      UN nuclear agency to give North Korea `one more chance,' official says
      Mon, January 6, 2003

      VIENNA (AP) - The UN nuclear agency will give North Korea "one more chance" to abandon its covert weapons program and readmit inspectors before it hands the dispute over to the Security Council, an official said Monday.

      "North Korea will be given another chance to come into compliance," the International Atomic Energy Agency official told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity.

      Ahead of an emergency meeting to be held later Monday in Vienna, the IAEA's 35-country board of governors already had a draft resolution urging the communist country to comply with its obligations under international nuclear accords, the official told AP.

      Parts of the declaration were to be hashed out in Monday's meeting, but the essence of the document was that "reporting to the Security Council would be something that would happen if they do not comply," the official said.

      Referring the dispute to the council - a last resort for the IAEA, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog - could lead to punitive sanctions or other actions against North Korea's regime for expelling IAEA inspectors last month and reactivating an idled nuclear complex.

      A senior agency official had told AP earlier that the IAEA was running out of options and soon would have little choice but to turn the matter over to the Security Council.
