U.N. Should Have Worded It : N.KOREA'S NOT PERMITTED TO FIRE ANYTHING INTO THE SKY

The World is holding its breath this week as global enemy, North Korea plans to send a satellite into orbit.
Under a 1967 UN international space treaty stating that outer space, "..shall be free for exploration and use by all states without discrimination of any kind."
North Korea says it has the right to put a satellite into orbit under this treaty despite the fact that the U.S. and other countries are suspicious that the planned launch is really a test for long range military missiles.
The suspicion does come from somewhere; the Security Council censured North Korea twice in 2006, first for carrying out a ballistic missile test that July and then for conveniently conducting a nuclear test explosion three months later.
Lee Keun-gwan, an expert on international law at Seoul National University, agreed, "I think it is a matter of great concern for the peace and security of the region. International society is justified in urging North Korea to respect the spirit as well as the letter of the relevant U.N. Security Council resolutions."
