International Response: Nuclear Suppliers Group Calls for Increased Vigilance Over North Korea An organization that establishes export control guidelines for nuclear trade called on the international community today to increase its efforts to prevent North Korea from obtaining controlled items for its nuclear efforts (see GSN, May 19). Members of the 40-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group agree to follow common export control rules for equipment, material and technology that could be used for the development of nuclear weapons. “The group again called on all states to exercise vigilance to ensure that none of their exports of goods and technologies contribute to North Korea’s nuclear weapons effort,” the group said in a statement following the conclusion of a weeklong meeting held in South Korea (Agence France-Presse, May 23).
