“8. Decides that:
(f) in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of this paragraph, and thereby preventing illicit trafficking in nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, their means of delivery and related materials, all Member States are called upon to take, in accordance with their national authorities and legislation, and consistent with international law, cooperative action including through inspection of cargo to and from the DPRK, as necessary . . . ."
THE United States is monitoring a North Korean vessel that appears to be suspicious, a US intelligence source said today.
"It isn't clear what it's carrying. It's a suspicious vessel," the source said. The "CBS Evening News," quoting US intelligence sources, reported that a North Korean ship possibly carrying military equipment banned by UN sanctions had left that country for an unknown destination.
The report said the ship was being tracked while US officials tried to determine what was on board and what to do about it. No other details were available.

IOW
All cargo is to be inspected, on the high seas, whether suspected or not.
I assume that we'll do the right thing here.But regardless of any UN resolution there'll be an outcry from numerous countries if we board or otherwise impede the progress of this ship.
In fact,it seems possible that our boarding the vessel could cause a very serious problem...because Kim Mentally Ill isn't *nearly* as sane or well balanced as was the Soviet leadership in '62.
