UNSC adopts US sanctions  on North Korea

United Nations, Aug 6: A meeting took place recently.
The United Nation Security Council has unanimously approved a resolution to strengthen sanctions on North Korean exports.The resolution was drafted by the US in response to Pyongyang's intercontinental ballistic missile tests.

The security council has yesterday strongly condemned the launch of intercontinental ballistic missile launches by North Korea on July 3 and 28. The resolution includes strongest sanctions imposed on the exports of North Korea.

Sources say that this ban would lead to a decline in annual revenue of the country by $ 1 billion and this is the single largest economic sanctions package ever leveled against the North Korean regime.



US Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has said that "the United States is taking and will continue to take prudent defensive measures to protect ourselves and our allies".

She has also said that "our goal remains a stable Korean peninsula, at peace, without nuclear weapons. We want only security and prosperity for all nations including North Korea. until then, this resolution and prior ones will be implemented to the fullest to maximize pressure on North Korea to change its ways,".

let's hope that North Korea changes its mind so that ban resolution is lifted .
