Abstract
Diplomacy has failed because North Korea remains determined to build its nuclear arsenal. Resuming talks would achieve nothing, when it is so close to attaining an effective arsenal. North Korea now says that it will denuclearise only after USA and South Korea negotiate a peace treaty with it to end the Korean War formally. The only remaining hope for denuclearising North Korea peacefully lies in convincing it that it must disarm and reform, for continuing on the chosen path could lead to unimaginable consequences for it. Political subversion and financial isolation, through the latest sanctions, have to be backed with secondary sanctions against Chinese financial institutions and other institutions, which have been, on the sly, continuing trade and financial deals with North Korea.
