Russia vetoes UN resolution, abolishing monitoring of UN sanctions against North Korea by UN experts

Through those in favor of the draft resolution contained in Document S Rush 2024 Thrush 255, please raise their hand. Those are against. Abstention. The result of the voting is is as follows, 13 votes in favor. One vote against one abstention. The draft resolution has not been adopted, owning to the negative vote of a permanent member of the Council. I provide this message to all Member States. Russia owns this failure. Russia is the reason you will no longer receive reports from the panel of experts. Today’s vote will only embolden the DPRK to act with further impunity. As the DPRK jeopardizes global security through the development of long range ballistic missiles and sanctions evasion efforts. This is not the behavior of a responsible Member State, let alone. A permanent member of the Security Council. And China, with its abstention, has once again shown us where it stands on curbing DPRK proliferation.
