Security Council Resolution 1718 on North Korea?s Nuclear Test
On October 14, 2006, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 1718 (2006), reacting to the announcement on October 9, 2006, by North Korea (the Democratic People?s Republic of Korea, or DPRK) that it had conducted an underground nuclear weapon test. The resolution contains several uncommon provisions that warrant closer inspection from a legal perspective, in particular regarding their conformity with UN Charter law and the limits (if any) on the competences of the Security Council.
