Thanks to you both for your comments, welcome back Brin.
ReplyDeleteI guess the simple answer to your question would be, yes the UN and the world community as a whole decides who gets to build nuclear weapons.
A longer answer might be that Iran has been a member of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty for awhile and they have pledged not to build nuclear weapons. I also believe that to be a member of the UN, the member country has to agree to some nonproliferation policy regarding nuclear weapons; I am researching this and may have a link for you later today. The US and other countries with nuclear weapons have pledged to reduce them as everyone recognizes what a terrible threat to peace they are.
The reason the North Koreans feel that can "legally" build nuclear weapons is because they dropped out of the nonproliferation treaty about 18 months ago after admitting that they had been violating it for years.
