UN resolution on North Korea represents international will

The United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution to impose new sanctions on North Korea Monday. The resolution sets a cap on refined petroleum sales to Pyongyang, bans textile and labor service exports from the country and prevents overseas North Korean workers from extending their work contracts. These measures will strike a new blow to economic activities that may support Pyongyang‘s nuclear and missile development, while trying to avoid the average North Korean citizen to be harmed.
