N. Korea Accuses UN of Double Standard Over Missile Firings - Kyle Remington

 North Korea over the weekend accused the United Nations of a "double standard" over its reaction to their recent missile launchers, warning it of a "serious consequence". Recently, North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the sea regardless of the U.N. declaring a ban on this type of launch. Experts say that these launches were aimed at applying pressure on the recently imposed Biden administration. Senior North Korean Foreign Ministry Official Jo Chol Su said in a statement that the resolution by the U.N. banning these launches on them constitutes a, ". . . denial of sovereignty and an apparent double standard that the UNSC takes issue, on the basis of the ‘resolutions’ — direct products of the U.S. hostile policy toward North Korea". This comes as North Korea has become increasingly frustrated that the U.N. is only focused on their missile launches.
