                                                                                   30 November 2016




               Resolution 2321 (2016)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 7821st meeting, on
               30 November 2016

                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling its previous relevant resolutions, including resolution 825 (1993),
               resolution 1540 (2004), resolution 1695 (2006), resolution 1718 (2006), resolution
               1874 (2009), resolution 1887 (2009), resolution 2087 (2013), resolution 2094
               (2013), and resolution 2270 (2016), as well as the statements of its President of
               6 October 2006 (S/PRST/2006/41), 13 April 2009 (S/PRST/2009/7) and 16 April
               2012 (S/PRST/2012/13),
                    Reaffirming that proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, as
               well as their means of delivery, constitutes a threat to international peace and
               security,
                     Expressing its gravest concern at the nuclear test by the Democratic People’s
               Republic of Korea (“the DPRK”) on September 9, 2016 in violation of resolutions
               1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013) and 2270 (2016), and at the
               challenge such a test constitutes to the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear
               Weapons (“the NPT”) and to international efforts aimed at strengthening the global
               regime of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and the danger it poses to peace
               and stability in the region and beyond,
                    Underlining once again the importance that the DPRK respond to other
               security and humanitarian concerns of the international community,
                    Underlining also that measures imposed by this resolution are not intended to
               have adverse humanitarian consequences for the civilian population of the DPRK,
                     Expressing serious concern that the DPRK has continued to violate relevant
               Security Council resolutions through repeated launches and attempted launches of
               ballistic missiles, and noting that all such ballistic missile activities contribute to the
               DPRK’s development of nuclear weapons delivery systems and increase tension in
               the region and beyond,
                    Expressing continued concern that the DPRK is abusing the privileges and
               immunities accorded under the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular
               Relations,

S/RES/2321 (2016)

               generated revenues that are diverted to the pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic
               missiles while DPRK citizens have unmet needs,
                    Expressing its gravest concern that the DPRK’s ongoing nuclear - and ballistic
               missile-related activities have further generated increased tension in the region and
               beyond, and determining that there continues to exist a clear threat to international
               peace and security,
