South Korea and seven other countries have requested the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to take steps to prevent North Korea from test-firing missiles without advanced notification, the government said Wednesday.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Pyongyang violated the United Nation's aviation safety arm's regulations that require members to declare a no-fly zone before test-firing missiles. North Korea is one of the 191 ICAO member countries.

"The eight countries have submitted a joint statement to the president of the ICAO council for a review on North Korea," a ministry official said on condition of anonymity.

The seven others are the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada and Australia.

"South Korea, the U.S. and Japan usually appealed to the ICAO when North Korea violated the aviation safety rule. It's noteworthy that five other countries are also taking part this time," the official said.

Pyongyang has carried out 14 launches so far this year, including ballistic missiles tests.

It test-fired two ballistic missiles, believed to be Scuds, into the East Sea from north of Gaeseong, Sunday. It also launched two ballistic missiles into the East Sea, on July 9 and June 29, respectively. Pyongyang didn't declare its launches in advance as required.

In April, the ICAO asked North Korea to give prior notice on any activities that could threaten the safety of civilian flights in response to the North's test-firing of Scuds in March.

South Korea and the U.S. have been separately preparing requests for the U.N. Security Council's sanctions committee against North Korea to review possible violations of U.N. Resolutions that ban the use of ballistic missiles by Pyongyang.

The U.N. Security Council's resolutions ―1718, 1874, 2087 and 2094 ― all ban North Korea from using nuclear, ballistic missiles and other weapons of mass destruction.

A foreign ministry official said ICAO is expected to take steps against the missile launching in compliance with the request from the eight member countries.


한·미 등 8개국, ICAO에 '북한미사일 발사' 문제제기

공동서한 보내…'북한 안전조치 미이행' 관련 대응조치 요구

우리나라와 미국, 일본을 포함해 8개 나라가 국제민간항공기구(ICAO) 이사회 의장에 공동서한을 보내 북한의 최근 스커드 미사일 발사에 대해 문제를 제기한 것으로 알려졌다.

이들 8개국은 서한에서 북한이 국제법상 의무에도 불구, 최근 스커드 미사일을 발사했을 때 사전에 이를 알리는 안전 조치를 취하지 않았다면서 이에 대한 ICAO 차원의 대응 조치를 요구한 것으로 전해졌다.

북한은 국제민간항공협약(ICAO 협약)의 당사국으로 미사일 발사 전 민간 항공의 안전을 위해 관련 정보를 이해당사국에 제공할 의무가 있는데 이를 준수하지 않았다고 문제제기를 한 것이다.

정부 소식통은 16일 '과거에는 주로 한미일 3국이 했는데 이번에는 참여국이 증가한 것이 특징'이라고 말했다.

ICAO 이사회 의장은 8개국의 문제 제기와 관련, 앞으로 조치를 검토할 예정이다.

앞서 ICAO는 북한의 3월 말 노동미사일 발사와 관련, 지난 4월 북한 민항총국장에게 민간 항공기 운항에 위험을 주는 행위를 사전에 관련국에 알려야 할 의무가 있다고 지적한 바 있다. (연합뉴스)
