Security Council Strengthens Sanctions on Democratic Republic of Korea, Unanimously Adopting Resolution 2321 (2016)

With Secretary-General Hailing Measures as ‘Toughest Ever’, Some Warn against Military Build-up on Peninsula

The Security Council strengthened its sanctions regime against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea today, condemning that country’s 9 September nuclear test in the strongest terms.

Unanimously adopting resolution 2321 (2016) under Article 41, Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the 15-member Council noted that the 9 September test had been carried out in violation and flagrant disregard of Security Council resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013, 2095 (2013) and 2270 (2016).  It had also challenged the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

Underlining that measures imposed by the resolution were not intended to have adverse humanitarian consequences for the country’s civilian population, the Council decided that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea should not supply, sell or transfer coal, iron and iron ore, and that all States should prohibit the procurement of those materials from that country, with the exception of total coal exports to all Member States not exceeding $53,495,894 or 1,000,866 metric tons, whichever was lower, between today and 31 December; and $400,870,018 or 7,500,000 metric tons per year, whichever was lower, beginning on 1 January 2017.  The text exempted transactions in iron and iron ore intended exclusively for livelihood purposes.

By other terms of the resolution, the Council prohibited Pyongyang from exporting copper, nickel, silver and zinc, new helicopters and vessels, as well as statues.  It decided further that all Member States shall take steps to limit the number of bank accounts held by diplomatic missions and consular posts, as well as diplomats of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea within their respective territories.  Member States should further close existing representative offices, subsidiaries or bank accounts in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea within 90 days, unless required for the delivery of humanitarian assistance.

The Council decided further that all Member States shall suspend scientific and technical cooperation with persons or groups officially sponsored by, or representing, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea except for medical exchanges.  It added 11 individuals to the list of those subject to a travel ban and asset freeze, as well as 10 entities to the list of entities subject to an asset freeze.  The Council also added 11 items to the list of nuclear- and/or missile-usable items and three to the list of chemical/biological weapons-usable items of which Member States should prevent the supply, sale or transfer to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Concerned that the country’s nationals were working in other States to earn hard currency for use in its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, the Council called upon States to exercise vigilance over that practice.  It also reiterated its deep concern over the grave hardships endured by the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and condemned the country’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles at the expense of its own people’s welfare.

Following the Council’s adoption of the resolution, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon noted that the text contained the toughest and most comprehensive sanctions regime ever imposed by the Council.  He cautioned, however, that since such measures should be anchored in a comprehensive strategy for lasting peace and security, emphasizing the importance of commitment to a peaceful diplomatic and political solution.  The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea must reverse course and move onto the path of denuclearization, he emphasized, reiterating his call on the authorities in Pyongyang to engage with the international community in addressing the grave human rights situation in the country and improving their people’s living conditions.

The Republic of Korea’s representative described Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons programme as the most serious threat to the non-proliferation regime, saying that, by adopting the resolution, the international community had made clear that it would never tolerate its pursuit of that course.  If the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea acquired nuclear capabilities, the balance of the status quo would be broken, he cautioned, and countries in the region would have to consider how to restore that balance, either by matching Pyongyang’s capabilities or by coming up with other ways to do so.  Exerting non-military pressure on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was the right way to go, he said.

Japan’s representative strongly condemned Pyongyang’s repeated violations of Security Council resolutions.  “This resolution does not impose sanctions for the sake of sanctions,” he emphasized, adding that they constituted a tool to correct its course of action.  Urging the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions and return to the negotiating table, he said that sincere commitment and concrete steps towards denuclearization would lead to resumed dialogue.  For that to happen, the international community had no option but to increase the pressure, he said, pointing out that today’s resolution closed loopholes and introduced additional measures, including drastic limitations on coal imports and additional sectoral bans aimed at cutting revenues.

The representative of the United States, recognizing China’s efforts in working closely with her delegation in negotiating the “rigorous and important” resolution, said the text went after the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s illicit schemes, including through restrictions on hard currency and the export of monuments, and by making it harder for Pyongyang to use its diplomats to advance its nuclear programmes.  However, the door remained open to negotiations, she said, adding that the United States and the Council would be ready to engage.

China’s representative, while stressing the need to seek a negotiated solution within the six-party framework, noted that certain parties had increased their military presence and scaled up military exercises on and around the Korean Peninsula, thereby intensifying tensions.  China strongly opposed the deployment of anti-missile systems on the Peninsula, he said, describing the current situation as “sensitive, complex and dire”, and urging the parties concerned to avoid actions that might exacerbate tensions.  He urged them to push forward in parallel negotiations on denuclearization, and on a peace treaty, within the framework of the six-party talks.

The Russian Federation’s representative underlined that the situation in the Korean Peninsula should not provide a pretext for enhancing military capacities, and that the resolution could not be used to smother the economy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and to exacerbate the country’s humanitarian situation.

Also speaking today were representatives of Spain, New Zealand, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela, United Kingdom, Egypt, Malaysia, France, Angola and Senegal.

The meeting began at 9:05 a.m. and ended at 10:25 a.m.

Action on Draft Resolution

The Council unanimously adopted resolution 2321 (2016).

BAN KI-MOON, Secretary-General of the United Nations, said the Council had taken a strong action on one of the most enduring and pressing peace and security challenges of the present time:  the nuclear and ballistic-missile activities of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.  That country had conducted two nuclear tests and at least 25 launches using ballistic missile technology since January, he recalled.  It must be assumed that, with each test or launch, it continued to make technological advances in its pursuit of a military nuclear capability, he cautioned.

Noting that today’s resolution contained the toughest and most comprehensive sanctions regime ever imposed by the Council, he said targeted sanctions mattered, and the latest round represented the clear and unified will of the international community.  However, sanctions were only as effective as their implementation, and because some States might lack the capacity to enforce them, international capacity-building partnerships would be needed.  Since sanctions should be anchored in a comprehensive strategy for lasting peace and security, commitment to a peaceful, diplomatic and political solution was also required, he emphasized.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea must reverse its course and move onto the path of denuclearization, he continued, stressing the importance of not forgetting the country’s acute humanitarian needs.  International humanitarian assistance remained vital in safeguarding the lives of millions in need, he said, reiterating his call on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea authorities to engage with the international community in addressing the grave human rights situation and improving their people’s living conditions.

Statements

SAMANTHA POWER (United States) said the Council was gathered because of dangerous choices made by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, including its having tested nuclear devices twice in 2016.  That country was determined to pose a potent threat to Member States and to international peace and security, she warned.  While recognizing China for having worked closely with the United States in negotiating today’s “rigorous and important” resolution, she acknowledged that the Council had been divided on many issues lately, but the unanimous adoption of new sanctions demonstrated its will.  The resolution went after the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s illicit schemes and broke new ground in three ways:  restrictions on hard currency; on the export of monuments; and making it harder for the country to use diplomats in advancing its nuclear programmes.

“An arms dealer with a diplomatic passport is still an arms dealer,” she continued, adding that the resolution also imposed measures to restrict the flow of illicit materials into the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.  Noting that the country had made a choice to carry out systematic violations of the human rights of its own people, she said it sought total control of organized social life through such tactics as repression of the freedom of expression.  When Governments violated the human rights of their own people, they demonstrated their disdain for norms that ensured the security of the international community.  The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea must respect and ensure the welfare and inherent dignity of its people, as well as those of abducted Japanese people, she said, emphasizing that defence of human dignity was a basic demand.  The door remained open to negotiations, and the United States, as well as the Council, would be ready to engage, she said.

KORO BESSHO (Japan), strongly condemning the repeated violation of Security Council resolutions by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, urged that country to abide by its international commitments.  “This resolution does not impose sanctions for the sake of sanctions,” he emphasized, adding that it was a tool to correct its course of action.  In that regard, Japan urged the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions and to return to the negotiating table.  Sincere commitment and concrete steps towards denuclearization would lead to resumed dialogue, he said, adding that, for that change to happen, the international community had no option but to increase the pressure.  The resolution closed loopholes and introduced additional measures, he said, noting that drastic limitations on coal imports and additional sectoral bans aimed at cutting revenues would have an impact on nuclear and ballistic missile advances.  At the same time, sanctions were not meant to target ordinary citizens, he stressed.

ROMÁN OYARZUN MARCHESI (Spain) said that, since violations had continued since the adoption of resolution 2270 (2016), today’s text contained significant additional measures.  The relevant Sanctions Committee, chaired by Spain, had worked tirelessly to implement previously adopted measures without exacerbating the humanitarian situation in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, he said, expressing trust that the latest resolution would also ensure the same.  Emphasizing that sanctions were not an objective in themselves, he said it was up to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to respect international legality.  Nothing would give more satisfaction than the disappearance of the Sanctions Committee as a result of that country beginning to comply with international law, he added.

VLADIMIR SAFRONKOV (Russian Federation) said his delegation supported the resolution in response to the fifth nuclear test by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.  Although that country had ignored the demands of the international community, the resolution was not aimed at ending the possibility of relaunching negotiations and seeking a political solution, he said, emphasizing it could not be used to smother the country’s economy or exacerbate the humanitarian situation.  Moreover, the situation in the Korean Peninsula should not provide a pretext for enhancing military capacities, he warned, strongly condemning the deployment of anti-missile systems there.  The Russian Federation called upon all parties to demonstrate restraint, not to exacerbate the situation and to seek ways out of the crisis.

LIU JIEYI (China), recalling that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea had conducted a nuclear test on 9 September, in defiance of objections by the international community, said today’s resolution reaffirmed the need to safeguard commitments to seek a negotiated solution to the issue within the six-party framework.  While the measures were not intended to have negative effects on the humanitarian situation in the country, certain parties had increased their military presence and scaled up military exercises, intensifying tension on the Korean Peninsula.  Emphasizing China’s opposition to the deployment of anti-missile systems there, he described the current situation as sensitive, complex and dire and urged the parties to avoid actions that might exacerbate tensions.  The six-party talks should be relaunched as soon as possible, he said, adding that the parties should push forward in parallel negotiations on denuclearization as well as a peace treaty, within the framework of the six-party talks.

GERARD VAN BOHEMEN (New Zealand) recalled that the Council had met many times over the course of 2016 to discuss the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s ongoing succession of nuclear and ballistic-missile tests.  Considering the seriousness of those developments, it was appropriate that today’s resolution provided for some of the strongest United Nations sanctions ever imposed.  New Zealand had co-sponsored the text because of its concern that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s dangerous and provocative behaviour arguably posed the most significant threat to the Asia-Pacific region’s security, he emphasized.  Also, New Zealand’s support of the resolution reflected its commitment to the nuclear non-proliferation regime.  Its coordinated and comprehensive implementation by Member States was one of the strongest signals the international community could send the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea that its continued proliferation activities and disregard for international obligations would not be tolerated, and that a change of course was urgently needed.

VOLODYMYR YELCHENKO (Ukraine) welcomed the unanimous adoption of the resolution, adding that it was a comprehensive and balanced document that strengthened the existing regime and reinforced it.  It confirmed the Council’s intention to avoid affecting the “North Korean” people.  Ukraine had always been committed to multilateral action against weapons of mass destruction, he stated, and today’s vote reaffirmed the Council’s firm stance of responding to global proliferation.  He expressed hope that the resolution would contribute to denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

CRISTINA CARRIÓN (Uruguay) welcomed the resolution’s unanimous adoption which could be a deterrent to the situation in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.  He reiterated his condemnation of nuclear tests and continued provocation by that country which escalated tension in the Korean Peninsula and was a violation of international law, Security Council resolutions and a serious threat to international peace and security.  Expressing his country’s commitment to strengthening the Non-Proliferation Treaty as a cornerstone of the non-proliferation regime, he urged the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to abandon existing nuclear programmes in a complete, verifiable and irreversible way, to go back to the Treaty, as well as the safeguards regime of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).  Uruguay considered the implementation of sanctions a tool by the Council to achieve a desired end, but should not be seen as a punishment.

HENRY ALFREDO SUÁREZ MORENO (Venezuela), noting his vote in favour of the resolution following the nuclear test, stressed that the holding of other nuclear tests in 2016 had led to Security Council resolutions and has affected the nuclear non-proliferation regime.  The Security Council must step up efforts in promoting dialogue between parties to contribute to a negotiated solution.  Its goal should be denuclearization through a negotiated political solution.  He urged the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to fulfil its obligations under relevant Security Council resolutions and appealed to all parties to act in a cautious way.  As well, the Council had to ensure measures of the resolution did not have a humanitarian impact on the civilian population, he said, expressing concern at restrictions imposed on basic goods could affect the population.  He reiterated his appeal to Member States that had any influence on the issue to demonstrate the will to find an acceptable solution for all parties, establish a climate of trust, and relaunch the multiparty talks to resolve the differences on the Korean Peninsula.

MATTHEW RYCROFT (United Kingdom) said that, until there was genuine commitment on the part of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to change course, sanctions would remain.  Since the adoption of resolution 2270 (2016), the Democratic People's Republic of Korea had continued on its course of provocations, which, in 2016, had reached an unprecedented number.  The agreed-upon mechanism on coal exports denied the country one quarter of its foreign income that could not be used for further nuclearization.  The resolution also contained a condemnation of proliferation choices at the expense of the welfare of the country’s people.  The resolution was not intended to have adverse humanitarian consequences or to affect negatively the work of organizations working in the humanitarian field.  The Democratic People's Republic of Korea had a clear choice:  continue destabilizing behaviour or to begin to build a new future for its people.

AMR ABDELLATIF ABOULATTA (Egypt) said the unanimous adoption sent a strong signal that the latest behaviour of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea would not be accepted.  The latest nuclear test represented a violation of Council resolutions and undermined the non-proliferation regime.  It strengthened sanctions against the country, but took into account the political process and the importance of resumption of the six-party talks.  The sanctions should not have an adverse impact on the work of embassies in Pyongyang.  Egypt had always warned against double standards in non-proliferation, he said, noting that a single country in his region was not a member of the non-proliferation regime, a situation which was not unacceptable.  He urged the Council to carry out its responsibility in that respect.

RAMLAN BIN IBRAHIM (Malaysia) underscored the need for a comprehensive solution that would serve the interests of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the humanitarian needs of its people and urged that country to return to the negotiating table and resume peaceful dialogue under the six-party talks framework.  The text’s focus on safeguarding humanitarian exemptions was a crucial element, he said, noting that it would prevent unintended consequences against the livelihoods and humanitarian situation.  In that regard, Security Council resolution 2270 (2016) must not be a pretext to disrupt diplomatic access and further impede the conduct of diplomatic and humanitarian activities.

FRANÇOIS DELATTRE (France) described the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s fifth nuclear test, conducted last September, as a very grave violation of the non-proliferation regime.  It was one of the main challenges facing the Security Council and one of its major priorities.  Welcoming the unanimous adoption of resolution 2321 (2016), he said it was a decisive step in the enhancement of sanctions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.  It sent a message about the international community’s unity in punishing any unacceptable questioning of the non-proliferation regime, and its goal was a radical policy change in Pyongyang.  “We hope this unity will exist on every occasion when the non-proliferation regime should be in question,” he said.  The resolution represented a significant evolution in the non-proliferation regime, providing a strict framework with regard to the export of coal and to the banning and transfer of certain assets.  It identified new tools and enhanced constraints on the use of diplomatic means for nuclear ends.  While condemning the regime’s logic in using existing resources to fuel its nuclear programmes, he emphasized that the sanctions were not an end in themselves, and that it was now up to Pyongyang to abandon them.

JULIO HELDER MOURA LUCAS (Angola) appealed to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to heed the international community’s message by negotiating an end to its nuclear programmes, concentrating its resources on the social development of its people and denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.  Becoming an international pariah was detrimental to the country’s people, he added.

FODÉ SECK (Senegal) said that in strengthening the sanctions on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Council had demonstrated that it was united in its will to make the authorities of that country give up their nuclear programme, which violated the non-proliferation regime.  Emphasizing that sanctions were a means, and not an end, he said the humanitarian aspect of the new measures was quite telling, adding that their scope called for technical assistance and for building the capacity to facilitate effective implementation by the international community.  Emphasizing Senegal’s commitment to full respect for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, as well as the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, he called for the establishment of nuclear-weapon-free zones throughout the world, including the Middle East, stressing that only through total nuclear disarmament could that goal be achieved.

OH JOON (Republic of Korea) said that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s nuclear weapons programme had become the most serious threat to the non-proliferation regime.  By adopting today’s resolution, the international community had made clear that it would never tolerate its pursuit of that course, he said, adding that the robust measures contained in the text reinforced the sanctions regime.  The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea had spent an estimated $200 million on its nuclear and ballistic-missile programme in the course of 2016, which could have been used on food for its people, he noted, adding that it was paying a heavy price for its nuclear programme at the expense of its own people.

Describing Pyongyang’s nuclear programme as multifaceted, he said it was a non-proliferation issue that posed the question as to whether the non-proliferation regime could be maintained, whether the international community could stand up to the challenge, or whether it would let the issue go.  The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s nuclear programme was also an issue of international security, he said, warning that, if the country acquired nuclear capabilities, the balance of the status quo would be broken.  Other countries in the region must consider how to restore that balance, either by matching Pyongyang’s capabilities or by coming up with other ways by which to restore it.  Applying pressure on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea through non-military measures was the right way to go, he emphasized.

Resolution

The full text of resolution 2321 (2016) reads as follows:

The Security Council,

Recalling its previous relevant resolutions, including resolution 825 (1993), resolution 1540 (2004), resolution 1695 (2006), resolution 1718 (2006), resolution 1874 (2009), resolution 1887 (2009), resolution 2087 (2013), resolution 2094 (2013), and resolution 2270 (2016), as well as the statements of its President of 6 October 2006 (S/PRST/2006/41), 13 April 2009 (S/PRST/2009/7) and 16 April 2012 (S/PRST/2012/13),

Reaffirming that proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, as well as their means of delivery, constitutes a threat to international peace and security,

Expressing its gravest concern at the nuclear test by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (‘the DPRK’) on 9 September 2016 in violation of resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013) and 2270 (2016), and at the challenge such a test constitutes to the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (‘the NPT’) and to international efforts aimed at strengthening the global regime of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and the danger it poses to peace and stability in the region and beyond,

Underlining once again the importance that the DPRK respond to other security and humanitarian concerns of the international community,

Underlining also that measures imposed by this resolution are not intended to have adverse humanitarian consequences for the civilian population of the DPRK,

Expressing serious concern that the DPRK has continued to violate relevant Security Council resolutions through repeated launches and attempted launches of ballistic missiles, and noting that all such ballistic missile activities contribute to the DPRK’s development of nuclear weapons delivery systems and increase tension in the region and beyond,

Expressing continued concern that the DPRK is abusing the privileges and immunities accorded under the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations,

Expressing great concern that the DPRK’s prohibited arms sales have generated revenues that are diverted to the pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles while DPRK citizens have unmet needs,
