The United Nations Security Council is going to begin working on a new resolution for North Korea after North Korea’s nuclear test. Members strongly opposed the test while North Korea continued to claim it is part of its work towards a state of nuclear deterrence. The US ambassador to the UN said that “The US thinks that this is a grave violation of international law and a threat to regional and international peace and security.” The Russian envoy said that “The members of the Security Council voiced their strong opposition to, and condemnation of, the nuclear test conducted by [North Korea].” The Council will first issue a statement condemning the test and then will work on another resolution to secure the peace and security in the region.
