North Korea is warning the UN Security Council against criticising the country’s defence capabilities

This all follows the rogue nation restarting its missile program after a six-month hiatus.

But North Korea’s Foreign Ministry believes the UN is engaging in a game of double standards, and says it would never make such comments about America’s defence capabilities

North Korea said on Sunday the United Nations Security Council applied double standards over military activities among U.N. member states, state media KCNA said, amid international criticism over its recent missile tests. Edward Baran reports.

North Korea said on Sunday (October 3) the UN Security Council applied double standards over military activities among U.N. member states, state media KCNA said.

It comes amid international criticism over its recent missile tests.

The Council met behind closed doors on Friday upon requests from the United States and other countries over the North’s missile launches.

The meeting came a day after Pyongyang fired a newly developed anti-aircraft missile, the latest in a recent series of weapons tests.

They include the launches of a previously unseen hypersonic missile, ballistic missiles and a cruise missile with potential nuclear capabilities.

The North Korean foreign ministry’s Department of International Organisations said the Security Council meeting means an encroachment on its sovereignty.

It accused the Council of double standards as it remains silent about U.S. joint military exercises and weapons tests with allies.

North Korea warned the council could face consequences if it continues to breach the North’s sovereignty quote “with the double-dealing stick”

Pyongyang said in recent weeks that its weapons tests are aimed at boosting its defense capabilities.

Donald Trump has once again stunned the world, this time brokering a historic peace agreement between Morocco and Algeria—with the backing of the United Nations. The move has many wondering whether the former U.S. president is reinventing himself as a global peacemaker.

Professor Tim Harcourt from UTS breaks down how Trump managed to secure the deal and what role the UN played in formalizing the agreement. Morocco’s vow to protect Jewish communities and strengthen ties with Israel adds another layer to this surprising diplomatic twist.
