UN Security Council Press Statement on Nuclear Test Conducted by Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
The members of the Security Council held urgent consultations to address the serious situation arising from the nuclear test conducted by the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] on January 6, 2016.
The members of the Security Council strongly condemned this test, which is a clear violation of Security Council resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), and 2094 (2013) and of the non-proliferation regime, and therefore a clear threat to international peace and security continues to exist.
The members of the Security Council also recalled that they have previously expressed their determination to take “further significant measures” in the event of another DPRK nuclear test, and in line with this commitment and the gravity of this violation, the members of the Security Council will begin to work immediately on such measures in a new Security Council resolution.
Secretary-General ‘Unequivocally’ Condemns Nuclear Step Announced by Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Demands End to Tests
The underground nuclear test announced by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on 6 January is deeply troubling. This test once again violates numerous Security Council resolutions despite the united call by the international community to cease such activities. It is also a grave contravention of the international norm against nuclear testing.
This act is profoundly destabilizing for regional security and seriously undermines international non-proliferation efforts. I condemn it unequivocally. I demand the DPRK cease any further nuclear activities and meet its obligations for verifiable denuclearization.
We are monitoring and assessing developments in close coordination with the concerned international organizations — including the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization — and interested parties.

Recommendation to adopt ILO proposals
Cabinet approves Recommendation to adopt ILO proposals for Transition from the informal into Formal Economy
The Indian Union Cabinet under the Chairmanship of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on 6th December 2015 has approved the proposal for placing the new Instrument adopted by International Labour Organization’s (ILO) recommendations concerning ‘The Transition from the Informal to the Formal Economy (No.204)’ before the Parliament.
The International Labour Conference of ILO at its 104th Session held in Geneva in June 2015 adopted the above recommendation. Its adoption was supported by India , represented at the Session by the Union Minister of State for Labour & Employment.
Under Article 19 of the ILO Constitution, each Member State of the ILO is required to submit the instruments adopted by the Conference before the competent authority (the Parliament in case of India ) within a period of one year from the closing session of the Conference.
Under the recommendation the member state will have to facilitate the transition of workers and economic units from the informal to the formal economy while respecting workers’ fundamental rights and promote creation, preservation and sustainability of enterprises and jobs in the formal economy.
There is no financial implication on India in adopting the ILO Recommendation, which is applicable to all workers in the country which ratifies the instrument.
