Classified By: IO PDAS James Warlick for reasons 1.5 b and d. 
 
¶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.
