The UN Security Council(UNSC) has unanimously condemned North Korea for its "irresponsible and provocative" attempts to evade sanctions.
 
The council’s permanent members held a closed-door meeting at the UN headquarters in New York on Monday and unveiled a statement emphasizing “the importance of full compliance" with sanctions resolutions.
 
The council members also vowed to exert joint efforts to lessen tension on the Korean Peninsula and make it nuclear-free. 
 
The council’s latest condemnation came in the wake of a report by a UN experts panel that assessed that Pyongyang was using "increasingly sophisticated" ways to evade UN sanctions.
 
The report described in detail how the North is selling North Korean-made military communications equipment to Eritrea via a Malaysia-based front company named Glocom, which is run by the North’s intelligence agency.
