1. (SBU) Night Action precedence required due to action requested in
advance of scheduled United Nations Security Council meeting at 1500
EDT Monday, April 13.
2. (SBU) Addressees are requested to make an urgent demarche in their
capitals, at the highest appropriate level, drawing on the information
in this paragraph and in paragraph 3 below, to seek support of the
host government and of its UN Mission for a draft presidential
statement (PRST) about the recent North Korean missile launch.
This draft has achieved the support of the five permanent members
of the Council and of Japan, and represents a delicate balance of
interests. We would discourage further edits. We seek a consensus
adoption by the whole Security Council to promptly send a strong and
unified message to the DPRK. The PRST is currently under a silence
procedure, which, if unbroken, would permit its adoption as soon as
3 p.m. EDT on Monday, April 13.
3. (SBU) The draft that has been shared clearly and unequivocally
condemns the April 5 launch. It makes plain that this launch
contravenes Security Council Resolution 1718. It demands that the
DPRK not conduct any further launch, and calls upon the DPRK as well
as all member states to fully implement their obligations under 1718.
It also states that there will be additional strengthening of the
measures in 1718 through the designation of additional entities and
goods that are subject to sanctions. The entities, once designated,
would be subject to an asset freeze. Once additional goods
are designated, all states would be prohibited from supplying these
goods to, or procuring of these goods from, the DPRK. This PRST
would be a strong outcome from the Security Council, and meets all our
objectives.
4. (C) For posts' information only, the text of the draft PRST that
has been circulated to the Council is below. Please do not leave as
a nonpaper.
BEGIN TEXT
The Security Council bears in mind the importance of maintaining peace
and stability on the Korean peninsula and in northeast Asia as a
whole. The Security Council condemns the launch by the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on 5 April 2009, local time, which
is in contravention of Security Council resolution 1718 (2006).
The Security Council reiterates that the DPRK must comply fully with
Its obligations under Security Council resolution 1718 (2006).
The Security Council demands that the DPRK not conduct any further
launch.
The Security Council also calls upon all Member States to comply
Fully with their obligations under resolution 1718 (2006).
The Security Council agrees to adjust the measures imposed by
Paragraph 8 of resolution 1718 (2006) through the designation of
entities and goods, and directs the Committee established pursuant
to resolution 1718 (2006) to undertake its tasks to this effect
and to report to the Security Council by 24 April 2009, and further
agrees that, if the Committee has not acted, then the Security
Council will complete action to adjust the measures by 30 April
2009.
The Security Council supports the Six Party Talks, calls for their
early resumption, and urges all the participants to intensify their
efforts on the full implementation of the 19 September 2005 Joint
Statement issued by China, the DPRK, Japan, Republic of Korea, the
Russian Federation and the United States and their subsequent
STATE 00035897 002.2 OF 002
consensus documents, with a view to achieving the verifiable
denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful manner and
to maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in
northeast Asia.
The Security Council expresses its desire for a peaceful and
diplomatic solution to the situation and welcomes efforts by
Council members as well as other Member States to facilitate a
peaceful and comprehensive solution through dialogue.
The Security Council will remain actively seized of the matter.
