US Ambassador Nikki Haley told the Security Council that her country is not seeking war with North Korea, but if war does come, it will be because the “continue acts of aggression” by the North Korean regime and “if the war comes, make no mistake, the North Korean regime will be utterly destroyed.”
Speaking today (29 Nov) during an emergency Security Council meeting on the DPRK’s launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile, the US Ambassador called on all nations to “cut off all ties with North Korea,” severing all diplomatic relations with the regime, and limiting military, scientific technical or commercial cooperation.
Haley mentioned that the US President Donald Trump called the Chinese President Xi this morning saying that China must cut off the oil from North Korea.
She said “China must show leadership and follow through. China can do it on its own, or we will take this oil situation in our own hands.”
Haley also said, “We should continue to treat North Korea as the international pariah it has become by taking its UN rights and privileges away, including its voting powers.”
Koro Bessho, the Japanese Ambassador reiterated that his country will “never tolerate a nuclear armed North Korea.”
He said “Japan demands that North Korea immediately cease all ballistic missile launches and nuclear development programmes and proliferations.”
Chinese Ambassador Wu Haitao expressed his country’s “great concern and opposition” to the latest missile launch by the DPRK.
He said “we strong urge the DPRK to compline with relevant Security Council Resolutions, and cease actions that escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula.”
Wu also reiterated that “the Security Council needs to shoulder its historical responsibility by prompting parties to take integrated measures to settle problems through peaceful and pollical means to maintain the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula.”
The South Korean Ambassador Cho Tae-yul told the Council that “if North Korea continues to underestimate or miscalculate the firm result of the international community, it will transpire to be a great mistake.”
In his briefing to the Security Council, UN political chief Jeffery Feltman said that the Secretary-General “strongly condemned” the latest ballistic missile launch by North Korea, adding that it is a “clear violation of Security Council Resolutions and shows complete disregard for the united view of the international community.”
According to the DPRK’s official news agency and various governmental sources, the north Asian country launched a ballistic missile, which it termed as “intercontinental ballistic rocket Hwasong-15.”
The missile was reportedly launched from an area north of the capital, Pyongyang, covering about 950 kilometres (km) and reaching an apogee of around 4,500 km, before impacting into the sea in Japan’s exclusive economic zone.
These parameters indicate that, if flown on a standard trajectory, the missile as configured would have a range in excess of 13,000 km.
This is the DPRK’s third test of a ballistic missile of apparent intercontinental range in less than six months and its 20th ballistic missile launch this year.
On 20 November, US President Donald Trump designated the DPRK a state sponsor of terrorism.
