Annex to the note verbale dated 31 May 2016 from the Permanent Mission of Japan to the United Nations addressed to the Chair of the Committee

Report to the Security Council pursuant to paragraph 40 of Council resolution 2270 (2016)

1. The basic position of Japan

The nuclear test by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on 6 January 2016 and its subsequent ballistic missile launches, including the one on 7 February 2016, are, as clearly expressed by the Prime Minster of Japan, Shinzo Abe, in his statements, totally unacceptable as they constitute direct and grave threats to Japan's security and seriously undermine the peace and security of North-East Asia and the international community. The Prime Minister also stressed that the nuclear test and the ballistic missile launches are clear violations of relevant Security Council resolutions and represent a grave challenge to the authority of the Council and to the international disarmament and non-proliferation regime centred on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Security Council resolution 2270 (2016), which contains a very tough set of sanctions against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is of great significance because it embodies the international community's resolute stance against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which has forced through violations, including the launch of a ballistic missile on 7 February and the nuclear test on 6 January. The resolution also highlights Member States' gravest concern over the continued development of the nuclear and ballistic missile programmes of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The Government of Japan reiterates that it is extremely important that each Member State swiftly and fully implement the resolution in close coordination with other States to ensure its effectiveness.

Japan has been steadily undertaking measures to implement Security Council resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013) and 2270 (2016), and strongly urging the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to take concrete actions towards the resolution of outstanding issues of concern, such as the nuclear, missile and abductions issues.

The Government of Japan reaffirms that it will continue to cooperate closely with the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006), as well as the Panel of Experts established pursuant to resolution 1874 (2009), and will contribute to their work.

2. Measures with regard to resolution 2270 (2016)
