The United States presented a draft to the United Nations Security Council resolution seeking to dramatically tighten existing restrictions on North Korea, reports Reuters.
The draft calls on UN member states to conduct inspections of all cargo passing through their territory to or from North Korea to look for illicit goods.
The resolution added further calls for bans on all supplies of aviation and rocket fuel to North Korea.
US Ambassador to the United Natiosn Samantha Power told reporters that the new measures would be ‘the strongest set of sanctions imposed by the Security Council in more than two decades.”
The draft resolution comes after North Korea after its Jan 6 nuclear test.
