The North Korean ambassador to the United Nations, Ja Song Nam, said in a letter to the U.N. Security Council that the U.S. is using nuclear-propelled
aircraft
carriers Byron
Jones Cowboys Jersey , nuclear submarines, nuclear strategic bombers and
stealth fighters in the joint exercises that began Wednesday.
"It may go over to an actual war," Ja warned of the military drills, "and Maliek
Collins Cowboys Jersey , consequently, the situation on the Korean
Peninsula is again inching to the brink of a nuclear war."
The letter was sent a few hours after North Korea fired four banned ballistic missiles, in apparent reaction to the U.S.-South Korean exercises. Three of them
landed in waters that Japan claims as its exclusive economic zone, South Korean
and Japanese officials said.
The United States and Japan Jaylon
Smith Cowboys Jersey , in consultation with South Korea, requested an
urgent Security Council meeting on the launches, the U.S. Mission to the United
Nations said. The closed consultations are likely to take place Wednesday after
the Security Council returns from a visit to four Boko Haram-affected countries
in Africa, a U.N. diplomat
said Xavier
Woods Cowboys Jersey , speaking on condition of anonymity because
consultations have been private.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the tests, calling them a violation of council resolutions and reiterating his call for North Korea's
leaders "to refrain from further provocations and return to full compliance with
its international obligations," U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said.
Ri Song Chol, a counsellor at North Korea's U.N. mission Jourdan
Lewis Cowboys Jersey , told The Associated Press the missile launches were
a continuation of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un's efforts "to strengthen our
self-defensive military forces and pre-emptive attack capabilities" in response
to "nuclear threats and blackmails" and the U.S.-South Korean military
exercises.
He accused the United States of spurring the North to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile and reiterated a Foreign Ministry statement
issued Jan. 8 that an ICBM would be launched "in any time and in any place
decided by our supreme leadership."
Ri claimed the current joint military exercises are "for pre-emptive strike to the DPRK" — the initials of the country's official name, the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea. He said that is in contrast to previous annual
exercises that the U.S. and South Korea called preventive and defensive.
Ja, the ambassador, again urged the Security Council to discuss the U.S.-South Korea exercises and warned that if it ignores North Korea's
request Chidobe
Awuzie Cowboys Jersey , as it has in the past, it will demonstrate the
U.N.'s most powerful body is only a "political tool" of the United States.
He said the United States seeks to convince public opinion that the latest joint exercise is a response to North Korea's nuclear weapons, but he said the
U.S. and South Korea carried out military drills numerous times before Pyongyang
possessed its "nuclear deterrent."
Ja said the main reason North Korea is equipping itself "with nuclear attack capabilities" and strengthening its nuclear deterrent forces is in self-defense
against what he called the U.S. "extreme anti-DPRK hostile policy and nuclear
threats and blackmails as well as maneuvers to enforce its nuclear weapons."
North Korea's U.N. mission also issued a statement denouncing and rejecting a report by the Security Council's panel of experts that monitors U.N. sanctions
against the North.
The experts said North Korea is flouting sanctions by trading in prohibited weapons and other goods and using evasion techniques "that are increasing in
scale, scope and sophistication."
The North Korean mission again insisted that U.N. sanctions "have no legal basis at all" and violate the country's "lawful rights."
Furthermore Taco
Charlton Cowboys Jersey , it contended no international law states that a
nuclear test or satellite launch should be considered a "threat to international
peace and security."
The mission reiterated its request to the U.N. secretary-general to organize an international forum of lawyers to clarify the legal basis of the sanctions
resolutions. It said the U.N. Secretariat should not again respond with the
"preposterous out-of-date sophistries" that it is up to the Security Council to
determine what constitutes a threat to international peace and security.
The North also warned that sanctions resolutions and reports on enforcing implementation will only result in "our stronger self-defensive
counter-measures" — and it said the United States, "the major fabricator of
these resolutions," will bear all responsibility "for any uncontrolled critical
situation over the Korean Peninsula."
Ja also sent a letter Monday to Guterres again seeking "United Nations' urgent measures" to repatriate 12 North Korean waitresses working at a
restaurant in China who it says were tricked into defecting in April 2016 by
South Korean agents and a woman named Kim Ryon Hui it claims was taken to South
Korea in 2011 by deception.
The letter expressed disappointment at the U.N. failure to take action in these cases of what Ja called "egregious human rights violation" that constitute
"a contemporary crime against humanity."

travel insurance is unnecessary, this may help to put it into better perspective
for you: when you're at
home Connor

contents insurance, medical insurance, vehicle insurance and often life
insurance too but as soon as one removes themselves from their comfort zone and
crosses the border, one often forgets that their insurances are no longer able
