ABSTRACT In the expert and diplomatic communities, it is generally considered that disarmament verification should be undertaken as far as possible on a multilateral basis. Partly this reflects experience with the International Atomic Energy Agency’s safeguards system, and partly it reflects the view of non-nuclear-weapon states that international participation is required to ensure transparency and credibility in the disarmament process. The main argument against this is proliferation risk from the diffusion of proliferation-sensitive information. However, a number of aspects of disarmament verification will not involve sensitive information, and where sensitive information is involved there are ways of enabling effective verification while protecting such information. As yet no specific details have been negotiated on how nuclear disarmament in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) will proceed, and how this will be verified. Whatever is negotiated, the international community will certainly want assurance of the integrity of the verification process. In particular, the ROK has a very direct interest in what is happening across the DMZ and has every reason to be involved in the disarmament effort. This paper discusses how this can be possible consistent with non-proliferation principles.

核查朝鲜核裁军：无核武器国家（特别是韩国）参加该核查计划的利弊

摘要在专家界和外交界，普遍认为裁军核查应尽可能在多边基础上进行。这部分反映了国际原子能机构保障制度的经验，部分反映了无核武器国家的观点，即无国际武器国家要求国际参与以确保裁军进程的透明性和可信性。反对这一观点的主要论点是扩散敏感信息扩散带来的扩散风险。但是，裁军核查的许多方面将不涉及敏感信息，在涉及敏感信息的地方，有一些方法可以在保护此类信息的同时进行有效核查。迄今尚未就朝鲜民主主义人民共和国（朝鲜）的核裁军如何进行以及如何进行核查进行任何具体细节的谈判。无论经过什么谈判，国际社会当然都希望保证核查过程的完整性。特别是，韩国对非军事区正在发生的事情有着非常直接的兴趣，并有充分的理由参与裁军工作。本文讨论了如何与不扩散原则保持一致。韩国对非军事区正在发生的事情有着非常直接的兴趣，并且有充分的理由参与裁军工作。本文讨论了如何与不扩散原则保持一致。韩国对非军事区正在发生的事情有着非常直接的兴趣，并且有充分的理由参与裁军工作。本文讨论了如何与不扩散原则保持一致。
