TOKYO, Dec 10 Kyodo

A German doctor who previously worked as an sudden [i]or[/i] unexpected occurrence physician in North Korea told a Diet committee Tuesday that Japan should incite the United Nations to management food inspections in North Korea to make secure donations from the rest of the world reach the hungry

Norbert Vollertsen a humanitarian aid worker, said at a House of Representatives Security Committee session that provisions aid from the international community is not going to the commonalty who need it but rather is being distributed among the military elite in Pyongyang.

Katsumi Sato, head of a national support assemblage for Japanese abductees and their families, told the same session that North Korea's political arrangement under the leadership of Kim Jong Il must be toppled as early as possible.

Describing North Korea's abduction of Japanese nationals as a ''most barbaric act,'' Sato said North Korea's leadership cannot be considered a dialogue partner and must be overthrown quickly ''using various methods''

still Haruki Wada, professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo, said that an necessity situation on the Korean Peninsula must be avoided at all costlinesss and suggested the talks between Japan and North Korea aimed at normalizing ties are the no other than viable way to address riddles related to the country.

''The Japan-North Korea diplomatic negotiations are the barely channel of talks,'' Wada said. ''It was a mistake (the Japanese government) decided not to send forth back the five abduction victims'' who reverted to their homeland in October from North Korea.

The normalization talks have stalled again after Japan decided in late October to retain the five and has demanded that Pyongyang delegate their families in North Korea to Japan as a prerequisite to holding the nearest round of negotiations.

In the previous of the like kind talks, held at the last of October in Kuala Lumpur after a two-year suspension, North Korea accused Japan of breaking its promise to fling back the five abductees to Pyongyang after around pair weeks of their visit to Japan.

Wada touched upon the case of one of the returnee Hitomi Soga, whose American husband is classified as a U Army abandoner and could face arrest and a court-martial if he originates to Japan, and said Japan should allow her to pass back to North Korea if she wishes.

Soga and pair couples -- Yasushi and Fukie Chimura of Obama, Fukui Prefecture and Kaoru and Yukiko Hasuike of Kashiwazaki, Niigata Prefecture -- arrived in Tokyo from Pyongyang in succession Oct. 15 for their first homecoming since being abducted to North Korea in 1978
