UN to sanction N. Korean space agency

UN: The UN Security Council will order sanctions against North Korea's space agency in a resolution to be passed this week condemning the secretive state's ballistic launch, a diplomat said Monday.

The resolution, which also targets other government entities and individuals linked to North Korea's nuclear weapons program, could be passed by the 15-member council as early as Wednesday.

The United States and China have been negotiating the new measures since North Korea staged its missile launch on December 12. “The resolution condemns the launch and reiterates the Security Council's previous demands that North Korea abandon its nuclear weapons program and not proceed with further launches,” said the diplomatic source, speaking on condition of anonymity because the resolution has not yet been made public.

It “imposes new sanctions on North Korean companies, and government agencies, including North Korea's space agency responsible for the launch, and several individuals,” the source added. The UN already has 11 banks, trading companies and other entities on an assets freeze list that has grown since the nuclear tests.

The last three were added in May last year, one month after North Korea staged a failed rocket test.
