New York (IINA) – Following emergency consultations on Sunday, the UN Security Council strongly condemned the missile launched by North Korea (Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea -DPRK), and announced that it will “expeditiously” adopt a new resolution in response to “these dangerous and serious violations”, UN News Center reported.
“The members of the Security Council underscored that this launch, as well as any other DPRK launch that uses ballistic missile technology, even if characterized as a satellite launch or space launch vehicle, contributes to the DPRK's development of nuclear weapon delivery systems and is a serious violation of Security Council resolutions,” UN Permanent Representative of Venezuela Rafael Darío Ramírez Carreño told reporters delivering the Council's presidential statement.
He added that the 15-member Council reaffirmed that a clear threat to international peace and security continues to exist, especially in the context of the nuclear test.
“The members of the Security Council restated their intent to develop significant measures in a new Security Council resolution in response to the nuclear test conducted by the DPRK on January 6, 2016, in grave violation of the DPRK's international obligations,” Ramírez stressed.
The Council also expressed its commitment to continue working toward a peaceful, diplomatic and political solution to the situation leading to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
