| Subject: UN Imposes Sanctions Against North Korea, an Act of War Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:42 pm | |
| At a time when most people in North Korea are already starving, the United Nations has imposed new sanctions on the country that are sure to deepen the famine that they are currently experiencing. The government there may be exceptionally horrible, but sanctions are largely a punishment to the general population, and an unfortunate precursor to war. In response to North Korea’s third nuclear test, the United Nations Security Council has voted to tighten financial restrictions on Pyongyang and crack down on its attempts to ship and receive banned cargo in breach of UN sanctions. The US-drafted resolution, which was approved unanimously by the 15-nation council on Thursday, was the product of three weeks of negotiations between the United States and China after North Korea’s third nuclear test on February 12.
