  1. “The United Arab Emirates urges the Council to find such unity again and speak with one voice to address this situation. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. The representative of the United States of America has asked to make a further statement.”

  2. “The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has acknowledged the need for humanitarian assistance, but has not created an enabling environment for aid delivery, including by not allowing United Nations personnel to return to the country. Ultimately, it is the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea who are suffering, and we urge the Government to invite humanitarian organizations back to the country to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance. It is the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea who require the Council’s support at this time. In conclusion, we recall that when the Council was united on this issue in the past, it was capable of curbing the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s unlawful pursuit of nuclear weapons.”

  3. “The role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in verifying those objectives is critical. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea should adhere to the IAEA’s safeguards and allow for the Agency’s inspectors to return to the country. Thirdly, the United Arab Emirates remains deeply troubled by the humanitarian situation in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Reports of a worsening food shortage, coupled with severe weather conditions and the country’s decision to keep its borders closed to humanitarian organizations, is estimated to put as much as 60 per cent of the country’s population at grave risk of malnutrition. That has purportedly increased by 20 per cent in the past three years.”

  4. “We are reminded of the pledge the country’s leader has made to accelerate its so-called five-year military plan to, in the words of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, “fight a war at the highest level”. This is of great concern considering the nuclear weapons and intercontinental capabilities that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has been developing at pace. We call on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to return to diplomacy and dialogue for talks in any format. Enacting a complete, verifiable and irreversible path to denuclearization, including a return to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, without delay, must be the way forward for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the international community.”

  5. “Secondly, we reiterate our call for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to comply with Security Council resolutions and international law. The United Arab Emirates recognizes that satellites can be used by States for peaceful purposes. However, due to past actions, the Council prohibited the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea from any launches using ballistic missile technology, regardless of the goal, because such launches may help accelerate its illegal programme of weapons of mass destruction. Reporting suggests that the objective of this most recent launch was to put the country’s first military reconnaissance satellite into orbit.”

  6. “The United Arab Emirates would like to emphasize the following points regarding this latest launch. First, civilians cannot continue to be at the mercy of the ongoing threats. We note that some advance warning of the intended satellite launch was provided on this most recent occasion. That may have reduced risks to neighbouring countries to some degree, but such warnings neither legitimize nor minimize the illegality of the launch by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The fear and danger imposed on the people of the Republic of Korea and Japan as a result of those actions is unacceptable and unjustifiable. We stand in solidarity with the Governments and the people of those countries and the wider region.”

  7. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Arab Emirates. I thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo for her informative briefing and we welcome the participation of the Republic of Korea in today’s meeting. The United Arab Emirates joins the Secretary- General in his strong condemnation of the military satellite launch by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. These events are of great concern. Though the satellite launch rocket failed on 31 May, officials from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea have vowed to undertake a second launch as soon as possible. We reiterate that any launch by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea using ballistic missile technology is prohibited by the Security Council, and we strongly urge them to desist from their unlawful, dangerous and provocative activities.”

In accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, to participate in this meeting. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I give the floor to Ms. DiCarlo.”
