USA & others on DPR Korea Ballistic Missile Launches - Security Council Stakeout | United Nations

Joint Statement Delivered by Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield at the UN Security Council Stakeout on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea's Ballistic Missile Launches

(The following is a joint statement delivered by Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. Representative of the United States to the United Nations, on behalf of Albania, Brazil, France, India, Ireland, Japan, Norway, the Republic of Korea, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.)

The United States, Albania, Brazil, France, India, Ireland, Japan, Norway, the Republic of Korea, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom, strongly condemn the DPRK’s long-range ballistic missile launch which overflew Japan on October 4 and its seven other ballistic missile launches conducted since September 25. The DPRK has now launched over 35 ballistic missiles this year alone.

These launches violate multiple Security Council resolutions and pose a threat to not only the region, but to the entire international community.

The United States, and those who have joined me at the podium today remain committed to diplomacy and continue to call on the DPRK to return to dialogue. But we will not stay silent as the DPRK works to undermine the global nonproliferation regime and threaten the international community.

The DPRK made its intentions clear in April and September when its leader signaled an effort to accelerate the DPRK’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and even alluded to pre-emptive use of nuclear forces. We are witnessing the DPRK’s pursuit of this objective.

We call on all UN Member States, especially Council members, to join us in condemning this reckless behavior and in urging the DPRK to abandon in a complete, verifiable, and irreversible manner its unlawful weapons programs and engage in diplomacy toward denuclearization. We also recall the Council’s decision in Resolution 2397 referring to further significant measures.

We call on Member States to fully implement the relevant Security Council resolutions. Let us reaffirm that full implementation of the 1718 Committee mandate is necessary to effectively slow down and restrict the DPRK’s weapons advancements.

Following the DPRK’s provocations and escalatory behavior in 2017, the Council came together and unanimously took action to hold the DPRK accountable for its unlawful actions.

Now again the DPRK is testing the Council’s resolve and we must act accordingly.

The Council will continue to engage over the course of the next week to find a unified voice and way forward.

UAE shares a hospital with Russia. They are partners. This war is enemies with enemies. If United Nations cannot stop it, why are they giving the platform to the very countries responsible for the war? This is useless.

We are working with them and helping their economy develop.

In my speech at the 🇺🇳 UN General Assembly, I expressed once more my commitment to the two-state solution.

But the Palestinians need to put an end to terrorism and incitement.

Israel wants peace that will lead to security, not peace that will destabilize the Middle East.

In our meeting of Foreign Ministers last July, we began the dialogue that brought us to this moment.

At the time, no one imagined that there would be a war in Europe.

No one foresaw the energy crisis that followed.

More than ever, we need to cooperate with like-minded countries.

Thanks in part to the work of our diplomats, many members of Congress, and our allies. Going forward, I hope that Americans continue to speak out in support of the kind of strong, principled, fact-based, and unifying leadership that can best secure our country and uphold our responsibilities around the globe.

Follow policy all you want but I'd take North Korea a bit more serious and military equipment surrounding North Korea ready to attack and show rocket man he either gives up weapons or suffers .Just my suggestion but feel a very good one cause where his rockets land in future could be more devastating especially a Nuke

"The story of Israel is a story of *_hope_* a story of human spirit, a story of surviving against all odds.

It’s a story of a nation that built something from nothing, a scattered people returning to our ancient homeland.

But what’s the secret to our strength?

It’s our people, our passion, our spirit of Am Yisrael.

No matter the horrors we faced, we never lost our hope; No matter who tries to dehumanize us, we never lost our humanity; No matter who tries to destroy us, we’ll never be defeated. We will always prevail, because netzach Yisrael lo yeshaker.

So instead of the UN YouTube channel posting a video of the UN Security Council meeting on NK today, it posts a press conference by the US. Biased much?
