There's no reason to think that North Korea will change its behavior under the current multilateral sanctions framework. For too long the international community has been reactive in addressing North Korea. Those days must come to an end. Failing to act now on the most pressing security issue in the world may bring catastrophic consequences. We have said this before and it bears repeating. The policy of strategic patience is over. All options for responding to future provocation must remain on the table. Diplomatic and financial levers of power will be backed up by willingness to counteract North Korean aggression with military action, if necessary. It is time for us to retake control of the situation. We ask the members of this council and all other partners to implement a new strategy to denuclearize North Korea. We must work together to adopt a new approach and impose increased diplomatic and economic pressures on the North Korean regime, the new campaign the United States is embarking on is driven by our own national security considerations It is welcomed by many nations who are concerned for their own security and question why North Korea clings to nuclear capabilities for which it has no need. Our goal is not regime change nor do we desire to threaten the North Korean people or destabilize the Asia Pacific region. I propose all nations take these three actions beginning today. First we call on you and member states to fully implement the commitments they have made regarding North Korea. This includes all measures required in resolutions 2321 and 2270. Those nations which have not fully enforced these resolutions fully discredit this body. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Second, we call on countries to suspend or downgrade diplomatic relations with North Korea. North Korea exploits its diplomatic privileges to fund its illicit nuclear and missile technology programs. And constraining its diplomatic activity will cut off a flow of needed resources. In light of North Korea's recent actions, normal relations with the DPRK are simply not acceptable. Third, we must increase North Korea's financial isolation. We must levy new sanctions on DPRK entities and individuals supporting its weapons and missile programs. And tighten those that are already in place. United States also would much prefer countries and people in question to own up to their lapses and correct their behaviour themselves. But we will not hesitate to sanction third countries entities and individuals supporting the DPRK illegal activities. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Tillerson Chairs U.N.
