Draft UN council statement "condemns" N.Korea launch

Sat Apr 11, 2009 3:00pm EDT

The draft statement, which the five permanent members of the Security Council and Japan agreed and circulated to the other nine council members on Saturday, also called on the U.N. sanctions committee to take steps to enforce existing sanctions against North Korea.
