유엔 안전보장이사회(안보리)가 26일(이하 현지시간) 최근 북한의 잠수함발사탄도미사일(SLBM) 등 북한의 잇단 미사일 도발을 강력히 규탄(糾彈)하는 언론성명을 만장일치로 채택했다.

안보리는 중국을 포함, 15개 회원국이 합의한 언론성명에서 “7월 9일과 8월 23일 SLBM(submarine-launched ballistic missile)과 8월 2일과 7월 18일 탄도미사일 등 지난 두달간 4차례에 걸친 북한의 미사일 발사 실험을 규탄”하고 “이러한 발사가 안보리 결의안 1718(2006), 1874(2009), 2087(2013), 2094(2013) and 2270(2016)을 중대하게 위반하고 있다”고 환기시켰다.

안보리는 “이같은 실험이 핵무기의 이동수단 증강 등 긴장을 고조시키고 있다”면서 북한이 주민들이 시급하게 필요로 하는 것들을 충족시키는 대신 자원들을 탄도미사일을 위해 전용하는 것을 개탄(慨歎)했다.

또한 “북한이 4월 15일과 23일, 27일 , 28일, 5월 31일, 6월 21일 등 안보리의 거듭된 성명을 고의로 무시하는 행위들을 지속한 것에 심각하게 우려한다”면서 “북한이 관련 결의안의 규정들을 준수하고 추가적인 위반 행동을 삼가야 한다고 강조했다.

아울러 모든 회원국들이 2016년 대북제재결의안 2270에 따른 포괄적인 조치들을 충분히 이행하는 노력을 배가해달라면서 관련 결의안의 조항들을 효과적으로 이행하는 조치들을 가능한 조속히 보고해 줄 것을 요청했다.

이어 “대화를 통한 평화적이고 포괄적인 해결책을 기울여야 할 것”이라고 강조하고 “현 상황을 예의 주시하고 한층 강화된 조치를 취할 것”이라고 밝혔다.

Security Council Press Statement on Democratic People's Republic of Korea Ballistic Missile Launches

The members of the Security Council strongly condemned the launching of a submarine-launched ballistic missile by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on 23 August, the ballistic missile launches conducted by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on 2 August and 18 July, and the launching of a submarine-launched ballistic missile by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on 9 July. These launches are in grave violation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's international obligations under United Nations Security Council resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013) and 2270 (2016). The members of the Security Council deplore all Democratic People's Republic of Korea ballistic missile activities, including these launches, noting that such activities contribute to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's development of nuclear weapons delivery systems and increase tension. The members of the Security Council further regretted that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is diverting resources to the pursuit of ballistic missiles while Democratic People's Republic of Korea citizens have great unmet needs.

The members of the Security Council expressed serious concern that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea conducted these ballistic missile launches after the 15 April, 23 April, 27 April, 28 April, 31 May and 21 June launches, in flagrant disregard of the repeated statements of the Security Council. The members of the Security Council reiterated that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea shall refrain from further actions, including nuclear tests, in violation of the relevant Security Council resolutions and comply fully with its obligations under these resolutions.

The members of the Security Council called upon all Member States to redouble their efforts to implement fully the measures imposed on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by the Security Council, particularly the comprehensive measures contained in resolution 2270 (2016). The members of the Security Council directed the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006) to intensify its work to strengthen enforcement of resolution 2270 (2016) and assist Member States to comply with their obligations under that resolution and other relevant resolutions. The members of the Security Council also called on Member States to report as soon as possible on concrete measures they have taken in order to implement effectively the provisions of resolution 2270 (2016).

The members of the Security Council reiterated the importance of maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in North-East Asia at large, expressed their commitment to a peaceful, diplomatic and political solution to the situation and welcomed efforts by Council members, as well as other States to facilitate a peaceful and comprehensive solution through dialogue.

The members of the Security Council stress the importance of working to reduce tensions in the Korean Peninsula and beyond.

The members of the Security Council agreed that the Security Council would continue to closely monitor the situation and take further significant measures in line with the Council's previously expressed determination.
