Chair. Mr. President , members of the Security Council, according to the official news agency of the democratic peoples republic of korea, dprk, and various governmental sources, at approximately 9 00 a. M. Local time on for july, 2017, the dprk launched a Ballistic Missile which its term the fire of inter continental Ballistic Missile. The missile was launched near the airfields in the northwest of the dprk. According to the dprks covered distance of 933 kilometers during a 39 million our flight reaching an altitude of 2800 kilometers before impacting into the sea according to these parameters, the missile would have a range of roughly 600 kilometers is launched on the more typical making it in intercontinental Ballistic Missile icbm, according to widely used definitions. The dprk did not sense the launch specification to those responsible to your space and maritime safety. The official media claims that dprk was now quote a fullfledged neutral power that has been in possession of the most powerful intercontinental ballistic capable of hitting any part of the world with nuclear weapon. This is the seventh time the council has met to discuss the dprk in 2017. Including today five of these emergency consultations have followed the launch by the dprk a Ballistic Missiles and open violation of Security Council resolution. Mr. President , the secretarygeneral strongly condemns the launch of a Ballistic Missile of intercontinental range conducted by the dprk. This action is yet another brazen violation of the relevant Security Council resolution and constitutes a dangerous escalation of the situation. The dprk leadership must cease further and comply fully with its international obligation. The secretarygeneral underlines the importance of maintaining the unity of International Community in addressing the serious challenge. The dprk must stop actions in violation of Security Council resolution and allow space for the redemption of sincere dialogue. All parties must work to reopen Communication Channels particularly military to military to lower the risk of miscalculation or misunderstanding. Amid the escalation of the security situation in the region, the United Nations and partners play a Critical Role in saving the lives of the most Vulnerable People in the dprk. As the Council Considers its response, we again remind Member States of the importance of separating political and humanitarian concerns and urge them to support the lifesaving activities carried out by the humanitarian organizations in the country. Mr. President , i would like to close by reiterating the secretarygenerals by seeking a peaceful solution. The United Nations will remain in close contact with all concerned parties and remain ready to assist in any way possible. Thank you. [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] a thank you mr. President. To my friends on the Security Council, i must say that today is a dark day. It is a dark day because yesterday section by north korea made the world a more dangerous place. There illegal Missile Launch was not only dangerous, but reckless and irresponsible. It showed that north korea does not want to be part of a peaceful world. They have cast a dark shadow of conflict on all nations that strive for peace. Yesterdays acts came from the same vicious dictator who sent a Young College student back home to his parents unresponsive and in a coma. For americans, the true nature of the north korean regime was painfully brought home with the images of two guards holding auto warm beer up as they transported him from a prison he should have never been in. Auto is but one person out of millions have been killed, tortured, or deprived of their human rights by the north korean regime. To americans the death of one innocent person can be as powerful as the death of millions. All men and women are created in gods image, depravity toward one is a sure sign of willingness to do much more harm. The nature of the north korean regime is clear. Only the scale of the damage it does could become different. That is why yesterdays escalation is so alarming. If north korea will treat an innocent young student the way it treated auto, we should not be surprised if it acts barbaric lee on a larger scale. The United States does not seek conflict. We seek to avoid it. We seek only the peaceful denuclearization of the peninsula. Regrettably we are witnessing the opposite. Make no mistake north koreas launch of an icbm is a clear and sharp military escalation, the north korean regime openly states that its missiles are intended to deliver Nuclear Weapons to strike cities in the United States, south korea and japan. And now it has greater capacity to do so. In truth, this not only the United States and our allies that are threatened, north korea is destabilizing escalation is a threat to all nations in the region and beyond. Their actions are quickly closing off the possibility of a diplomatic solution. The United States is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies. One of our capabilities lies with our considerable military force. We will use them if we must. But we prefer not to go in that direction. We have other methods of addressing those who threaten us. And of those who supply the threats. We have great capabilities in the area of trade, President Trump has spoken repeatedly about this. I spoke with him at length about it this morning. There are countries that are allowing, even encouraging trade with north korea in violation of your security counsel violation. Such countries would also like to continue their trade arrangements with the United States. That is not going to happen. Our attitude on train changes when countries did not take International Security threat seriously. Before the path to a peaceful solution is entirely closed the remains more that the International Community can and must do, diplomatically and economically. In the coming days will bring for the Security Council resolution that raises the International Response in a way thats proportionate to north koreas new escalation. I will not detail the resolution here today but the options are all known to us. If we are unified, the International Community can cut off the major sources of hard currency to the north korean regime. We can restrict the flow of oil to their military and their weapons program. We can increase air and maritime restrictions. We can hold senior regime officials accountable. The International Community has spoken frequently against the illegal and dangerous actions of the north korean regime. For many years, there have been numerous un sanctions against north korea. They have been insufficient to get them to change their destructive course. In order to have an impact, and order to move north korea off its military escalation, we must do more. We will not look exclusively at north korea. Well look at any country that chooses to do business with this outlaw machine. We will not have patience for stalling or talking our way down to a watereddown resolution. Yesterdays icbm escalation requires an escalated diplomatic and anomic response. Time is short. Action is required. The world is on notice. If we act together, we can still prevent a catastrophe and we can rid the world of a grave threat. If we fail to act in a serious way, there will be a difference response. Much of the burden of enforcing un sanction rest with china. 90 of trade is from china. Will work with china and any and every country that believes in peace but we will not repeat the inadequate approaches of the past that have brought us to the start day. We cannot forget the multiple missile tests this year or yesterdays escalation. We cannot forget Otto Warmbier and others that north korea continues to hold. We cannot forget the threats to our friends and allies from the world. We will not forget, and we will not delay. Thank you [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] thank you mr. President. I would like to begin by thanking the president for convening this reading. Jointly requested by the United States and the republic of korea and japan. I would also think for the briefing. Mr. President , north korea once again launched a Ballistic Missile template in violation of the relevant Security Council resolution. This is totally unacceptable. Japan botched a strong protest strictly against north korea immediately after the launch and condemned the act in the strongest of terms. Here, i express once again our strong condemnation of this unacceptable provocation. Japan demands that north korea immediately cease all Ballistic Missiles and Nuclear Development programs and provocations. Japan will never accept a Nuclear Armed north korea. North korean official media has announced that they carried out the launch of the intercontinental Ballistic Missile, it reached the altitude of more than 2500 kilometers, flew for about 40 minutes, and landed within the japanese his own. Approximately 300 kilometers off the peninsula. A number of japanese Fishing Vessels were out in the sea at the time of the launch. This shows how dangerous and irresponsible this act by north korea was. If it had not been such a launch the messiah would have flown for more than 5500 kilometers and could have reached many other Member States. This provocation of north korea upon International Efforts force a peaceful resolution and present enormous global threats. As north korea claims that they are capable of hitting any part of the world, there threat has literally become global. This most recent provocation made it more evident that it is not right for dialogue with north korea at this moment. There is no other choice left for us now, then to Work Together to increase pressure against north korea for our implementation of the revenu ren is critically important. Every member state must Work Together to pressure north korea into taking concrete actions toward the nuclear the station. We need to stand and send a clear united message that it is north korea that needs to change, not our site. We must look at the councils to take further missions for further dprk k tester launch. This launch requires First Response from the council in the form of a resolution with sanctions. Japan looks forward to working closely with Council Members to this end. I think you. Thank you. [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] i thank you for the very instructive state may have given us. Mr. President , yet again the Security Council is meeting following a grave and unjustifiable violation by north korea of its international obligation. Amounting to a threat to International Peace and security. With a Ballistic Missile launch two days ago, north korea continues its reckless behaviors and the most on excusable manner. This proclaim and desire to flout the authority of the Security Council and continues to ignore numerous appeals and calls to reason which together we have addressed to it. Finally, the persistent international attitude, what a provocation that brings us straight to an escalation. France condemned the Missile Launch just as it did with the numerous Ballistic Missile launches over the past month. All action taken by north korea is a dangerous and pattern of instigation for regional stability and even for International Peace and security. Today the country of the reason trend region are under duress and france pledges solitary to them. Make no mistake, everyone around this table is under threat. It is a global threat. The persistent approach has initiated at the highest levels of the regime in north korea to develop its Nuclear Program speaks for itself. This new Missile Launch follows in the wake all previous ones. If today is yet another step towards acquiring operational nuclear capacity. This is a meditative, unabashed assaults of the nonproliferation regime. This regime is at the heart of our security system. This violation cannot be tolerated, let there be no space estate, north korea Nuclear Program is one of the primary threats to the nonproliferation regime. This regime is something we have forged together, piecebypiece over the past decades. The nonproliferation regime itself is the backbone of the maintenance of International Peace and security. It is our collective responsibility to protect. Mr. President , this reckless dashboard must be halted without precondition, and immediately. Sanctions can never be automatic, nor are they an end in and of themselves. But when our messages, peels and warnings are deliberately ignored over and over, systematically, a decisive collective response is necessary. Negotiation remain a priority but the Current Situation does not allow for it at all. The deliberate repeated out and out violation but whomsoever of our cannot be subject to bargaining. If alston north korea to demonstrate in a sincere manner and specific action that it stands ready to invest in a solution otherwise we will have to be firm and our response. Sir, with the threat of the nuclear proliferation, that is indeed what is at stake, lack of action is not an option. We have been brought together by a shared sense of urgency. As well as one of determination to ensure Security Council authority is upheld. We have to shoulder our responsibilities together. The entire International Community must continue its efforts for an effective implementation of members but, we must also reiterate our decisive commitment to halting the irresponsible action of north korea. The end goal is full, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. The clock is ticking. Our message must be firm, unambiguous and it should be the outcome of our meaning today. It is a significant step among these lines. Mr. President s, france was at the forefront of crafting of the nonproliferation regime and intends to stay there. In the Security Council as well as in the european union, france has always taken determines the forceful action against any attempt to undermine the regime. My country contributed to having partners to ensure a Firm Response be provided. I would like to reassure you today that my country will continue to do this in the most resolute manner possible. This is why we work with all of our partners for the adoption of a Security Council resolution including the adoption of new, robust and operational measures. We intend to continue similar measures within the european union. When the very foundation of our collective system are rocked, there is no room for going backwards and forward, even the risk of the situation worsening, the council must and will shoulders responsibility. Thank you. I think the resident luncheon i now give the floor to the United Kingdom. Like the previous speakers, the United Kingdom condemns in the strongest terms the dprk case frequent violation of unanimous decisions of the Security Council. Despite repeated condemnation and despite the leadership of the dprk k has persisted in pursuing its illegal programs in the misguided pursuit of the Nuclear Weapons capability. This is simply not acceptable. We have seen an unprecedented method of missile
