Nailed it is a understatement. In a world of steps in the right direction, this one is more encouraging than any so far. Finally, independent verification that they are actually discussing the exit from chapter 7. Whats next, actually sitting a Kurd in the ministry of security/defense? A link would be nice, in addition to this same article being on other almost equal websites. Take encouragement on this one folks.

The UN website has a page devoted to all of Moon's reports.

The one released June 20th addresses this.

There may have been further developments since then, but the recent news articles suggest otherwise...
