UNITED NATIONS: Britain on Monday urged Malaysia to share evidence from the lethal VX nerve gas attack on Kim Jong-Un’s half-brother with the United Nations, which could take action against North Korea. “If they have got evidence, they should send it to the OPCW and to the Security Council,” Rycroft told journalists. Malaysia is a signatory to the Chemical Weapons Convention, which seeks to eliminate the use of the toxic agents. The Malaysian mission to the United Nations did not immediately return enquiries about its plans. South Korea slammed the use of the toxin as a “blatant violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention and other international norms”.
