On March 2, 2016, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution strongly condemning the nuclear tests it conducted in January and imposing new sanctions on North Korea. Acting under Chapter VII, the Council decided “that all States shall inspect the cargo within or transiting through their territory, including in their airports, seaports and free trade zones, that has originated in the DPRK, or that is destined for the DPRK” and “that Member States shall prohibit their nationals and those in their territories from leasing or chartering their flagged vessels or aircraft or providing crew services to the DPRK.” These prohibitions will also apply “to any designated individuals or entities, any other DPRK entities, any other individuals or entities whom the State determines to have assisted in the evasion of sanctions or in violating the provisions of [previous] resolutions.” The Council further “call[ed] upon Member States to de‑register any vessel that is owned, operated or crewed by the DPRK” and to “prohibit their nationals, persons subject to their jurisdiction and entities incorporated in their territory or subject to their jurisdiction from registering vessels in the DPRK, obtaining authorization for a vessel to use the DPRK flag, and from owning, leasing, operating, providing any vessel classification, certification or associated service, or insuring any vessel flagged by the DPRK.” It also “decide[d] that all States shall deny permission to any aircraft to take off from, land in or overfly, unless under the condition of landing for inspection, their territory, if they have information that provides reasonable grounds to believe that the aircraft contains items the supply, sale, transfer or export of which is prohibited by [previous] resolutions,” except in cases of emergency landings. The resolution further prohibits the sale or supply of aviation fuel to North Korea and requires all member states to prohibit their nationals from dealing in coal, iron, iron ore, gold, titanium ore, vanadium ore, and rare earth minerals with North Korea. The resolution further calls on member states to expel any North Korean “diplomat, governmental representative, or other DPRK national acting in a governmental capacity” from its territory. Finally, the Council decided that “all Member States shall prevent specialized teaching or training of DPRK nationals within their territories or by their nationals of disciplines which could contribute to the DPRK’s proliferation sensitive nuclear activities or the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems.”
