"BBC Diplomatic Correspondent, Jonathan Marcus, says it is far from clear if the latest moves at the UN will achieve the desire outcome of bringing North Korea back to the negotiating table.

He says much depends on the actions of individual governments, and it is clear that China remains deeply uneasy about cargo inspections."

"The Chinese ambassador,Zhang Yesui...described the resolution as "appropriate and balanced" but said measures authorising states to inspect cargo should be handled prudently, with no use - or threat - of force."
