The Six-Party Talks and the Future of the North Korean Nuclear Program 11.2.05
October 19, 2005
The Cato Institute will host a timely forum on the North Korean nuclear program with Joseph DeTrani, U.S. Special Envoy for the Six-Party Talks; and Ted Galen Carpenter, Cato's Vice President for Defense and Foreign Policy Studies.
The future of the North Korean nuclear program remains in doubt. Despite the apparent breakthrough in the Six-Party Talks in Beijing, crucial details remain to be resolved. When the talks reconvene, will negotiators be able to bridge the considerable differences and achieve U.S. goals of a complete, verifiable, and irreversible dismantlement of the North’s nuclear weapons program? What should the United States be willing to pledge to North Korea in exchange for concluding a final agreement? What measures will be put in place to ensure that North Korea abides by its pledges? Will a successful outcome pave the way for a possible similar breakthrough with respect to Iran’s nuclear program?
