In the issue 190093 not to withdraw from the city of proliferation but 24 years later the challenge has defied resolution. But the prk activities and has adopted new sanctions 11 times in emergency consultations in the year 2016. With 30 launches of Ballistic Missile technology with the nuclear Ballistic MissileProgram Using that technology to include that intermediaterange as well as the placement this test is a clear violation of Security Council resolution but notification and advance our contrary to the standards those that were prevented of these activities and to be prevented from promulgating these areas of responsibility. The International AtomicEnergy Agency can verify the prk Nuclear Program the agency continues to monitor and consistent and with that in richmond facility. Analysis shows a Nuclear Test Site that needs to be maintained of the nuclear test explosion. Stressing Nuclear Deterrence at the seventh congress dprk leaders as described as a responsible Nuclear Weapons state that the commission while reaffirming his support that the dprk stated is the policy of our state. The dprk is unique country conducting nuclear test with the successful launch continues to make advances to the nuclear military capability. Mr. President i can done in the strongest terms of the relevance of the Security Council resolution that dprk in pursuit of a Nuclear Weapon program it is the science of demands from the council with International Security with the nonproliferation efforts with that military escalation in the region i am concerned by the possibility of the activities increased tensions further to maintain unity as a peaceful solution for the dprk to comply at the same time the International Community members manager and review tensions they get from these Communication Channels our conflict in northeast asia with the gdp with those global applications. We need to abolish the conflict this means the dprk from further testing and with the resumption of the dialogue from military to military of these understandings. So i take note of those Political Solutions and those efforts by the celts avers to have a peaceful and comprehensive solution that are working to reduce tensions from a proposal from targeted sanctions with secretarygeneral recommended to assist in any way possible that welcome guidance of the system in this regard. I welcome the counsels understanding of the 21st of march we saw the need temporary these documents with the ngos operating in the dprk with those Vulnerable People the people of dprk need our generosity and help also calling on the authorities to call of the humanrights mechanism to improve the Living Conditions welcoming a visit for the persons of disabilities to discuss in his chamber that humanrights would not only protect the people but the longterm security and have a bite to conclude by outlining our party to be committed to pursuing peace with a denuclearized Korean Peninsula. Thank you very much. Banks for that helpful briefing and will make a statement in my capacity as secretary of state of the United States figure for the opportunity to address the Security Council according to the resolution 23 to one of the stated objective north koreas abandonment of the Ballistic Missile program over the past 20 years those diplomatic efforts have been used to halt the efforts have been failed only by dismantling them can there be peace and stability and Economic Prosperity for all of North East Asia with each destination north korea pushes northeast asia and the world into conflict threat of an attack is real likely only a matter time before north korea develops the capability to strike the u. S. Mainland indeed it has repeatedly claimed plans to conduct such a strike United States cannot stand by march and other members of this council that are in striking distance having for years to display a pattern of behavior including 2321 to erode the global progress there is no reason to think that north korea will change its behavior under the current multilateral sanctions framework. For too long the International Community has been reactive those days must come to an end now with the most pressing security issue of the world will bring catastrophic consequences we have said this before the policy and strategic patience is over. The more we buy our time the sooner be will run out in light of the growing threat to put pressure on north korea meyer urged the council to act before north korea does to adopt a new approach to increase pressures on the regime with their campaign United States embarks honor own National Security considerations by many nations to are concerned for their own security and create clings to those capabilities of which it has no need. We do not desire to threaten the people or destabilize the Asia Pacific Region we have withdrawn our own Nuclear Weapons from south korea and often a is the attempt to deal escalate the situation to normalize relations since 1995 in estates has provided 1. 3 billion of aid to north korea will accord to receive those contributions once dprk dismantles their programs for its own sake must dismantle the nuclear Missile Program to achieve the security and Economic Development and International Recognition that it seeks and must understand it will never follow recklessness but must take concrete steps the illegal weapons programs before we can even consider talks said propose all nations take these reactions and call on you and the Member States to fully implement the commitments they have made this includes all measures required resolutions 2321. Those that have not fully enforced these resolution discredit the body. One countries to suspend relations exploit its its privileges by constraining the diplomatic activity in light of the recent actions normal relations are simply not acceptable third regressed increase the isolation to levy new sanctions on those individuals and tight and those already in place United States will have people own up to their laps to correct their behavior themselves but we will not hesitate with those individuals supporting the dprk will be elected these. Widest sever those relationships like call to suspend the flow of guest workers and impose a ban on the imports especially coal. We must all do our share with china accounting for 90 of trade china alone has economic leverage the u. S. And china have held very productive exchanges on this issue will afford to further actions to build on what china has already done all options for responding to future provocation must remain on the table. Leverage will be backed up to counteract aggression with military action if necessary. We much prefer a negotiation to the problem but we are committed to put our allies against north korea aggression. The new Pressure Campaign will be swiftly implemented in painful to north korean interest realize some nations have been a net positive may be disinclined but the catastrophic effects of the north Korean Nuclear strike away any economic benefit we must be willing to face the hard truth and make hard choices right now to prevent that disastrous outcome of the future business as usual is not an option there is also a moral debate countries must know by now that means enabling cruelty and suffering to feed billions of dollars into a program does not need while letting its own people starve the pursuit of Nuclear Weapons test not serve its own National Security bypass the committee of nations help us to protect human dignity. One of my first trips the secretary of state i looked across the tmz of north korea frozen in time while the world sees that cleaning building starvation has swept this land for over 60 years even though those present conditions is bleak United States believes there is a future for north korea the first ups toward a more hopeful future will affect other stakeholders for years they have been dictating the terms and it is time for us to retake control of the situation. We ask the members of this council to employment a new strategy to denuclearize north korea. Resume my function as president of the council now to his excellency. I will begin by expressing my a sincere appreciation of the denuclearization of pretoria also id like to thank the secretary general for his informative briefing and to reach a new level since january 2016 and has conducted two nuclear test with 30 Ballistic Missile launches it isnt just hypothetical for ordinary citizens on the fifth of march north korea launched those Ballistic Missiles this was noted chance to notice that could have spent catastrophic for the sea vessels and aircraft. And these launches bid to be a provocation of the north korean media reports those responsible that those were involved it is there increasingly important for those countries in the region to talk about peace and security mr. President another is time for the commitments north korea has made of the denuclearization of the past north korea with china and japan and the Russian Federation and estates poets unanimously over the peninsula of the Six Party Talks both parties to this position there is no doubt dialogue is necessary to achieve the denuclearization of the peninsula however and the the Current Situation with the nuclear embolus dismissal it is clearly not possible to bring them back to the negotiating table famous send a strong message coming at a high price that no Bright Future awaits without denuclearization so with this in mind putting pressure on north korea with vigorous implementation with the Security Council resolution to present those measures which go beyond the obligation from the Security Council resolution to the flow of funds with the exports and imports. But then has actively assisted for those countries and of the effectiveness of the Security Council the stage and allow itself to become a loophole japan is on all Member States that has not already done so with the implementation reports to the north koreas sanction committee, as required by the secretary council resolution. Those with the nuclear test should be met promptly with an even more stringent resolution of the Security Council to defiantly dismiss that resolution and refuse to be bound by these obligations because of the consequences of because of the pursuit of Nuclear Weapons extends the welfare and basic need of the people in north korea. In a past north korea infiltrated japan to abduct those including issuing his 13 years old. They have been stolen in families torn apart. With the utmost importance that undermines that will sovereignty of japan with the life of our citizens and it is not limited to the japanese. With that community of the human rights allow north korea to take action to have the support and understanding but regrettably that possibility from north korea is high. The council must have such actions leading to vigorous response is fighting International Community. To demonstrate with concrete action to ban looks forward to look closely on this matter. I thank his excellency. I now give the floor to the minister for affairs of some of all. Translator thanks to the ambassadors and ladies and gentlemen first of all, of a bike to think you to take the initiative to organize this debate of Nuclear Nonproliferation also thanks to the security general with a statement to enrich our discussions led the question of Nuclear Disarmament with the global priorities of the General Assembly with the risk of humankind for military purposes not just military reduction in this damn from the use of Nuclear Weapons and then to be sure future generations in a world free from thermonuclear disaster along with the clearly identified threats to seek new danger of rapid progress in technology in International Trade those nuclear test carried out by the dprk dinner 2016 that is a serious violation under resolution 1718 from 2009 and 2321. These actions are clearly in the programs of the area with the determination to acquire a nuclear force. But the population on the peninsula to have a violation senator all calls are the dprk to respect its International Obligations and that should be strengthening those sanctions and with these measures didnt always manage with the military mission. That is not prevented the expansion of the Nuclear Capabilities which continues to flagrantly violate the Security Council. In then to respect that obligation of the Security Council with the 15th anniversary simile andrew 1874 mike gentry is currently finalizing which we will send to the chairman of the committee. In with that respect of obligation before i conclude for your commitment with the diplomatic consultation to the crisis with that world affairs. With that historic commitment to put various threat from the dprk bank for your kind attention. End with the minister of Foreign Affairs. For. Mr. President the continued escalation in the recent period with the International Community and to be highly likable lately negative likely but there is no such painful lessons in history to be put on high alert. The council in is necessary. Thanks for your briefing to the council to form the consensus in the Security Council resolutions to promote peace talks to negotiate the solution. It is clear cut we must stick to the following mans state committed to the denuclearization for longterm peace instability and what we must accomplish to safeguard the regime matter what happens we should never waver to this end chinas position of the dprk research of nuclearweapons remain in research them to stop their activities comeback to the denuclearization meanwhile because other parties concerned of those political decisions to Work Together to continue the denuclearization of the peninsula. We engaged in dialogue and negotiation in three documents, in particular the 19th statement for Nuclear Program center realization of peace. The joint statement still carries major positive significance and has been reaffirmed and acknowledged. These dialogues and negotiations came to a halt in we have a Nuclear Development process, therefore we have all participated in great effort to seeking a political sentience. [inaudible] china is not a focal point of the problem under the peninsula. And is the key for solving the Nuclear Issue. [inaudible] china has over the years made efforts and played a unique role in negotiate
