We made this clear at an emergency session of the UN Security Council and warned that a full-scale offensive would risk a humanitarian catastrophe. We with the US, France and eight other countries issued a joint statement on 10 May and we released a further statement with France and Germany on 13 May. We will continue to call out the regime and its backers for their actions and to press all sides to return to the ceasefire agreed last September at Sochi.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 15/05/2019 15:17:42 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government is actively working with international partners to fully implement all relevant UN Security Council measures in respect of North Korea. The UK has contributed four Royal Navy vessels in the past year to a US-coordinated maritime sanctions enforcement operation. We have lobbied widely to encourage all States to enforce sanctions on North Korea and to stem major sources of illicit revenue for North Korea, such as overseas labourers and cyber-crime. Until North Korea takes concrete steps towards its complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation sanctions must remain and all states must continue to enforce them in full.</p><p>We also welcome the work of the UN Panel of Experts who report on States’ implementation of UN Security Council measures. The Panel’s latest report details continued evasion of sanctions by North Korea. The Panel of Experts reports can be found at <a href="https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/sanctions/1718/panel_experts/reports" target="_blank">https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/sanctions/1718/panel_experts/reports</a>.</p><p>​</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 16/05/2019 13:57:55 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
