UN Votes For N Korean Sanctions [message #1085222]

The UN Security Council has unanimously voted to impose sanctions on
North Korea following recent missile tests.

The resolution demands UN members bar exports and imports of
missile-related materials to North Korea and that it halt its
ballistic missile programme.

The move comes after North Korea test-fired seven missiles including a
long-range Taepodong-2 - believed to be capable of reaching Alaska.

North Korea has said it "totally rejects" the resolution.

'Unambiguous message'

Japan had produced its draft resolution for the 15-member Security
Council just days after tests earlier this month.

To avert a veto from China, the resolution does not mention Chapter
Seven of the UN Charter, which is legally binding and can authorise
sanctions or even military action.

It requires all UN members to prevent imports from or exports to North
Korea of materials that could be used in weapons of mass destruction.

The resolution underlines the need for North Korea "to show restraint
and refrain from any action that might aggravate tension".

And it calls for Pyongyang to return to six-nation talks over its
nuclear programme.

Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso urged North Korea to obey the vote.

"The council has acted swiftly and robustly in response to the
reckless and condemnable act of the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea," Japanese Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Shintaro Ito said.

The UK and US ambassadors to the UN described the resolution as strong
and binding.

US Ambassador John Bolton said it sent "an unequivocal, unambiguous
and unanimous message to Pyongyang".

He said that if North Korea did not comply with the resolution, the
council could consider further action.

Missile moratorium

The country drew worldwide condemnation and sparked intense
negotiations following its missile tests on 4 and 5 July.

The missiles failed and fell into the Sea of Japan.

It was Pyongyang's first test of a long-range missile since a
self-imposed moratorium in 1999.

The last time North Korea tested a long-range missile was in 1998,
when it launched a Taepodong-1 over northern Japan.

Didn't NK say any sanctions would be considered an "Act of War" or did
