    What the latest sanctions entail?
  • The latest sanctions limit the exports of petroleum products to North Korea to 500,000 barrels/year, and crude oil to 4 million barrels/year.

    North Korean citizens working in foreign countries must all return home within 24 months. This would cut-off the North's access to foreign currency.

    The export of North Korean goods, including electrical equipment and machinery, has been banned.

  • Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the UN, said the latest sanctions send an "unambiguous message to Pyongyang that further defiance will invite further punishments and isolation."

    US President Donald Trump said the resolution indicated the world wanted, "peace, not death."

    Chinse ambassador to the UN, Wu Haitao, said the vote "reflects the unanimous position of the international community" regarding North Korea's weapons programme.

    UNSC sanctions have been ineffective so far
    Credits:
  • Previous UNSC sanctions banned the imports of North Korean coal, minerals, and statues.

    The assets of several North Korean officials and entities have been frozen.

    These sanctions have failed to convince Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear and missile programmes.

    However, diplomats feel the latest sanctions would bite Pyongyang hard enough to make it change its path.
