The last unified Security Council action on North Korea took place in 2017.
Thirteen of the United Nations’ 15 Security Council members have condemned Pyongyang’s second spy satellite test in three months.
“This should be an issue that unifies us…But since the beginning of 2022, this Council has failed to live up to its commitments because of China and Russia’s obstructionism,” said US ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield. “They are celebrating – celebrating – violations of Security Council resolutions and continuing to block Council action,” Thomas-Greenfield said of Moscow and Beijing.
