North Korea Sanctions: The Difficulties Are In the Details!

"United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718 was meant to send a strong message to North Korea, and indirectly also to Iran, that the international community will not continence continuation of their ballistic missile and nuclear weapons development and testing programs. But, the resolution may have fallen short of its mark. And the devil will be in the details of its implementation and enforcement.
While the language contained in the North Korea sanctions resolution is quite strong and to the point, the measures adopted are considerably weaker than previous sanctions programs imposed by the Security Council. Take, for example, the measures adopted against Iraq or Serbia. Those earlier sanctions programs included across-the-board trade and financial services embargoes, allowing only for specific exemptions based on humanitarian considerations. Air traffic was banned, and all ships to or from Iraq and Serbia were subject to being stopped, searched and detained."
