US Might Report North Korea To UN

Oh my. Reuters (03.21.05):

"Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday Washington and its Asian allies would have to find new ways of dealing with North Korea if it continued to shun nuclear disarmament talks. Rice, concluding a sweep through Asia designed to revive the negotiations, also gave her strongest hint to date that the United States was prepared to report North Korea to the United Nations should the talks fail. 'Obviously, everyone is aware of the other options in the international system,' Rice told a news conference in Beijing. While U.S. officials have declined to specify what steps were under consideration, hard-liners in the Bush administration want to call off the talks and report North Korea to the United Nations for possible economic sanctions." U.S. Says It May Need New Ways to Deal with N. Korea

Somehow, it just doesn't seem like threatening to report North Korea to the UN is gonna faze 'em all that much. Almost a double secret probation kind of thing?
