UNSC expands sanctions on North Korea

After North Korea’s defiant testing of nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles, the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously on 2nd March to severely toughen its penalties against the isolated country.
The 15-member Council approved a resolution, negotiated for weeks by American and Chinese officials, that called for inspecting all cargo going in and out of the country, banning all weapons trade and expanding the list of individuals facing sanctions.
The list of banned goods was expanded by the resolution to include luxury watches, Jet Skis and snowmobiles worth more than $2,000. 
It is also up to China to control a booming network of trade and smuggling across its 870-mile border with North Korea.
North Korea is a country in East Asia, in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. 
The name Korea is derived from the Kingdom of Goguryeo, also spelled as Koryŏ. The capital and largest city is Pyongyang. 
North Korea shares a land border with China to the north and northwest, along the Amnok (Yalu) and Tumen rivers, and a small section of the Tumen River also forms a border with Russia to the northeast.
