It's Going Down

Early this morning, North Korea announced it had conducted its second nuclear test. Just before the announcement was made, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) - organizations that are both housed at UN Vienna - detected the test.

According to my roommate, who works with CTBTO, the place is like a "war room" right now. An emergency meeting among all delegations to the IAEA and CTBTO, as well as all Security Council members, has been called. I hear Obama is heated. Go figure.

  1. They have a war room? Right now, I bet they're trying to think of the harshest words to use in a resolution.

  2. I'm sure North Korea is going to get a very strongly worded letter sometime soon from the UN, that's for sure.
