Russia and China vetoed a United Nations Security Council draft resolution with new sanctions against North Korea for repeated missile test ban violations. It is the first time since 2006 that the international front on North Korea has been split. Since then, the Security Council has compactly passed nine different resolutions against Pyongyang. Read also “For the first time in 15 years, countries that are members of the Security Council have used their power of veto to prevent the Council from fulfilling its responsibilities, that is, to make North Korea accountable for the illegitimate proliferation that promotes “, said, also on behalf of Japan and South Korea, the US Permanent Representative to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield. “Today, the veto is a dangerous tool,” she added. North Korea has already completed tests of 16 missiles this year, the last of which was on Wednesday when three were launched. At least one of this year’s tests appears to have been an ICBM. Beijing justified its veto by stating that other sanctions against Pyongyang would not stop North Korea’s weapons programs, but rather intensify them. Beijing envoy to the UN, Zhang Jun, also cited the covid epidemic in North Korea and the risk of a humanitarian crisis. Moscow envoy Vasily Nebenzya also spoke of the “dangerous humanitarian consequences” of new sanctions. “Since 2006, numerous restrictive measures have been taken against Pyongyang, however, as history has shown, the sanctions paradigm has failed to ensure the security of the region or resolve the issue of missiles and non-proliferation,” he added. Nobody mentioned the war in Ukraine, but yesterday’s vote at the UN confirms the beginning of a new phase in international relations.
