Introduction
Purpose of the Six Party Talks (6PT): find a peaceful resolution for North Korea (NK) nuclear disarmament
Talks resulted from NK withdrawing from NPT in 2003
6 rounds of talks from 2003 to May 2007
Multilateral negotiations are now viewed as the best approach to deal with the North Korean nuclear program.
NK escalates its demands to justify delay its commitment.
The viability of 6PT is undermined by NK maneuvers.
