Saturday U.N. Special Session

In a surprise meeting held today by the United Nations ended with a new resolution. The resolution passed unanimously 15 to nothing.

U.N. Resolution 1695 is aimed at the recent ballicstic missles launched by North Korea.

"We have a strong and binding resolution. We expect full unconditional and imediate compliance by North Korea. We condemn the North Korean missle launches. Which is entirely approproate given the provacative nature of those missle launches. We expect this to be a unanimous vote."
-John Bolton(U.S. Ambassador)

Pak Gil Yon (North Korea's Ambassador) responded after the resolution passed unanimously stating that there may be more missle launches and that the U.S. was the one showing provacations in the region. Adding that the missile launches were part of routine military exercises to increase the country's capacity for self-defence. Making the argument that the exercise was a legitimate right of a sovereign State and that it is not covered by international law, bilateral or multilateral agreements.
