Sovereignty of the British Indian Ocean Territory is clearly a matter for the UK and Mauritius to resolve ourselves. Taking this bilateral issue to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) through the General Assembly is an inappropriate use of the ICJ mechanism. This is reflected in the fact that over half of General Assembly members did not vote in favour of the resolution.

A peaceful solution to this crisis requires a concerted international effort to maximise political and economic pressure on the leadership in Pyongyang and bring the DPRK back to the negotiating table. The EU needs to play its part by stepping up this pressure.</p> answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 19/09/2017 10:26:01 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>The UN Security Council has already – and unanimously – imposed increasingly stringent sanctions on North Korea in order to limit its ability to pursue its nuclear weapons programme. As I made clear in my statement to Parliament on 5 September, the UK is looking at measures that can increase the pressure on Pyongyang to change course. We are working with our international partners to ensure that all existing measures currently in place are fully implemented.</p> answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 19/09/2017 10:49:15 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>We are focused on working with our international partners to increase pressure on the regime so that they change direction and open the way towards peaceful resolution. The international community has universally and repeatedly condemned North Korea's flagrant disregard for international rules and systems. We are united in increasing the pressure on North Korea's leaders to stop their destabilising actions, including their illegal ballistic missile and nuclear tests. The North Korean regime is the cause of this problem, and they will need to show a serious and measurable change in their behaviour to create the right conditions for talks.</p> answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 19/09/2017 09:40:47 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson
