PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
North Korea: Nuclear Weapons (8 January 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether he has made an assessment of the effectiveness of the UN Security Council’s sanctions on North Korea in encouraging that country to cease its nuclear activities; and if he will make a statement.

Asked by:
Christine Jardine (Liberal Democrat)

​The unanimous adoption of multiple UN Security Council Resolutions on North Korea demonstrates that the international community will not accept its illegal nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. The sanctions now in place significantly reduce the export revenues the regime uses to fund its illegal programmes.

There is evidence that the impact of these measures are increasingly being felt by the Kim regime.
