In 2009, UCS took part in an independent effort to examine and suggest ideas to support a diplomatic approach aimed at engaging North Korea and ending its nuclear and missile programs.
UCS contributed a background paper that discusses the status of North Korea’s missile program and technical issues it faces in its development program. The paper then examines possible elements of a diplomatic approach that might be used to convince North Korea to abandon both its ballistic missile program and civil space launch program. The background report can be downloaded above.
The final report of the project and the full set of background papers are available here.
