Following the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) nuclear testing on 9 October 2006 the Security Council determines, through resolution 1718, that the situation constitutes a threat to international peace and security. A resolution which was previously adopted in July 2006, resolution 1695, is thereby strengthened with mandatory measures. The measures include an arms embargo on conventional weapons, on all items that can contribute to DPRK’s programmes on weapons of mass destruction, and on all related training and services. Sanctions on luxury goods and asset freezes are also imposed. All assets on the territory of any Member State that are owned or controlled by individuals or entities that are involved with DPRK’s programmes that are related to weapons of mass destruction are to be frozen. The individuals and entities targeted are those that are specified by the Committee or the Security Council. Persons designated, and their families, are also banned from travelling.
