Because one of the 3 basic principles of sovereignty (as is understood by western political philosophy, known as Westphalian sovereignty) is that there is no other authority inside a State’s borders except its own.
This means no other country has jurisdiction in North Korea, besides, there’s also no incentive to help in case DPRK asks for help.
France doesn’t investigante crimes that happen in Spain, Portugal doesn’t investigate crimes that haven in Canada, the USA doesn’t investigate crimes that happen in Germany, etc…
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> western political philosophy, known as Westphalian sovereignty) is that there is no other authority inside a State’s borders except its own You’re citing centuries-old political philosophy, only remnants of which remain in our world [1]. The West that arose after WWII and through the Cold War is decidedly non-Westphalian. Concepts like human rights, non-proliferation and self determination are non-Westphalian. The Nuremberg trials were anti-Westphalian. The closest modern analogues to (and proponents of) Westphalian philosophy are Russia, China and North Korea.

- OKRainbowKid 2y agoThese "proponents" seem less strict about applying this philosophy to states other than their own.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoThe Westphalian treaties gave France, Sweden and later Russia the explicit right to intercede to guarantee the Imperial constitution [1]. (Westphalia was concerned with the Holy Roman Empire.) Westphalian sovereignty as a historical concern is a myth [2].

- lnxg33k1 2y agoWell, if DPRK wanted to bomb countries so bad, they could be allied with US and NATO
- ajsnigrutin 2y agoRussia wanted to join nato, but nato wouldn't let them. Why would N korea even try then?
- mopsi 2y ago> Russia wanted to join nato, but nato wouldn't let them. That's not true. You will not find a single law approved by Russian Duma that sets it as a foreign policy goal like in countries that did choose to join NATO.
- racional 2y agoPutin, at least, says he wanted to join NATO back in 2000 (according to the Stone interview). But he put it, "the U.S. delegation got very nervous." Granted this was well before his total Machtergreifung, and he definitely was not equated with "Russia" at the time like he is now. But that's his telling of events, in any case.
- joecool1029 2y agoRemember this guy didn't fly to DPRK, he committed what could be considered crimes under CFAA while on US soil? (CFAA written broadly enough that taking a country offline could be considered to affect foreign commerce/communication of the US)
