PANMUNJOM, South Korea - The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations urged Russia and China on Tuesday to reverse course, and stop rewarding North Korea's bad behaviour and shielding it from sanctions evading activities over its weapons programs.
Moscow's veto and China's abstention only"empowers" North Korea's efforts to sidestep international sanctions and"shields" it from accountability, Thomas-Greenfield said. Washington will work with South Korea, Japan and other partners at the Security Council to look at"some creative ways, some out-of-the-box thinking" to continue monitoring sanctions enforcement and other work carried out by the panel, Thomas-Greenfield said.
"One of my priorities is to raise the profile of human rights violations in the DPRK, to raise the profile and amplify your voices as escapees," she told them, referring to North Korea by the initials of its official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
