Office of the Spokesperson
“The following text was released by the Governments of the United States of America, Australia, “”Canada, France, Germany, Italy,”” Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, and t””he United Kingdom,”” on the occasion of “”Establishing the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team.”
“Begin Text.”
We, the participating states of the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team, are aligned in our commitment to uphold international peace and security and to safeguard the global non-proliferation regime and address the threat arising from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and ballistic missile programs, which are in violation of UN Security Council resolutions (UNSCRs).
In light of the veto which disbanded the UN Security Council’s 1718 Committee Panel of Experts this year, we hereby express our intention to establish a Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team (MSMT), a multilateral mechanism to monitor and report violations and evasions of the sanction measures stipulated in the relevant UNSCRs. The goal of the new mechanism is to assist the full implementation of UN sanctions on the DPRK by publishing information based on rigorous inquiry into sanctions violations and evasion attempts.
We underscore our shared determination to fully implement relevant UNSCRs regarding the DPRK, reaffirm that the path to dialogue remains open, and call on all states to join global efforts to maintain international peace and security in the face of the ongoing threats from the DPRK.
“End Text.”
