1. “Equatorial Guinea is in favour of improving that mechanism; establishing stricter criteria for verification of evidence; strengthening the nuclear non-proliferation regime through international cooperation and consultation; deterring in order to maintain the moratorium on nuclear tests; setting explicit time limits for resolutions adopted by the Committee; drawing up a protocol of action for Committee members; taking practical and effective measures to disseminate and make universally known the 1718 sanctions regime, on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea; seeking the possibility of sanctions that cause fewer humanitarian crises and have a lesser impact on third countries; and helping developing countries strengthen their capacity to enforce and implement sanctions.”

2. “They must therefore be applied with proportionality and prudence under the premise that all peaceful means have been exhausted, which prevents them from causing damage to the weakest and most vulnerable sectors. It must be clear that, when sanctions are imposed by the Council, all States must comply with them. But we cannot presume that the current sanctions mechanism of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006) is currently the most effective.”

3. “In that regard, my Government maintains a firm policy of rejecting and strongly condemning any action involving launching ballistic missiles, carrying out nuclear tests, developing a military nuclear programme, as well as violating the relevant Council resolutions that strengthen international sanctions against the proliferation of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction. The nuclear and ballistic programmes of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea do not simply represent a regional concern, but a global one, as the consequences and effects of any accidental or intentional nuclear detonation would be catastrophic at the global level. Equatorial Guinea has always maintained that sanctions themselves are not an objective; rather, they are a means to an end.”

4. “Mr. Esono Angue (Equatorial Guinea) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, the delegation of Equatorial Guinea would like to thank Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the Government of the United States of America for convening this debate and congratulate the United States on its excellent work as President of the Council this September. The non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and global nuclear disarmament is one of the main purposes and missions of the United Nations and Equatorial Guinea.”
