U.N. Chief Wants Security Council Response to N. Korea Nuclear Test

The U.N. chief said Monday that a second nuclear test by North Korea would represent "a clear violation" of a United Nations Security Council resolution.The 15-nation council has called an emergency session on the matter for later Monday at U.N. headquarters in New York."I sincerely hope that the Security Council will take necessary corresponding measures," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told The Associated Press, declining to specify what further measures, or sanctions, he would urge the council members to take.Ban, who was in Copenhagen for a global business summit on climate change, said he would closely monitor the meeting in New York.New testing by North Korea would undermine peace and security in the region, Ban said, and he urged the communist nation "to refrain from taking any actions which will deteriorate the situation."
