The United States and 10 other countries have urged the U.N. Security Council to respond to North Korea’s latest ballistic missile launch. They say its inaction erodes the credibility of the most powerful body in the world. They also say it undermines global efforts to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
The 11 countries say they remain committed “to seeking serious and sustained diplomacy” with North Korea. North Korea conducted its 11th ballistic missile launch since the beginning of the year on Saturday. Experts say the launches are an attempt to add new weapons systems to the North’s arsenal. They also are intended to pressure the United States into making concessions amid stalled diplomacy.
