STORYLINE:
The United Nations (UN) Security Council today (12 December) deplored the rocket launch announced by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), calling it a clear violation of the Council’s demand that Pyongyang not conduct any launch using ballistic technology.
Ambassador Mohammed Loulichki of Morocco, which holds the Council’s presidency for December, told reporters after the Security Council consultations that the launch is “a clear violation of the Security Council resolutions 1718 and 1874.”
UN Security Council Resolution 1718, adopted in 2006, demanded a halt to missile and nuclear tests, and banned the sale of weapons. In resolution 1874, adopted in 2009, the Council demanded that the DPRK not conduct any launch using ballistic missile technology. That resolution also imposed additional sanctions on the DPRK after previous demands that the country not conduct any further nuclear or missile tests went unheeded.
Speaking to reporters, South Korean Ambassador Kim Sook said that DPRK’s launch constitutes “a very dangerous challenge to the security of Republic of Korea and the security situation in Korean Peninsula and in northeast Asia and also to the peace and stability of the whole international society.”
During today’s consultations Council members agreed to continue consultations on the “appropriate response in accordance with its responsibilities given the urgency of the matter.”
US Ambassador States Susan Rice told reporters that in the coming days the United States would work with the partners on the Security Council as well as the partners at the six-party talks and others to pursue “appropriate actions”. The six-party talks involve China, Japan, North and South Korea, the Russian Federation and the United States.
Asked by a reporter about the prospects for the six-party talks, the US Ambassador said that yesterday’s actions by the DPRK called into question their commitment to resume the process.
Asked about the latest developments on Syria, Rice welcomed progress in unifying the opposition and said that today’s Friends of Syria in Marrakesh was “an important step.”
She also noted Tuesday’s decision by the United States to recognize the Syrian opposition coalition as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people. Rice stressed the US commitment to continue and intensify “non-lethal and humanitarian support for the people of Syria”, including through the opposition coalition.
The Friends of Syria meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco, was attended by the Joint Arab League-UN Deputy Special Representative, Nasser Al-Kidwa, who delivered a message on behalf of the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stressing that the international community needs to unite to support a negotiated end to the crisis in Syria. In his message Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon reiterated that a military solution will not stop the violence that has already claimed tens of thousands of innocent lives.
At least 20,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began some 21 months ago. Earlier this week, the Joint Special Representative of the United Nations and the League of Arab States for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, stated that a political solution to end the crisis is necessary and still possible.
