Susan Rice told reporters that the draft resolution calls for strengthening existing sanctions on North Korea as well as breaking new ground. Some of the new measures include targeting diplomats1, banking2 activities and cash transfer she said. This will be the fourth round of UN sanctions against North Korea aimed at halting its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. The draft is a response to Pyongyang’s recent nuclear test and was negotiated between the US and China, North Korea’s ally on the Security Council. Ms. Rice spoke3 after circulating the text to council members. A vote is expected later this week.
