The U.N. Security Council could adopt a presidential statement as early as Monday that denounces North Korea’s April fifth rocket launch.

On Saturday, the council’s five permanent members and Japan drew up a draft of the statement.

The 15 members of the council have briefed their respective governments of the draft, and raising the possibility that the adoption of the statement by all members of the council could come around Monday evening or early Tuesday.

The statement would condemn North Korea’s rocket launch which, the council says, is in contravention of Security Council resolution 1718. The statement also urges the North to refrain from carrying out further launches.

In particular, the statement urges the U.N. Sanctions Committee to designate entities and goods to face sanctions by Friday of next week.

Diplomatic sources say the United States and Japan accepted China and Russia’s request to refrain from seeking a stronger resolution against North Korea and instead settled for strong wording under a presidential statement.
