North Korean Launch

In demand for attention, a North Korean missile launch that most countries believe will happen soon, has been one of the main conversations at the G-20 conference amongst nations attending. The payload most likely is a very small satellite. The launch would be in violation of international law, as U.S. resolution 1718 bans the country from a variety of activities which includes the launching of any type of missile.
Out of pride, the country plans to launch this satellite because just recently, the Iranians launched missiles successfully using North Korean technology, something that the North Koreans themselves haven't been able to do.
