BBC: France searches N Korean vessel
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6154986.stm

French officials in the Indian Ocean are inspecting a North Korean ship under the terms of UN Security Council sanctions adopted against Pyongyang.

Customs officers are examining the ship on the French island of Mayotte, France's foreign ministry said.

It is believed to be the first time a North Korean vessel has been inspected under Security Council Resolution 1718.

The resolution imposed sanctions on North Korea after it carried out a nuclear test in October.

1. Hooray for the French
If everyone starts doing this it may cripple NK shipping and force them to comply. Interesting that China responded negatively. China really is not our friend and they should be monitored closely.
