    Security Council Press Statement on Democratic Peoples Republic of Koreas

    Ballistic Missile Launches

    The members of the Security Council strongly condemned the most recent ballistic
    missile launches conducted by the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea on 5 March
    2017. These launches are in grave violation of the Democratic Peoples Republic of
    Koreas international obligations under United Nations Security Council resolutions
    1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013), 2270 (2016), and 2321 (2016).

    The members of the Security Council deplore all the Democratic Peoples Republic of
    Korea ballistic missile activities, including these launches, noting that such activities
    contribute to the Democratic Peoples Republic of Koreas development of nuclear
    weapons delivery systems and increase tension in the region and beyond as well as the
    risk of a regional arms race. The members of the Security Council further regretted that
    the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is diverting resources to the pursuit of
    ballistic missiles while Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea citizens have great
    unmet needs.

    The members of the Security Council expressed serious concern over the Democratic
    Peoples Republic of Koreas increasingly destabilising behavior and defiance of the
    Security Council by conducting these ballistic missile launches after the 15 April, 23
    April, 27 April, 28 April, 31 May, 21 June, 9 July, 18 July, 2 August, 23 August, 5
    September, 14 October, and 19 October launches of 2016, 11 February 2017 launch, as
    well as the nuclear test of 9 September 2016. The members of the Security Council
    reiterated that the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea shall refrain from further
    actions, including nuclear tests, in violation of the relevant Security Council resolutions,
    and comply fully with its obligations under these resolutions.

    The members of the Security Council called upon all Member States to redouble their
    efforts to implement fully the measures imposed on the Democratic Peoples Republic
    of Korea by the Security Council, particularly the comprehensive measures contained in
    resolutions 2321 (2016) and 2270 (2016). The members of the Security Council
    directed the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006) to intensify its
    work to strengthen enforcement of resolutions 2321 (2016) and 2270 (2016) and assist
    Member States to comply with their obligations under those resolutions and other
    relevant resolutions. The members of the Security Council also called on Member States
    to report as soon as possible on concrete measures they have taken in order to
    implement effectively the provisions of resolutions 2321 (2016) and 2270 (2016).
    The members of the Security Council reiterated the importance of maintaining peace
    and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in North-East Asia at large, expressed their
    commitment to a peaceful, diplomatic and political solution to the situation and
    welcomed efforts by Council members, as well as other States, to facilitate a peaceful
    and comprehensive solution through dialogue. The members of the Security Council
    emphasised the vital importance of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea showing
    sincere commitment to denuclearisation and stressed the importance of working to
    reduce tensions in the Korean Peninsula and beyond.

    The members of the Security Council agreed that the Security Council would continue
    to closely monitor the situation and take further significant measures, in line with the
    Councils previously expressed determination.
