As a result of the agreement, Dublin now has a say in the affairs of Ulster, while recognizing that British sovereignty in the province can be changed only through democratic means. Recently the Republic has sought to intercept clandestine arms shipments into both north and south. In November 7,000 Irish troops and police launched Operation Mallard, an extensive search through 50,000 homes near the border and in large cities like Dublin.

For the most part, however, the transfer of technology takes place along quasi-normal lines: through firms in Europe, Japan or elsewhere that are used to transship the pilfered goods to Eastern Europe...
...could make life more austere in Kim's kingdom. Lawyers representing the creditor banks are already scouting for North Korean assets to seize, including reserves believed to be stashed in bank accounts in Switzerland, Austria, West Germany and elsewhere. There is speculation too that the creditors could try to intercept the shipments of gold, worth about $27 million each, that Pyongyang sells each month through the London bullion market. Juche, in other words, could encompass even harder times ahead...
