JAKARTA - North Korea has just issued a law on the use of nuclear weapons. They now have the right to 'otally' use nuclear weapons as personal protection.

This means that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un further emphasized that his nuclear status cannot be changed and implied as if he had stopped the discourse on denuclearization talks, as quoted by The Guardian, Saturday, September 10.

The move comes as observers suspect North Korea is preparing to resume nuclear trials for the first time since 2017.

North Korea's parliament, the Supreme People's Assembly, passed the law on Thursday, September 8 as a substitute for the 2013 law that first outlined the country's nuclear status.

"The most important thing of making a nuclear weapons policy law is to draw an irreparable line so that there is no bargaining over our nuclear weapons," Kim said in a speech at the assembly.

Kim Jong-un also emphasized that he would never give up arms even if the country faced 100 years of sanctions.

A representative at the assembly said the law would serve as a strong legal guarantee to consolidate North Korea's position as a nuclear weapons state.

The 2013 law stipulates that North Korea could use nuclear weapons to repel invasions or attacks from hostile nuclear countries and carry out counter-attacks.

This new law is more than that.
