Ms. DiCarlo
The United States welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 1874 (2009). The resolution provides a strong and united international response to North Korea’s test of a nuclear device.
The message of the resolution is clear. North Korea’s behaviour is unacceptable to the international community, and the international community is determined to respond. North Korea should return without conditi…
Mr. Zhang Yesui
The Security Council has just adopted resolution 1874 (2009) on the nuclear test conducted by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. On 25 May, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea conducted another nuclear test in disregard of the common objection of the international community. The Chinese Ministry for Foreign Affairs issued a statement expressing its firm opposition.
We strongly urge…
Mr. Takasu
Japan welcomes the adoption of a firm and strong resolution on the nuclear test by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Resolution 1874 (2009) represents the strong condemnation of and deep concern of the international community over this irresponsible act.
The nuclear test by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, coupled with its ballistic missile technology, constitutes a grave thre…
Mr. Parham
We have just passed a tough new resolution aimed at stopping North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. Its unanimous adoption shows that the international community is united in condemning North Korea’s continued proliferation activities and its attempts to disrupt regional security.
The resolution is clear in its condemnation of North Korea’s nuclear test of 25 May and demands tha…
Mr. Heller
The resolution that we have just adopted constitutes a clear message that the actions carried out by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are not acceptable to the international community and that they jeopardize international peace and security. The fuller and more cohesive the participation of the members of the Security Council, the stronger this message is. This ought to be the norm in t…
Mr. Le Luong Minh
As a party to all major multilateral treaties on nuclear disarmament, including and especially the Treaty on the Non- Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, Viet Nam is faithful to the objective of non-proliferation of nuclear
weapons, considering it to be not only an effective platform for achieving the final goal of totally eliminating nuclear wea…
Mr. Dabbashi
Libya believes that weapons of mass destruction, particularly nuclear weapons, cannot constitute a source of security. They pose a threat both to the States possessing them and to other States as well. Therefore, we believe that the world will not enjoy security until we manage to eliminate all stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction in all States, and that non-nuclear-weapon States should refr…
Mr. Rugunda
From the outset Uganda has underscored the importance of the Security Council speaking with one voice on events in the Korean peninsula following the launch of a rocket by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea last March. We therefore welcome the unanimity of the Council on this matter.
Uganda voted in favour of resolution 1874 (2009) not only because it is important to achieve nonproliferat…
Mr. Churkin
The Russian delegation welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 1874 (2009), which condemns the nuclear test undertaken by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and, in that regard, introduces additional restrictive measures with regard to North Korea.
The resolution adopted is, on the one hand, an appropriate response to the violation by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea of the…
Mr. Ripert
France welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 1874 (2009). The international community has sent a very strong message to North Korea through the Council.
For years, North Korea has chosen a dangerous path. It has built up a clandestine nuclear programme, whose exclusively military aims are evident. It has also developed a ballistic missile programme that increases the its nuclear threat. …
Mr. Tiendrébéogo
Burkina Faso, which is a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and actively advocates the timely entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, voted in favour of resolution 1874 (2009), which we have just adopted, because it firmly believes in the need for a world free of nuclear arms.
While our principled position is that all States have the right to d…
Mr. Mayr-Harting
Austria has condemned the nuclear test of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea of 25 May 2009 in the strongest terms as a direct violation of resolution 1718 (2006). The unanimous adoption of the present resolution is a clear, fully appropriate and unequivocal response by the Council and the international community to the nuclear test of the Democratic People’s Republic and the threat it pos…
Mr. Vilović
Croatia also condemned the conducting of nuclear missile tests by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. We saw it as a threat to international peace and security and therefore we supported the unanimous response on the part of the Security Council.
We call upon the Democratic People’s Republic to return to the framework of the Six-Party Talks and to revoke its position on withdrawing from t…
Mr. Urbina
Costa Rica considers it of the greatest importance that the Security Council has reached the requisite unanimity to respond to a major challenge to international peace and security. We have confirmed this perception with the unequivocal backing for the resolution we have just adopted. It seems to my delegation that the text voted on by the Council makes measured use of the instruments at the disp…
The President
I shall now make a statement in my national capacity.
Turkey is deeply concerned by the nuclear test conducted by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on 25 May. We believe that the nuclear test was a clear violation of Security Council resolutions 1695 (2006) and 1718 (2006). Earlier, Turkey also expressed concern at the launch carried out by the Democratic People’s Republic on 5 April. We…
Mr. Park In-kook
On 25 May this year, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea conducted a nuclear test, violating relevant resolutions and statements by the Security Council and defying repeated warnings by the international community. The action taken by the Democratic People’s Republic poses a serious threat to peace and
stability on the Korean peninsula and beyond. Furthermore, the overt declaration by the …
The President
There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council will remain seized of the matter.
