UNSC "Resolution on Sanctions" 2321 Rejected

The director of the Department of Treaty and Law of the DPRK Foreign Ministry Thursday released a statement in denunciation of the "resolution on sanctions" against the DPRK which was cooked up by the UN Security Council at the instigation of the U.S. and its vassal forces, branding the nuclear warhead explosion test of the DPRK as "threat" and "provocation".

The statement said that neither sanctions of the UN nor independent sanctions can ever work on the DPRK which has proudly emerged a nuclear power and space power despite the unprecedented sanctions slapped by the U.S. and other hostile forces on it for more than half a century.

Bitterly denouncing the UNSC "resolution on sanctions" 2321 wantonly violating the sovereignty of the DPRK as a criminal document without any legality, the statement went on: The DPRK's nuclear warhead explosion test was the exercise of the right to self-defence and a practical counteraction against the U.S. and other hostile forces' nuclear threat and reckless sanctions and a demonstration of the strongest will of its people who are ready to counter any provocation of the enemy.
