UN Security Council unanimously adopts new sanctions on North Korea

New and significant measures unanimously adopted following slight delay on vote

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) unanimously adopted a new resolution against North Korea on Wednesday in response to the country’s fourth nuclear test and recent satellite launch.
