This new resolution imposes severe sanctions on North Korea in many aspects, including:
North Korea is prohibited from exporting coal, iron, lead and seafood. Compared with previous years' data, this ban will reduce North Korea's export income by more than 654.38 billion US dollars, accounting for 6543.8+0/3 of its total annual export.
It is forbidden for other countries to hire new North Korean workers.
Other countries are prohibited from adding funds to existing joint venture projects with North Korea, and new joint investment projects with North Korea are prohibited.
Put nine North Koreans on the UN sanctions list, ban their travel and freeze their overseas assets. At the same time, two companies and two banks in North Korea were sanctioned.
The resolution requires the Security Council to supervise the implementation of sanctions and prevent North Korea from importing dual-use goods. The resolution authorizes the Security Council to prohibit any vessel violating sanctions from visiting all ports in the world. The resolution also requested Interpol to help supervise the implementation of the travel ban on blacklisted North Koreans.
US President Trump said on social media Twitter that the UN Security Council passed a new resolution on sanctions against North Korea by 15 to 0, "China and Russia voted for the United States. Very significant financial impact. " Heili, Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations, said that today is a "beautiful day" for the United Nations, and countries have taken another step in the right direction. "The new resolution is a United and powerful measure that will make North Korea pay for its actions."
Heili said that this resolution is the biggest economic sanction against North Korea, and it is also the most severe punishment for a single country in UN Security Council 10 years. "North Korea's nuclear program needs a lot of resources, and North Korea has not used foreign trade income to improve people's living standards."
Heili also said that the United States is grateful to every member of the Security Council. However, she also reminded countries that although this resolution is a major measure to punish North Korea, it is still not severe enough. The new resolution has not solved the North Korean nuclear issue, and the North Korean threat is becoming more dangerous. All countries should fully implement the new resolution and previous resolutions on sanctions against North Korea and continue to increase pressure on North Korea. A stable, peaceful and nuclear-free Korean peninsula remains the policy goal of the United States, and the United States hopes that all countries, including North Korea, can enjoy security and prosperity. The United States will use the "maximum pressure" policy to urge North Korea to change course. The United States will continue to take prudent defensive measures to protect itself and its allies.
It is reported that in the resolution just adopted, the position of supporting the denuclearization of the peninsula by returning to the six-party talks was also reiterated.
