The UN Security Council (UNSC) on Monday backed a U.S.-proposed plan to streamline the process of obtaining humanitarian exemptions from international sanctions for aid deliveries to North Korea.
"We are glad that the Security Council agreed on the guidelines, and we hope they provide clarity on delivering humanitarian aid to the North Korean people without violating the sanctions," the Netherlands' deputy ambassador to the UN Lise Gregoire-van Haaren was quoted as having said.
