UN Springs Into Action, Does Nothing

Susan Rice, our ambassador to the UN, says the most appropriate response to North Korea’s missile launch is to appeal to the UN Security Council.

Good luck with that: UN Security Council Adjourns Without Response to North Korea Rocket Launch.

The U.N. Security Council met in emergency session on Sunday afternoon to discuss concerns over North Korea’s launch of a long-range rocket. But the closed-door consultations did not produce a clear and unified response.

Diplomats say the council was unified in its deep concern over the launch, but that it could not immediately agree what form its response should take.
