The situation in DPRK: global security and nuclear non-proliferation

Tensions between North and South have run high on numerous occasions since 1953. The deployment of the US Army’s Second Infantry Division on the Korean peninsula and the American military presence at the Korean Demilitarized Zone are publicly regarded by North Korea as an occupying army. In several areas, North Korean and American/South Korean forces operate in extreme proximity to the border, adding to tension. This tension led to the border clash in 1976, which has become known as the Axe Murder Incident.
