North Korea (UN Resolution 1718)

UN Resolution 1718 was adopted in 2006 in response to North Korea's first nuclear test. It condemns North Korea's nuclear activities and missile tests, demanding they cease and return to international negotiations. The resolution imposes sanctions, including shipment restrictions and asset freezes, to pressure North Korea into abandoning its nuclear program. The goal is to promote regional stability and prevent nuclear proliferation. While enforcing these measures, the resolution also encourages diplomatic efforts to achieve peaceful, denuclearized security on the Korean Peninsula.
