All ships leaving North Korea face mandatory inspections under new UN resolution
A draft UN Security Council resolution revealed yesterday in response to North Korea’s latest nuclear test and missile launch is pushing to make sure all ships entering and leaving the so called Hermit Kingdom are inspected.
The draft has received the support of Pyongyang’s long-term ally, China.
The US ambassador to the UN Samantha Power said the resolution included “unprecedented interdictions provisions” to ensure sanctions are enforced. This marks the first time that mandatory inspections will be enforced.
