North Korea

The ACNSL strongly supports continued dialogue and negotiations with the DPRK. Although the DPRK is rapidly developing missile capabilities with the potential to strike the homeland, we reject those who promote military solutions via tactical strikes or ground incursions. Military action between the DPRK and the United States and its allies will immediately endanger countless lives within South Korea, including the 150,000 U.S. civilian and military personnel living in South Korea. The U.S. must oversee a global effort to denuclearize the Korean peninsula by leading an aggressive diplomatic campaign to establish regional security, diplomatic stability, and the discontinuation of the North Korean nuclear and missile development programs.
