I give the floor to the representative of the United States of america. Thank you, mr. President. Exactly one month ago, i came members of the Security Council and declared it was a dark day for the world because of the dangerous and irresponsible actions of north korea. Almost one week ago, i said the days of talking were over and it was time to act. Today, the full Security Council has come together to put the north korean dictator on notice. And this time the council has matched its words and actions. The resolution we have passed s a strong united step torlede toward Holding North Korea accountable. North koreas irresponsible and careless acts have just proved to be quite costly to the regime. This resolution is the single largest economic sanctions package ever leveled against the north korean regime. The price the north korean leadership will pay for its continued nuclear and Missile Development will be the loss of one third of its export and hard currency. This is the most stringent set of sanctions on any country in a generation. These sanctions will cut deep and in doing so will give the north korean leadership a taste of the deprivation they have chosen to inflict on the north Korean People. Nuclear and Ballistic Missiles development is expensive. The revenues the north korean government receives are not going to feeding its people. Instead the north korean regime is literally starving its people and enslaving them in mines and factories in order to fund these Illegal Nuclear programs. Even as famine looms on the horizon, even as the regime continues to ask for International Assistance to cope with devastating floods and a possible drought this year, their displays of aggression take precedence over their own people. Even as we respond to the north Korean Nuclear threats, the United States will continue to stand up for the Human Dignity and rights of the north Korean People. It is the continued suffering of the north Korean People that ould remind Security Council that while that while this resolution is a significant step forward, it is not nearly enough. He threat of an outlaw nuclearized north korean dictatorship nuclearized north korean dictatorship remains. The unimaginable Living Conditions of so many of the north Korean People are unchanged. The north korean regime continues to show that widespread violations of human rights go hand in hand with threats to International Peace and security. I thank each and every one of my colleagues who worked so hard to bring this resolution to a vote. I have previously pointed out that china has a Critical Role to play on matters related to north korea. I want to personally thank the chinese delegation for the important contributions they made to this resolution. While the Security Council has done good work, the members of the Security Council and all u. N. Member states must do more to increase the pressure on north korea. We must Work Together to fully implement the saverageses we impose today and those imposed in past resolutions. The step we take together today is an important one. But we should not fool ourselves into thinking we have solved the problem. Not even close. The north korean threat has not left us. It is rapidly growing more dangerous. We have seen two icbmings fired in just the last month. Further action is required. The United States is taking and will continue to take prudent defensive measures to protect ourselves and our allies. Our annual joint military exercises, for instance, are transparent and defenseoriented. They have been carried out regularly and openly for nearly years. They will continue. Our goal remains a stable orean peninsula at peace years. 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 without nuclear to maximize pressure to north korea to change its ways. Today is a good day at the United Nations. We will need many more to peacefully resolve the crisis that has been created by north koreas dangerous and illegal actions. As i have said before, time is short but today we have taken one step in the right direction. Thank you again to my colleagues and their teams for their action and support towards sending a strong message to the north korean regime. I would like to thank the representative of the United States of america. I now give the floor to the representative of the United Kingdom. Thank you, mr. President. North korea is no longer a threat faced by a single country or a single region. It is a threat that confronts us all. These two tests in the last month were of an Intercontinental Missile extending the threat much further than before to many more countries. In a world where north Korean Missile tests seem routine, let me be clear. This is not business as usual. Make no mission take. As north koreas missile capabilities advance, so too does their contempt and disregard for this Security Council. We must meet this blue ridge rens with clear, unequivocal condemnation and with clear unequivocal consequences. Today, mr. President , we have banned north korean exports of coal, iron ore lead and seafood. These are the lifeline exports that sustain kim jung uns aspirations. Should they continue their pursuit of an illegal Missile Program and a Deadly Nuclear program they will have vastly less resources to do so. Weve also capped the number of Foreign Workers from north korea. Every year, they send thousands of ordinary workers overseas. They often endure poor conditions and long hours and their toil serves to provide critical foreign currency for north korean government coffers. This is undoubtedly a forge of modern slavery and today we have taken the first steps to ending it. This is undoubtedly a the world will now monitor and curtail Work Authorizations for for those who are already a victim of this abusive system, United Kingdom will be able to work towards a complete and to the institutionalized slavery. By acting inflated later flagrant obligation of its legal north korea has chosen the path it now finds a health on. At a minimum, will lead to further suffering for its own put, and that most, catastrophic for the whole world. It does not have to be this way. North korea should forgo provocation. Forgo further escalation. Theres no reason why the people of north korea cant share the normal prosperous life of their neighbors. The world would welcome them not threaten them. Whatchamber once a is once again call on north korea to halt and reverse its nuclear and Missile Development let us once again call on them to prioritize the wellbeing of their people from their illegal in destabilizing military program. North koreas security and wellbeing do not depend on these weapons. They dont depend on farreaching missiles. They dont depend on self the question defiance of the rising world trade to live in constant tension with the world cannot be an interest of north koreas regime, let alone its people. Mr. President , we have taken a step forward. We have spoken with a unified voice that we are ready to act in an unprecedented way in response to north korea. Every country must ensure these numbers measures are adhered live up to our world word. Theres too much at stake. Are like the representatives of the kingdom and now france, you have the floor. Lex mr. President. France welcomes the unanimous about adoption of this. It strengthens sanctions imposed on north korea by the United Nations in the wake of the listic whistle watch occurring this july. We think the United States for their leadership in negotiations, as well as for their unwavering commitment on this, which today more than ever before, is of critical importance. North korea has for near years now been an accelerated also atnuclear the cost of its own people. Milestone inher the north Korea Program by clearly demonstrating. Etermination to this threatens the security of us all. We will not hesitate. This is the global threat. Great and direct threat being posed, the whole of the nonproliferation regime is , as it constitutes the framework for a collective security is system. With this is not an option. Can pose a political strike. This is only possible solution to this crisis. In this context, it is more than ever before urgent to put an end to the north Korean Nuclear Ballistic Program and to bring pyongyang to the negotiating table. Warnings. Peated ofy have to find the whole International Community, given the gravity of the threat looming before us all today. We must pressure them to the maximum extent to halt their programs, and can trump north koreas issues, turn to the negotiating table to bring about a solution. Resolution, beyond the categorical unjustifiable actions on north korea, counsel has two complementary , anotheres put Forward Group of individual sanctions at the heart of being sanctioned. Theres an embargo for all financingncluding the for pyongyangs program. We could have 1 billion for the regime. The scope of the mechanisms of the city council. This also provides an exemption mitigate cautions on the north Korean People not being targeted by these measures. Not onlyresolution is determined to respond this , this a further warning irrational and methodical regime must but be put to an end. North korea is aware that if it continues to escalate and engage we have noion, but to step up. We are unanimously delivering this today after repeatedly stating sanctions are not an end in themselves, but a means to compel pyongyang to return to dialogue. Stubbornness to. Idders no other solutions there are no other solutions. Thank you. I would like to thank the representative of france. Think you very much. Have those allegations delegations. Under the strong leadership of the United States. North koreas advance on these programs are about more significant proliferation challenges of alltime. Ukraine has the strongest terms. Station in the forecast. Targeted sanctions clarified. Ome members thecouncil is open to solution of the Korean Peninsula. And, its intention to avoid hurting the north korean population. Ukraine has always had effective actions against weapons of mass destruction. Today ctive decision the existing threat to the global regime. Comprehensive limitation. Participation by all members to make sense of this. Thank you. Thank the like to person. Now the representative from uruguay. Uruguay devoted in favor of resolution 2371 three we hailed its approval. Unanimous approval. Numbers of the Security Council this man matter is a and obstinacy of north witho continue ballistic Missile Programs. Last july there were two Ballistic Missile want us, intercontinental launches in the same month. To. To launches in the same month. This also undermines the common spirit of coexistence that failed in this organization. Uruguay reiterates again the need for the government to north korea to comply with all resolutions of the security this effectiveness should be understood as the full ,chievement of the sanctions that they are seeking to achieve. Sanctions regime should be designed as an instrument that toows the Security Council medical trade to be effective this should be have use other instruments. The goal of the sanctions regime imposed on north korea should strive for the demonization of the Korean Peninsula and a peaceful manner. This time referring to mr. President what my delegation has artie stated the need to work for this benefit of using tensions on the north Korean Peninsula, and make every possible effort, to return to the passive dialogue. There is a determination of Member States to comply with International Obligations and with sanctions imposed by the Security Council. Their humanitarian consequences on the north korean civilian population. And like to reaffirm that earthquake is committed and determined and working towards solutions. Now the man from china. Thank you mr. President. Using Ballistic Missile chinas opposed to north koreas launching activities. This defies the will of the entire International Community. Realizes that the denuclearization of the peninsula, and the stability of the peninsula and seeking a solution through dialogue and conversation. China has always been firmly opposed to chaos and conflict. All about the fact that and adopted of this resolution. They demonstrate the national regardingis united the Nuclear Issue of the peninsula. There are three major components to this resolution. First, further sanctions against the dprks nuclear and Missile Program. Resolution cannot be hacked negative impact on activities not prohibited by the resolution. Food into military and assistance first it calls for the resumption of this, to finding a solution for the diplomatic and clinical movement. Stresses the importance of deescalating tensions on the peninsula by the party. Believes that these thisutions to implement contained in the resolution earnestly. China has been made tireless efforts to promote the nuclearization of the peninsula and to uphold peace instability in the peninsula. Russia issued a joint statement on the issue of the Korean Peninsula. Both of our two countries put forward a roadmap to resolve s issue on shyness suspension for suspension, for Nuclear Missile activity. A lot of military scale exercises and russias excessive approach. This chinarussia joint initiative is critical. It aims at tackling both symptoms as veteran causes of the problem and is seeking a solution. We hope this will get a response to support here. China has taken notes from the United States a recently indicated again that its not seeking regime change. This will not push through the 38th parallel. It is our hope that there will be a translation politics toward the dprk. The Upper Peninsula is not in the interest of reauthorizing denuclearization here. Deployments of the fad system will not bring a resolution to this Nuclear Testing and missile launching. What it will do is seriously undermine the balance of the sentimental slick security interest of countries and china. China strongly has its concerns to halt the process employment and its relevant. Denuclearization achieving stability. Parties. Terest of the we expect a resolution and taking actions that sanctions found in the peninsula. The parties concerned would immediately take effective actions to prevent those situations. Conditions for the resumption of cost and excerpt efforts to bring back dates for the new asue of the peninsula peaceful solution to dialogue and competitions. Thank you, mr. Resident. I think the ambassador of china for his statement. I give this to the representative of the Russian Federation. Mr. President. The Russian Federation supported city councilof the sanctions resolution 2371, against the dprk. To haltstand the need pyongyangs missile and Nuclear Programs, which is unacceptable to us. We share the feeling of neighboring states in the region. The Security Council<\/a> will now begin its conversation of item 2 of the agenda.

I think the ambassador of china for his statement. I give this to the representative of the Russian Federation<\/a>. Mr. President. The Russian Federation<\/a> supported city councilof the sanctions resolution 2371, against the dprk. To haltstand the need pyongyangs missile and Nuclear Program<\/a>s, which is unacceptable to us. We share the feeling of neighboring states in the region. The Ballistic Missiles<\/a> launched that morning from north korea are one of the major risks to marine and air transport in the to for the likes of coronary civilians. We call upon the north korean government to end this program and return to the nonproliferation regime. As well as to join the Chemical Weapons Convention<\/a> almost towardsnd that progress this of the Korean Peninsula<\/a> will be difficult, so long as to itsk is not a threat own security. The North Koreans<\/a> few the military buildup in the region, which takes on the form of free points maneuvers of the u. S. And allies are to deploy strategic bombers, naval forces, and aircraft carrier. The fatima u. S. Defense. This calls into question the thursday assurances here, the u. S. Is not seeking. This isituation for the military to intervene in the country. However we are concerned that are posed resolution was not supported of the possible military misadventures by people liable to cause a disaster for regional global stability. There additional restrictive cannots against the dprk be this in themselves. They need to be a tool for engaging this country and constructive talks. Thes not possible to settle korean issue through sanctions the resolution must be a part of a political strategy that is yet to be crafted. The dprk must be engaged in the sanctions not to be used for the dprk nor to deliver this situation this especially applies to a legal unilateral restrictions, which strike civilian centers, unrelated to the military Nuclear Program<\/a>s of the country. These significantly deteriorate their Living Conditions<\/a> of the north Korean People<\/a>. Incidentally this is something that agencies are warning about. The process shows that this approach is universal means of settling this instead of diplomatic tools when the sanctions used it is clear to normalize the situation on the Korean Peninsula<\/a>, we needed comprehensive approach. This is Nuclear Tests<\/a> by the dprk, as well as a rejection of stepping up the military infrastructure. And, reduction of this maneuver. Trustis a need to create amongst people in the region. We must abandon the obsolete, and effective algorithm for addressing the Nuclear Program<\/a> and korea, and new we must address this issue through ,nique creative approaches various dialogue and negotiations. That is the thought of the russian and chinese proposals parallel progress. We would like to recall that our country is in drafting a roadmap, which prevents the use of force and proposes the contact so compact solution in the peninsula, including this political divide, without these conditions and through political talks them through the resumption of these party talks. Either idea which warranted attention of the possible starting point to break the deadlock and resume negotiations, we must find a link. One must prompt meaningful dialogue on this issue. The joint commercialchinese statement of the situation on the Korean Peninsula<\/a> dating for july. We would like to withdraw sentences to contentious issues in the resolution. Were finding sanctions against this. It is not providing wmd components to nonstate actors. Theres no direct link between the vacation of Council Resolutions<\/a> 1540 and official thence this reference in context of stations must be ended. This is counterproductive for the revolution itself. More than ever before it is important for a range of issues in the Korean Peninsula<\/a>. Hasction pressure been exhausted. Muste same time, the u. S. Step up efforts in delivering this to the people of the dprk. Noted to the representative from senegal. Quite to president. Mr. Resident. Democratic peoples republic of under negotiations leadership of the United States<\/a> delegation. With this resolution, the Security Council<\/a> has suspended time this year. The third time in less than 10 againstthis measure this is a logical reaction to the cure ration of the countrys ballistic and Missile Program<\/a>. Launch of Ballistic Missiles<\/a> conducted by north korea on the 20th of july this year. Look at the resolutions list of the Security Council<\/a>. As well as the nonproliferation treaty. This presents a serious threat. This is beyond the peninsula this is a guide for maritime front for, and to the thousands of people who live and work in the region. There were no warnings of these launches. Beyond theone way , the maritime jurisdiction of this country they represent a serious threat. Senegal would like to express its very serious concern about his actions and we would echo the words of our secretary general. Its is a clear and verifiable way. Mr. President , the people in senegal are aware of all this, voted in favor. Resolution, then on travel, certain individual entities, and poses bands on the export of , as well as restrictions, access to the banking system. The elevation delegation of senegal will await the report of the council, the Security Council<\/a> has requested from the sanctions committee, pursuant to resolution 1718 to submit this report within 15 days. This should highlight the additional topics related to and conventional weapons, that could be added to the consultant list of the measures that have artie been taken. Element, whichnt led to the possibility of senegal, has to do with the fact is reaffirmolution the concern of the council to avoid negative humanitarian consequences of the measure adopted on the north korean civilian population. The exemptions granted to activities carried out by popular in Diplomatic Missions<\/a> established in the dprk, as well as the exemptions related to humanitarian assistance provided by the United Nations<\/a> warned corrugations with this. Senegal ion of would like to read delegate this is a series of measures taken to respond to challenges are presented by the north Korean Peninsula<\/a>. This must be part and postal but Global Political<\/a> strategy, aiming at bringing the party to negotiations, whether it be to a political solution. I would like to read the attachment of my country to a political and automatic solution to this issue. We would like to support, express our support for these talks to achieve the nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula<\/a> command to promote the region on the basis of respect for each others sovereignty. This is based on the joint declaration of september of 2005.

Sanctions must be accompanied by a dialogue and confidence boosting measures to reach a longterm, sustainable solution, to take steps to prepare for a peaceful, diplomatic, comprehensive solution to the situation on the Korean Peninsula<\/a> and in the wider region. It is though of key importance to reestablish interkorean communication channels. Sweden strongly encourages the dprk to resume contact and. Ooperation at the border this will contribute to increased transparency. We must contribute to finding and wetic openings, welcome all initiatives to facilitate a peaceful and comprehensive solution to dial through dialogue.

Italy welcomes the adoption of the resolution. U. S. Mission for their efforts to bring us this important result today. This is the second time in 2017 messagere is a nuclear for the dprk. This is the time to control this takingel of threat by further action. As demonstrated by the latest intercontinental Ballistic Missile<\/a> launches, which italy condemns in the strongest terms, north korea is advancing illegally. This is an extraordinary situation that calls for the portion at measures. Solution today calls for the most comprehensive sanctions ever applied by the will in many years. Long as the dprk continues to push Nuclear Weapon<\/a>s. We ask for the north korean regime to take immediate measures to dismantle its Nuclear Program<\/a>s. In cooperation with key partners, italy supports additional measures in the European Union<\/a> context. Security Council Concern<\/a> is directed toward the dprk government and not its people, who continue to suffer and are kept away from economic development. Past, we will remain vigilant to make sure these new measures do not have consequences from a humanitarian perspective. On dprk to make credible progress on its obligation to negotiate a peaceful solution as theed in the conclusion of 17th of july. In this regard, italy affirms that sanctions are not an end in themselves, with a means for compliance. Restate allow me to italys unwavering commitment to full and effect of implementation effective of all sections of the dprk. On the sanctions dprk. We will reach out to make sure theyre implemented fully and quickly. To thew give the floor representative of ethiopia. Thank you. Year never of this year and resolution u. N. Resolution, condemning in the strongest terms the missile test conducted by the dprk. This step today, including additional sanction measures as a consequence is proper. We continuent that maintaining the unity of the council in addressing this problem. In our view, this is perhaps the most critical fact are, that we ensure bush factor, that we there a breakthrough most critical factor, that we ensure a breakthrough eventually. Tos is a serious threat regional and International Peace<\/a> and security. It is absolutely important that the dprk immediately sees these provocative actions cease these provocative actions and prevent further escalation. That is why we believe taking the measure of the council today was made unavoidable. And moreoming more apparent that this situation could get out of hand if it is not managed properly. Believe it is important to make additional efforts toward a resolution of a problem that is complex and dangerous. Is undeniable and on this all people must agree. There is a need for channels of communication to avoid the risk of miscalculation and reduce tensions in the Korean Peninsula<\/a>. Thats why we believe there is an urgent need for lasting Diplomatic Solutions<\/a> to the dprk issue. Thes a good thing that resolution takes this into account. This requires that the dprk returns to its International Commitments<\/a> on denuclearization. Finally, the ballistic launch by the dprk reminds us of the fullation that the resolution by the council is more critical now than ever. We support the committee and continue to play a Critical Role<\/a> in that regard. We encourage the committee to further strengthen their engagement with Member States<\/a>. Let me confirm conclude by willfirming that we continue to work toward the full implementation of peaceful solutions, including the one you have adopted today. Thank you. I think the ambassador from from his statement. We support the adoption of this resolution which uses tough sanctions to convince pyongyang to change course. Forresolution leaves room the resumption of dialogue or a six Party Mechanism<\/a> for negotiations. We strongly condemn international Ballistic Missile<\/a> launches of north korea that undermine our International Efforts<\/a> to strengthen regional, and ultimately International Peace<\/a> and security. Such actions are in serious unions of human Security Council<\/a> resolutions and pose a threat to peace. Furthermore, they destabilize the region, as well as globally. The irresponsibility of the dprk negatively affects Nuclear Nonproliferation<\/a> and undermines efforts to ensure a Nuclear Weapon<\/a> free future of the planet. The dprk to abandon Nuclear Ambitions<\/a> for the safety its people and for the benefit of all humankind. The threat of a Nuclear Program<\/a> in the dprk makes it imperative to all parties concerned find a mutual solution through negotiation, a solution to this possible only through dialogue and not through any military strategy. Thank you. I think the representative from kazakhstan and give the floor to the representative of japan. Thank you, mr. President. Japan welcomes the unanimous resolution 371. We would like to express our appreciation to the United States<\/a> for taking the lead. We would also like to thank all other members of the council for their support and hard work to possible. s adoption the need for the Security Council<\/a> to strongly condemn north koreas Ballistic Missile<\/a> grownes has considerably in the last year and a half. Since january 2016, north korea has conduct did to Nuclear Tests<\/a> and launched approximately 40 Ballistic Missiles<\/a>. The sheer number and frequency shows how unprecedented and unacceptable these provocations are. Is the quantity outrageous, the qualitative advancements are also deeply alarming. Sought tomonth, we Ballistic Missile<\/a> launches with intercontinental range. Saw twot to queue Ballistic Missile<\/a> launches with intercontinental range. Ree second was already mo advanced than the first. It was shown on Japanese Television<\/a> and showed that it was visible to the naked eye as it fell off the coast of japan. Haveissile range would covered half the globe. Clear that this is not merely a regional threat but an imminent global threat to all Member States<\/a>. North korea seems determined to continue its nuclear buildup. In march 2016, the Security Council<\/a> responded to the full theear test by adopting most comprehensive resolution to that date, with a clear message to north korea that it must halt its Nuclear Development<\/a>. After the fifth nuclear test in 2016, the Security Council<\/a> sent an Even Stronger<\/a> message via resolution 2321. Nevertheless, north korea has continued to ignore the calls of the International Community<\/a> by obstinately forging ahead with its Nuclear Development<\/a> programs. This led to the adoption of resolution 2371 today. The resolution is impactful and will reduce the revenue of the north korean regime by approximately 1 billion. An urgentution is call for north korea to change its behavior. This point, that north korea is nowhere near dialogue. Meaningful in order to change north koreas behavior, we have no choice but to continue to increase pressure. All members of the united straightust him and renewed commitments to rigorously and thoroughly demonstrate renewed commitments to rigorously and thoroughly implementing the resolution we have just adopted. Addition, Member States<\/a> should work to reach a comprehensive solution to this problem.
