UNITED NATIONS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 31st August, 2018) Russia has vetoed a report on North Korea by a UN Security Council independent panel over differences about its contents, Russian envoy Vassily Nebenzia said Thursday.
"We put on hold the report of 1718 Committee because we disagree with certain elements of the report, with the conduit of the business itself," he told reporters in New York City.
He said he could not divulge details of the confidential draft compiled by the UN Security Council's 1718 Sanctions Committee but said member states were concerned about repeated internet leaks.
"We and other delegations expressed concern about regular leaks of the Committee information to the press. You can look it up on the Internet. We requested to investigate it through the Committee but some members are not very willing to do so," Nebenzia added.
