Japan wants UN to warn N Korea over nuclear test

Japan also wants the UN to ask Indonesia if Indonesia likes them more than a friend.

Japan wants the U.N. Security Council to tell North Korea that a nuclear test would jeopardize peace in the region and warn Pyongyang of possible consequences if it ignores a call for restraint, according to a draft statement circulated on Wednesday.

I have to wonder why it's so important that the UN deliver this message. I would think that North Korea is well aware of how certain countries feel about them performing a nuclear test. It doesn't seem to me that the UN has more pull than anyone else. Less actually.
The statement -- in response to North Korea's Tuesday announcement that it planned to carry out its first underground nuclear test -- will be analyzed by council diplomats later in the day before being sent to capitals of the 15-member body.

In the meantime North Korea will hold an underground nuclear test.

The Japanese draft expresses "deep concern" over North Korea's threat, saying that a nuclear test would "jeopardize peace, stability and security in the region and beyond."

When someone says "earth" the last thing that comes to my mind is stability. It can always get worse I know that but, I'm left to wonder, can it ever get better?
