  1. “By immediately ending its nuclear and ballistic-missile programmes, we believe that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea would create the conditions for its reintegration into the international community and opportunities to improve its economy and its people's standard of living.”

  2. “On the contrary, we believe it could meet its security needs much more effectively by abiding by its international obligations under the relevant Security Council resolutions and its commitments under the Joint Statement of the Six-Party Talks of September 2005. Furthermore, at this time, a few weeks from the commencement of the next review cycle of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), Italy reiterates its demand that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea return to compliance with the NPT and the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards. Lastly, I would like to underline that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's illegal nuclear and missile programmes represent a deplorable diversion of crucial resources that should be devoted to the primary needs of its people.”

  3. “As Secretary Tillerson said, our collective actions are not aimed at the people of North Korea but rather at a regime that should put the interests and well-being of its people above any considerations of military power. The Council's resolutions are clear in that regard, and as Chair ofthe Sanctions Committee, we take great care to avoid any unintended consequences for the civilian population of the country. Italy reaffirms the goal of achieving a diplomatic solution to North Korea's threats involving weapons of mass destruction. We firmly believe that while the Democratic People's Republic of Korea blatantly disregards its international obligations with its nuclear and missile programmes, they do not serve its own security goals.”

  4. “As Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006), Italy is committed to helping all States Members of the United Nations fully implement the relevant Security Council resolutions, particularly resolutions 2270 (2016) and 2321 (2016). To that end, we held an open briefing in February, and beginning in March, in cooperation with the Panel of Experts, we have been holding a set of outreach meetings with United Nations regional groups, two of which - with the Groups of Latin American and Caribbean and Eastern European States - have already taken place. The meeting with the Group of African States will be held on 1 May, while those with the Groups of Western European and other and Asia-Pacific States will take place by the end of May.”

  5. “We firmly believe that the consistent and full implementation of the sanctions is the only way to make them effective in the framework of a comprehensive strategy for long-term peace and security. In that regard, I would like to recall the words of the Panel of Experts in February when they stated that the implementation of the sanctions regime is still insufficient and highly inconsistent, while "[a]ll Member States should reaffirm their commitment to rigorous enforcement of United Nations sanctions" (S/2017/I50, annex). But the sanctions must continue to be part ofa broader strategy, not an end in themselves. Such a regime requires Member States' good-faith awareness and dedication.”

  6. “We all share a common sense of urgency about the issue, since we assume, rightly in my view, that with its tests and launches the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is advancing its military nuclear technology and capability. Such progress represents an exceptionally high threat to the international community. For that reason, Italy will continue to fully support the implementation of an effective sanctions regime as a tool aimed at producing a change of behaviour in the leadership of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. We are also ready to strengthen the sanctions regime if there should be additional nuclear tests or it should prove necessary in order to enable us reach the objective of a peaceful and comprehensive solution to the issue.”

  7. “I would first like to thank the presidency for convening this timely meeting on such a key and pressing issue for the Security Council. I believe that the Council should make every possible effort to resolve the worsening crisis created by the persistent ambitions of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to pursue a military nuclear programme. Italy condemns in the strongest terms all the nuclear tests and ballistic-missile launches that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has carried out. Its nuclear and ballistic-missile programmes pose a grave and increasing threat not only to regional and international peace and security but also to the global non-proliferation regime.”
