Continued Signs of Nuclear Weapons in DPR Korea - Briefing to UN Security Council

Remarks by H. E. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, on Non-proliferation/Democratic People’s Republic of Kore.
Speaking at the Security Council’s meeting on the implementation of sanctions on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), requested by the United States, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo, said “there continue to be signs the DPRK is maintaining and developing its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes. The International Atomic Energy Agency remains unable to access the DPRK and verify the correctness and completeness of the DPRK’s declarations under its safeguards agreement” adding that the agency “continue to monitor developments through commercially available satellite imagery where possible.”
DiCarlo also related the report made by the IAEA Director General in which the Agency had “observed signatures consistent with the continued operation of the plutonium production reactor, radiochemical laboratory and alleged uranium enrichment facility at Yongbyon.”
