Threat of Nuclear Testing by The Hermit Kindom: Noise or Signals?

North Korea has threatened the world community to conduct another nuclear test in retaliation to the U.N's plan to probe the country for human rights violations. The U.N. human rights committee is asking the security council for permission to refer North Kore to the criminal court for human rights violations. North Korea has previously conducted nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013. North Korea says that there is biased accusations by defectors and the United States on claims of prison camps. That these accusations are form of aggression by the United States and its allies. give North Korea no other choice to pursue further nuclear testing. North Korea in the past has rejected claims of prison camps by saying that they were detention centers. Many experts on the other hand don't believe that North Korea will ever be tried in the criminal court because Russia and China both sit on the U.N. security council. Both China and Russia will not allow this as they the only ally that North Korea has. Satellite images show that enrichment facilities and other nuclear facilities are being rebuilt and restarted. Only time will tell if North Korea's persistent desire for nuclear weapons will be its downfall.
