In 2009 the Six-Party Talks remained stalemated over reviving a denuclearization plan for North Korea that had been agreed by the parties in 2007.57 The plan set out a sequence of reciprocal steps, based on the principle of ‘action-for-action’, that were intended to pave the way for North Korea to verifiably ‘abandon’ its nuclear programme.58 However, the deal broke down in the autumn of 2008 because of dispute between the two principal antagonists—North Korea and the USA—over how to verify the accuracy and completeness of North Korea’s initial declaration of its nuclear facilities and plutonium production activities as required under the agreement.59
