Nuclear order is formed in the international society with the development of nuclear weapon. Nuclear order refers to a stable and ordered situation which is formed through regulation to nuclear activities and nuclear weapons by the international society. Sovereigns and international organizations are the major actors in the nuclear order; nuclear-weapon state or non-nuclear-weapon state is the national identity of sovereigns in the nuclear order; differences of national identity results in the differences among sovereign in terms of power levels, position, rights and obligatories. Laws such as International Nuclear Law, Nuclear Taboo and Nuclear Consensus are the regulations in the nuclear order. Nuclear order should adhere to the principles including Non proliferation of nuclear weapons, The peaceful use of atomic energy, Nuclear arms control and disarmament. Nuclear actions and nuclear weapons of Sovereigns are the specified objects of nuclear order. Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, NPT plays a vital role among the regulations of nuclear order. It is a basic reguation. The nuclear non-proliferation regime, nuclear arms control and nuclear disarmament are the main elements of present international nuclear order. Since the formation of nuclear order, The nuclear non-proliferation regime went through a historical change from The Parallel nuclear non-proliferation regime in the Cold War to The international nuclear non-proliferation regime at present. Nuclear arms control and nuclear disarmament are mainly pushed between America and Russia, without other countries owning nuclear weapons. The nuclear order at present has the inherent defects and historical limitations, which are symbolized as unfairness, possibility to reverse to non-nuclear order and structural rigidities. An alternative solutions to these problems is to promote the construction of more inclusive global nuclear order. To develop a nuclear-weapon-free-world is the ultimate aim of nuclear order, while constructing a world of Non-use of nuclear weapons is a practical and important step towards the above ultimate aim. To overcome the security dilemma of internatioal society under the anarchy is crucial to the future of the international nuclear order.North Korea nuclear issue is emboddied with special meaning among lots of nuclear issues in nowdays. Historical development of nuclear issues in North Korea reflects the historical evolution of The nuclear non-proliferation regime. During the Cold War, under The United States and the Soviet Union parallel nuclear non-proliferation regime, the Soviet Union was in charge of controlling the nuclear activities in North Korea. Through intelligence analysis, American suspected that North Korea was secretly developing nuclear weapons, and informed it to the Soviet union. North Korea then signed the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. After the Cold War, The United States and the Soviet Union parallel nuclear non-proliferation regime came to an end with the fall-apart of the Soviet Union. The present Nuclear Non-proliferation Regime was established, and America becomes the leading country, starts to involve in the nuclear issues in North Korea. North Korea withdrew from the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, and successfully owned nuclear weapons, which caused serious impact on the international nuclear order. North Korea is the first country that breaks the nuclear order. The fact that nuclear weapons exsit in North Korea not only means the retrogression, even failure of the existing International Nuclear Non-proliferation Regime, but also a fatal loose inside of nuclear order. The North Korean nuclear issue not only exposes the inherent defects of the international nuclear order, but also brings a new challenge to the international nuclear order. The leading countries in nuclea order should try their best to encourage North Korea sign again the Nuclear Non-proliferation Regime, also the nuclear threshold states should be prevented from withdrawing from the Regime like North Korea. The idea of The Japan Sea Rim Nuclear-Weapons-Free-Zone is a program to resolve North Korea issues from the perspective of nuclear order. Not only the security concerns but also the energy needs from North Korea are taken into consideration in the program, which reflects a balance between Nuclear Non-proliferation and peacefully usage of atomic energy. Involvement of countries owning nuclear weapons is an important guarantee to The Japan Sea Rim Nuclear-Weapons-Free-Zone. As the first sub-regional and limited nuclear-weapons-free-zone including countries with nuclear weapons, The Japan Sea Rim Nuclear-Weapons-Free-Zone has a positive and practical significance to the consolidation and development of the international nuclear order.
