N. Korea Sends Letter to UN Secretary-General Amid US-S. Korean Military Drills
UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) — Member states of the UN Security Council members should signal their readiness, after being briefed on North Korea on April 28, to take further steps to contain the country for violating its international obligations, the US Mission to the United Nations said in a concept note on Monday.

"We encourage Security Council members to signal the collective intention to take further significant measures against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in the future if it continues to violate its international obligations," the note says.

The United States is also urging Security Council members to recommit to fully implement existing and future sanctions "to maximize pressure on the country to return to meaningful negotiations on denuclearization".
