Security Council Press Statement on Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea Ballistic

Missile Launches
The members of the Security Council strongly condemned the ballistic missile launches
conducted by the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea on 5 September 2016. These
launches are in grave violation of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Koreas international
obligations under United Nations Security Council resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009),
2087 (2013), 2094 (2013) and 2270 (2016). The members of the Security Council deplore all
Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea ballistic missile activities, including these launches,
noting that such activities contribute to the Democratic Peoples Republic of Koreas
development of nuclear weapons delivery systems and increase tension. The members of the
Security Council further regretted that the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is
diverting resources to the pursuit of ballistic missiles while Democratic Peoples Republic of
Korea citizens have great unmet needs.
The members of the Security Council expressed serious concern that the Democratic Peoples
Republic of Korea conducted these ballistic missile launches after the 15 April, 23 April,
27 April, 28 April, 31 May, 21 June, 9 July, 18 July, 2 August and 23 August launches, in
flagrant disregard of the repeated statements of the Security Council. The members of the
Security Council reiterated that the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea shall refrain from
further actions, including nuclear tests, in violation of the relevant Security Council
resolutions and comply fully with its obligations under these resolutions.
The members of the Security Council called upon all Member States to redouble their efforts
to implement fully the measures imposed on the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea by
the Security Council, particularly the comprehensive measures contained in resolution
2270 (2016). The members of the Security Council directed the Committee established
pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006) to intensify its work to strengthen enforcement of
resolution 2270 (2016) and assist Member States to comply with their obligations under that
resolution and other relevant resolutions. The members of the Security Council also called
on Member States to report as soon as possible on concrete measures they have taken in order
to implement effectively the provisions of resolution 2270 (2016).
The members of the Security Council reiterated the importance of maintaining peace and
stability on the Korean Peninsula and in North-East Asia at large, expressed their
commitment to a peaceful, diplomatic and political solution to the situation and welcomed
efforts by Council members, as well as other States, to facilitate a peaceful and
comprehensive solution through dialogue.

The members of the Security Council stress the importance of working to reduce tensions in
the Korean Peninsula and beyond.
The members of the Security Council agreed that the Security Council would continue to
closely monitor the situation and take further significant measures in line with the Councils
previously expressed determination.
