NBC has changed the article title slightly since I posted it, taking out “agrees to end war”.
Now...
Kim Jong Un agrees to denuclearization of Korean Peninsula — The leaders of North and South Korea also pledged to “cease all hostile acts” amid a “new era of peace” after a historic summit.
Someone correct my history as I am sure I am forgetting something.
The Korean war was a UN action, was it not? So to officially end it would take a UN Security Council resolution. That probably would have been given years ago were it not that the US is a permanent member of the Security Council. So I think SK and NK cant by themselves officially end the war. It will have to have the US get a vote to end the war in the UN Security Council. Is that correct?
