The United States is looking for a new way to enforce sanctions against the DPRK after Russia and China disrupted monitoring activities
Kyiv • UNN
The United States is looking for new ways to tighten sanctions against North Korea after Russia and China disrupted UN monitoring efforts. Meanwhile, North Korea has criticized the US ambassador's trip to Asia aimed at strengthening sanctions, calling it a "beggar's tour.
The US ambassador to the United Nations said on Friday that she hopes to find a new way to enforce sanctions against North Korea. The decision is due to the fact that Russia has violated the update of the monitoring commission, and China abstained from voting. This was reported by UNN with reference to Reuters and KBS World Radio.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said she hopes to find a new way to enforce sanctions on North Korea by next month after Russia and China disrupted the resumption of monitoring activities.
According to the official, Washington and its allies are considering various options for replacing the group of experts that has monitored the implementation of sanctions aimed at curbing North Korea's nuclear and missile programs for the past 15 years.
We are working to get something done in the General Assembly (UN). We are forcing the UN Secretariat, through the Secretary General, to do something outside the UN. There may be not only one option. It may be to consider two or three different options that will give us the information we need
Reuters reminds that last month, Russia rejected the commission's annual update, and China abstained from voting.
