PYONGYANG, June 20 (Xinhua) -- If South Korea enforced a UN Security
Council resolution against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), "it
would mean a war," a commentary carried by the Rodong Sinmun daily said
Saturday.
The article, titled "Participating in 'Sanctions' Will Draw Disaster," said
South Korea enforcing the UN resolution was a "severe provocative action against
the DPRK."
It warned that the DPRK will "mercilessly retaliate the intruder," if South
Korea "infringed upon the sovereignty of the DPRK" by the pretext of enforcing
the UN resolution.
The UN Security Council last Friday unanimously approved wider sanctions
against the DPRK over its May 25 nuclear test.
The resolution banned all weapons exports from the DPRK and most arms
imports into the country. It authorized UN member states to inspect the DPRK's
sea, air and land cargo, requiring them to seize and destroy any goods
transported in violation of the sanctions.
