United Nations Security Council Resolution 1695
- United Nations Security Council Resolution 1695
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1695, adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on July 15, 2006, bans selling material that would further the ability of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (the DPRK or North Korea) to bolster its ballistic missiles programme. The resolution condemns the missile test launches carried out by North Korea on July 4, 2006. The wording and strength of the statement was a compromise between the United States, Japan, and France, who favoured a strict statement and sanctions and the People's Republic of China and Russia, who favoured a statement less severe. The resolution does not invoke Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter per request of China and Russia. The resolution was rejected by North Korea in a record 47 minutes according to the United States ambassador to the U.N., John R. Bolton. The resolution was sponsored by the United States and Japan.
The resolution bans all UN member states from selling material or technology for missiles or weapons of mass destruction to North Korea, and from receiving missiles, banned weapons or technology from Pyongyang.
