New Sec Council sanctions against North Korea
The UN Security Council unanimously agreed on a new set of restrictive measures against Pyongyang following the North Korea's latest missile tests. Reaffirming the UN's previous stance on the issue, the international body further sanctioned several of North Korea's exports.
The US-drafted resolution bans North Korean exports of coal, iron, iron ore, lead, lead ore and seafood.
It also prohibits increasing the current numbers of North Korean laborers working abroad, new joint ventures with Pyongyang and new investment in joint ventures.
