- Acknowledging Security Council resolution 2397 (2017) of 22 December 2017, in which the Council noted that 41 per cent of the population of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was undernourished, and General Assembly resolution 72/188, in which the Assembly noted with concern the findings of the United Nations that well over half of the people in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea suffered from major insecurities in food and medical care, including a very large number of pregnant and lactating women and children under 5 who were at risk of malnutrition, and nearly a quarter of its total population was suffering from chronic malnutrition, condemned the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea for diverting its resources into pursuing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles over the welfare of its people, and emphasized the necessity for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to respect and ensure the welfare and inherent dignity of the people in the country, as referred to by the Council in its resolutions 2321 (2016) of 30 November 2016, 2371 (2017) of 5 August 2017, 2375 (2017) of 11 September 2017 and 2397 (2017),
