Mrs. Thomas-Greenfield
The United States would like to express its appreciation to Council members for this mandate renewal and for the important discussions that brought us here.
The Panel of Experts of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006) continues to be indispensable in investigating the unlawful weapons programme and sanctions evasion efforts of the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. D…
Mr. Zhang Jun
China supports the Panel of Experts of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006) in performing its duties in strict adherence to its mandate. There is a need for the Panel to improve its working methods and carry out its work in an objective and impartial manner with a view to genuinely helping Member States to better implement Council resolutions relating to the Democratic Peo…
Ms. Evstigneeva
Russia supported the adoption of resolution 2627 (2022), extending the mandate of the Panel of Experts of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006) on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
At the same time, we regret that the penholders were not able to consider our wishes and theproposals of our colleagues on preventing leaks of expert reports and on the investigation of…
Ms. Juul
First, allow me to thank the United States, as penholder of resolution 2627 (2022), on the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006), for facilitating the process that led to the renewal of the mandate of the 1718 Committee’s Panel of Experts for one year. That process has given all Council members an opportunity to contribute, and we appreciate the fact that consensus has been rea…
Mr. De la Fuente Ramírez
Mexico supports the renewal of the mandate of the Panel of Experts of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006). Its work has been fundamental in monitoring the implementation of Security Council resolutions related to the nuclear and ballistic missile programmes of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
However, we regret that despite the efforts of the penholder of resol…
The President
I now give the floor to Ms. DiCarlo.
Ms. DiCarlo: The State news agency of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has reported that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea launched a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at approximately 2.34 p.m. local time on 24 March. The missile, the so-called Hwasong-17, was reportedly launched from Sunan, an area north of Pyongyang. it…
The President
I thank Ms. DiCarlo for her briefing.
I now give the floor to those Council members who wish to make statements.
Mrs. Thomas-Greenfield
I thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo for her briefing.
The United States, along with Albania, France, Ireland, Norway and the United Kingdom, calls for today’s open meeting on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the first since 2017, because of the urgency of the escalating situation.
Let me be crystal clear: the United States absolutely condemns the Democratic People’s Republic of Ko…
Mr. Hoxha
I thank Under-Secretary- General DiCarlo for her update. We are sad that it confirms our assessment that the Pyongyang regime is continuously, stubbornly, unilaterally and dangerously escalating tension in the region, threatening its neighbours, snubbing the Security Council and violating the Council’s resolutions. This is intolerable.
This is the thirteenth missile launch this year in the very …
Mr. Gallagher
I thank Under-Secretary- General DiCarlo for her useful briefing.
Ireland condemns yesterday’s launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. We are gravely concerned about the ongoing, intensive and escalatory series of launches by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea since the end of last year, in violation of Security Council resoluti…
Mr. De Rivière
I thank Ms. DiCarlo for her briefing.
France condemns in the strongest terms the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile by North Korea on 24 March. This launch represents a threat to international peace and security. It is a new violation of the Council’s resolutions. This provocation is the most serious in nearly five years. It is the twelfth series of launches since the beginning of t…
Ms. Juul
I thank Under-Secretary- General Rosemary DiCarlo for her briefing.
Norway strongly condemns the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on 24 March.
The continued development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is a direct threat to regional and international peace and security and is in vio…
Mr. Tirumurti
I thank you, Madam President, for convening this meeting today. We thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo for her briefing. We also welcome the participation of Japan and the Republic of Korea in today’s meeting.
We have noted the concerns expressed by countries of the region on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). India deplores the …
Mr. Zhang Jun
I listened carefully to the briefing of Under-Secretary- General Rosemary DiCarlo.
The situation on the Korean peninsula has long been an important item on the Council’s agenda. Over the past few years, we have witnessed, by and large, detente on the peninsula thanks to the efforts of various parties concerned. It is a hard-won achievement.
The leaders of the United States and the Democratic Pe…
Mr. De la Fuente Ramírez
I thank Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo.
I wish to start to thank by expressing our concern about the need for the Security Council to meet once
again, this time in a public meeting, in response to the launch of another ballistic missile, yesterday, on 24 March, by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. This is yet another provocation, although it is qualitatively different because…
Mr. Agyeman
I thank you, Madam President, for having convened this open meeting. I also thank Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo for her briefing to the Council and welcome the representatives of Japan and the Republic of Korea to this meeting.
We are meeting today under heavy clouds of escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula and in the wider North-East Asia region. Those tensions have been occasi…
Mr. Kiboino
I thank Under-Secretary- General Rosemary DiCarlo for her briefing and welcome the participation of the Republic of Korea and Japan.
Kenya is gravely concerned about the most recent intercontinental ballistic missile test launch by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, in clear violation of the relevant Security Council resolutions. This thirteenth test launch since the beginning of the yea…
Ms. Koumby Missambo
I thank Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo for her briefing.
Yesterday, 24 March, North Korea launched an unidentified projectile. It was the thirteenth such launch since the start of the year, which demonstrates not only an increase in the frequency of the launches but also an increase in the power and range of projectiles. With that development, North Korea has followed through on its threat to renege on it…
Ms. Evstigneeva
We thank Ms. DiCarlo for her briefing.
Russia stands against any military activity that poses a threat to the security of the Korean peninsula and the States of North-East Asia. We deplore the recent developments in the region. We are convinced that the quest for mutually acceptable diplomatic solutions is the only way to peacefully resolve the issues on the Korean peninsula and establish a stab…
Mr. Costa Filho
Let me thank Under- Secretary-General DiCarlo for once again coming to brief the Council on this file.
Brazil strongly condemns the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. That is a flagrant violation of multiple Security Council resolutions and a clear breach of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s own moratorium on ICBM launch…
