UNC requests meeting with N. Korea over JSA incident

북한군 정전협정 위반 확인됐지만 마땅한 제재수단 없어 North Korean troops violated the 1953 armistice by crossing the Military Demarcation Line. At this point the UNC has not clarified what it will do in response. Also unclear what to expect from North Korea, which is yet to comment on the situation. Here's Park Hee-jun with a closer look. United Nations Command on Wednesday sent a request to North Korea for a meeting through the communications channel at Panmunjeom,... to discuss the JSA incident and ways to prevent further violations. There's no guarantee, however, that the North will agree to any such meeting. For one thing, UNC and North Korea have not used the communications site in four years, since the North called the ceasefire agreement "invalid" in 2013. (English) - "My understanding is very clear. It's very unlikely to have negotiation coming back from the table because North Korea perceives this case as a very defensive and face-losing incident for their own benefits." The North Korean military is likely to strengthen censorship and carry out more thorough background checks for its troops serving at the border. And that's expected to more or less put an end to soldiers crossing over. There are also questions about how the UNC will respond. There's no way for it to retaliate. Rather, experts say it's likely to pursue a diplomatic solution. (Korean) - "The UNC could decide to make North Korea promise to make sure nothing like this ever happens again through some kind of agreement. It could also ask the North to make a statement accepting responsiblity and/or expressing regret over the incident." North Korea has yet to comment. It sent troops down to the MDL Wednesday morning to record video of UN Command reading out the investigation,... but whether Pyongyang will respond and through what channel remains to be seen.
