster - weapons of mass destruction. But we forget about the possibility of getting it out of control. Over the years, only one truth is well understood: nuclear weapons serve as a deterrent to the aggressor. It helps to prevent a new world war. Unfortunately, we neglect another truth: it is getting harder to control nuclear weapons. It is spread all over the world. It becomes the property of more and more new states. This increases the reality of unauthorized use of nuclear weapons, accidents with nuclear components, diversions of terrorists on objects of weapons of mass destruction and theft of it. Hostages of nuclear terror can be entire regions and cities with a multimillion population. It is difficult to foresee such a situation, where the nuclear calamity can come from and what consequences it will turn out, because many countries hide their involvement in the “nuclear club”. Other states do not want to sign the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, according to which they should not acquire it and sell it. North Korea belongs to such countries.
On March 12, 1993, the DPRK announced its withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. This position caused international suspicions about North Korea's nuclear program. On 9 October 2006, the first nuclear explosion was carried out. In April 2012 the Constitution of the DPRK was amended on the nuclear status of the country. The nuclear program and the launching of North Korean missiles are a cause of concern throughout the world.

Sanctions against North Korea have been imposed by a number of countries and international bodies. Ireland supports the sanctions against Northern Korea as Ireland is an EU member. The current sanctions are largely concerned with North Korea's nuclear weapons program and were imposed after its first nuclear test in 2006. They have imposed a series of sanctions against North Korea since 2006. Ireland has imposed an embargo on arms and related material, banned the export of aviation and rocket fuel to North Korea, banned the trade in gold, precious metals and diamonds with the North Korean government, banned the import of minerals from North Korea, with some exemptions for coal and iron ore, banned exports of luxury goods, restrictions on financial support for trade with North Korea, restrictions on investment and financial activities, inspections and monitoring of cargoes imported to and exported from North Korea, banned oil exports and investments in North Korea
Last year, the whole world followed the tests of nuclear missiles in North Korea. The government of the DPRK did not react to the sanctions imposed by the EU and continued the testing of weapons. The whole world community must unite in the fight against the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Representatives of all countries should gather at the negotiating table and take new measures to contain the aggressive expansion of nuclear weapons in North Korea. The EU should tighten economic sanctions against the DPRK as the military resolution of the conflict is unacceptable. Violence breeds new violence. And such a situation can lead to a nuclear war that will destroy all of humanity.
