Following the adoption by the UN Security Council of Resolution 2270 (2016) on the DPRK: Statement by HR/VP Federica Mogherini

EU News 67/2016

Brussels, 02/03/2016

The unanimous adoption by the UN Security Council of Resolution 2270 (2016) is a clear expression of the unity and resolve of the international community to uphold the global non-proliferation regime and to target DPRK's illegal nuclear, WMD and ballistic missile programmes and its ability to finance them.

The DPRK's actions earlier this year are a grave threat to international peace and security in the region and beyond.

The EU will swiftly transpose this resolution into EU law and will consider whether additional autonomous restrictive measures are called for to complement this Resolution.

The DPRK must abide by all its international obligations and the Government of the DPRK needs to re-engage in a credible and meaningful way with the international community, in particular in the framework of the Six-Party Talks.
