Australia is joining international partners to strengthen efforts to hold North Korea to account for violations and evasions of UN Security Resolution sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States have committed to establishing a member state-led Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team (MSMT) to monitor and highlight North Korea\u2019s sanctions non-compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This follows Russia\u2019s March veto of the renewal of the mandate of the Panel of Experts (PoE) under the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718. The PoE was responsible for reporting on North Korea\u2019s non-compliance with sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite Russia\u2019s obstruction, all North Korea-related UN Security Council resolutions remain in effect and all UN Member States are required to implement them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Korea\u2019s ongoing pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems undermines international non-proliferation efforts. Its actions are contrary to Australia\u2019s interest in an open, stable, and prosperous Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Korea\u2019s malicious cyber activities pose serious national security and economic risks and threaten the security and stability of the online environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Korea\u2019s supply of arms and related materiel to Russia, in support of Russia\u2019s illegal war against Ukraine, directly violates United Nations Security Council resolutions and increases the suffering of the Ukrainian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia will continue to work with our partners to uphold international rules and norms and support global non-proliferation efforts to promote a safe and secure region and world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
