North-East Asian country suspend all ballistic missile re-
lated activity and reinstate its moratorium on missile

technology being transferred to North Korea’s missile or 
weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programmes, and to 
prevent the procurement of missiles or missile related- 
items, materials, goods, and technology from North

Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718,

Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 1874, 
adopted on June 12, 2009, called upon Member States 
to inspect, seize, and dispose of proscribed illicit North 
Korea items related to its missile, nuclear, and WMD 
programmes and to prevent the provision of financial 
services or the transfer to, through, or from their terri-
tory of any financial or other assets or resources that 
could contribute to North Korea’s nuclear-related, bal-
listic missile-related, or other WMD-related programmes 
or activities, and by denying fuel or supplies to service 
the vessels carrying them; 
Whereas, on December 12, 2012, in flagrant defiance of past 
United Nations Security Council resolutions, the inter-
national community, and its Six-Party partners, North 
Korea launched a three-stage, long-range missile, which 
overflew Japanese territory near Okinawa and dropped 
debris into the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and 
waters adjacent to the Philippines; 
Whereas North Korea’s latest provocative and defiant action 
represents a direct threat to the United States Armed 
Forces in the Asia/Pacific region and regional allies and 
friends, including Australia, Japan, the Philippines, the 
Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan and is a po-
tential future threat to the United States and its people, 
including those residing in Guam, Hawaii, Alaska, and 
the west coast of the United States mainland; and 
Whereas there has been extensive cooperation on missile de-
velopment and military cooperation between the Govern-

1980s: Now, therefore, be it
