Storyline

In the wake of the Democratic Republic of Korea’s latest test of a nuclear warhead, United States Ambassador Samantha Power today (9 Sept) said “the world is completely united in condemnation of the DPRK’s fifth nuclear test.”

Power said "this test shows the DPRK’s complete disregard for international law, complete disregard for its own commitments under the September 2005 joint statement of the six party talks, complete disregard for those member states most likely to advocate on its behalf, and complete disregard for the resolutions of this Council, four of them in total."

The US Ambassador said this was “more than brazen defiance. North Korea is seeking to perfect its nuclear weapons and their delivery vehicles so they can hold the region and the world hostage under threat of nuclear strike."
The DPRK announced the successful test of a nuclear warhead which it says could be mounted onto ballistic missiles. This would be the second nuclear test conducted by the DPRK this year and the fifth since 2006.
