  1. “We must also reiterate our call on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to adhere to the relevant Security Council resolutions and resume constructive and credible dialogue with the relevant parties in a manner that recognizes the regional and global security concerns. We hope that the Council and other relevant parties will be able to act in a swift manner to disperse the gathering clouds of open confrontation on the Korean peninsula and usher in a climate that preserves the peace, while at the same time ensuring that the humanitarian needs of the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are addressed. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of the Republic of Korea.”

  2. “During the Council’s previous meeting on the situation last month (see S/PV.9146), many members expressed concern that urgent action was needed to de-escalate tensions on the peninsula and in the wider region. Although the Council could not agree on an acceptable path forward, our future actions should not be divergent. Inaction is not an option. A united and purposeful Security Council is therefore needed. As a Council, we must call on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to take concrete, immediate and urgent steps to refrain from further missile tests and call on all parties to de-escalate the tensions in the region.”

  3. “Reports that one of the missiles launched this week was an intercontinental ballistic missile, coupled with the fact that a missile landed very close to South Korean territorial waters, marks a new and dangerous phase of escalation of tensions, with adverse consequences for the peace and security of the Korean peninsula, the region and the world. Ghana is gravely concerned about the current launches and others before it, which it firmly deplores. Present trends holding, we are just one misunderstanding or one miscalculation away from open confrontation on the peninsula. Surely the Council can no longer turn a blind eye to the possibility of open confrontation on the Korean peninsula. The world is already fragile, and we must ensure that we avert any such possibility. We stand at a critical juncture.”

  4. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Ghana. I thank Assistant Secretary-General Khiari for his briefing and welcome the representatives of Japan and the Republic of Korea to our meeting. This week alone, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has launched over 20 missiles, bringing the total since the beginning of the year to more than 50. Those missile launches, which are unprecedented in scale, frequency, diversity and, in some cases, trajectory, are in clear breach of several Security Council resolutions.”
