UN SECURITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY EXPANDS SANCTIONS AGAINST NORTH KOREA|擴大制裁北韓 安理會15國一致通過

The U.N. Security Council increased international pressure on North Korea, who launched three ballistic missiles last month alone. After consulting with China, the U.N. decided to take a strong stance by unanimously voting to impose travel bans and asset freezes. In addition, the council also added 14 individuals and four companies to its sanction list. 15 member states in the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously on a resolution drafted by the U.S. The U.N. is taking more measures to sanction North Korea for its numerous launches of ballistic missiles. Four state-run institutions and 15 North Korean officials involving with missile research are blacklisted for a global travel ban and asset freeze. ==NIKKI HALEY U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations== The Security Council is sending a clear message to North Korea today: stop firing ballistic missiles or face the consequences. The U.N. is taking up the resolution, including North Korea's strong allies China and Russia rarely supported the sanction. This is the result which President Trump had been negotiating with Beijing for weeks. ==LIU JIEYI Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations== China opposes to such launches conducted by the North Korea. The resolution adopted by the council today has demonstrated the united position of the international community against the development of nuclear and missile programs by the DPRK. ==KORO BESSHO Japanese Ambassador to the United Nations== Japan welcomes the unanimous adoption of Resolution 2356. We would like to express our appreciation to the United States for taking the lead. ==CHO TAE-YUL South Korean Ambassador to the United Nations== The new sanctions resolution adopted today sends a clear message that the council will not tolerate repeated, accumulated, ballistic missile launches by the DPRK. The U.S. was to propose harsher sanctions but received objections from China. However, the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley reiterated, all options for responding to future provocations remain on the table. Beyond diplomatic and financial consequences, the U.S. prepares to counteract North Korean aggression through military means, if necessary. TRANSLATED BY: ANTHONY LIN 北韓不顧聯合國決議以及國際抨擊，在過去一個月內連續進行三次試射飛彈，聯合國安理會15個成員國，2號一致表決通過最新決議案，擴大對北韓的制裁措施。 聯合國安理會15個會員國，一致表決通過由美國起草的決議案，針對北韓持續試射導彈，擴大制裁措施，把四個北韓營運的機構組織，以及15名參與導彈研究計畫的北韓官員，列入聯合國旅遊禁令以及凍結資產的黑名單。 ==美國駐聯合國大使 海莉== 安理會今天對北韓發出清楚的訊息，停止發射彈道飛彈不然就面對後果。 這次擴大對北韓制裁的決議案，包括北韓的堅定盟邦中國跟俄國也罕見投下贊成票，也是川普政府跟北京經過長達好幾個星期不斷交涉的結果。 ==中國駐聯合國大使 劉結一== 中方反對朝鮮進行有關發射活動，今天安理會通過的決議，表明了國際社會反對朝鮮發展核導計畫的一致立場。 ==日本駐聯合國大使 別所浩郎== 日本歡迎對2356號決議的一致通過，我們也要對美國帶頭提出決議表達感激之意。 ==南韓駐聯合國大使 趙兌烈== 今天所通過新的制裁案，傳遞出明確訊息，安理會將不會再容忍北韓一再的，累積的彈道飛彈發射。 不過美國本來預計要對平壤提出更嚴厲內容的制裁案，但依舊遭北京反對而作罷，不過美國駐聯合國大使海莉依舊重申，反制北韓的導彈試射與核武威脅，所有選項依舊還放在檯面上，除了外交與經濟層面，更不排除軍事力量。 記者 靳元慶 報導
