NEW YORK, April 13 (Yonhap) -- The following is the full text of the statement adopted unanimously Monday by the U.N. Security Council to condemn North Korea's rocket launch on April 5.
The Security Council bears in mind the importance of maintaining peace and
security on the Korean Peninsula and in northeast Asia as a whole. The Security
Council condemns the 5 April 2009 launch by the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea, which is in contravention of Security Council resolution 1718.
The Security Council reiterates that the DPRK must comply fully with its
obligations under Security Council resolution 1718.
The Security Council demands that the DPRK not conduct any further launch.
The Security Council also calls upon all Member States to comply fully with their
obligations under resolution 1718.
The Security Council agrees to adjust the measures imposed by paragraph 8 of
resolution 1718 through the designation of entities and goods, and directs the
Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 to undertake its tasks to this
effect and to report to the Security Council by 24 April 2009, and further agrees
that, if the Committee has not acted, then the Security Council will complete
action to adjust the measures by 30 April 2009.
The Security Council supports the Six Party Talks, calls for their early
resumption, and urges all the participants to intensify their efforts on the full
implementation of the 19 September 2005 Joint Statement issued by China, the
DPRK, Japan, Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and the United States and
their subsequent consensus documents, with a view to achieving the verifiable
denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful manner and to maintaining
peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in northeast Asia.
The Security Council expresses its desire for a peaceful and diplomatic solution
to the situation and welcomes efforts by Council members as well as other Member
States to facilitate a peaceful and comprehensive solution through dialogue.
The Security Council will remain actively seized of the matter.
