| #3 UN Security Council Passes Resolution Sanctioning North Korea The U.N. Security Council has unanimously passed resolution imposing sanctions on North Korea for conducting an apparent nuclear test. The vote came less than a week after North Korea announced it had set off a nuclear device underground. The resolution includes economic and weapons sanctions against North Korea, including a travel ban and financial restrictions. It specifically rules out the use of force in what is seen as a concession to China and Russia. Earlier today, U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said some technical changes to the draft resolution had been made. Diplomats said the issue of cargo inspections had been a sticking point. |
