"Mr President, Mr Member of the Council, I think it is not enough for the European Union to be concerned. It must take action on North Korea. Obviously it is a distant country, but nonetheless the regime in power there is literally a criminal one; the Union ought to make efforts to overturn this regime, before we are obliged, as in the case of Kosovo or other regions, to adopt drastic means.
This would require some imagination, and that is what I am asking of the Council. It would be possible to carry out “subversion” in the best sense of the word, and to get information to the citizens of North Korea so that they did not feel isolated. The United Nations could set up a major diplomatic initiative in order to isolate North Korea completely. We could parachute certain things in, as we do have the necessary military and technical resources. I would like to know if the Council is willing to study a number of steps of this type in order to overturn this literally criminal regime, so that we would not have to, as is the case for the Soviet Union, lament the tragedy 30 or 40 years later."@en1
