It appears that China is now on board for this.
Ratification remains, but China is expected to ratify.

UNSC "resolutions" are not worth the paper they are written on.

And North Korea has already returned a big "Fuck You" in return. As usual,
the resolution has no language threatening military intervention should the
resolution be ignored, and is therefor reduced to a polite request to stop
doing what they are doing. What a joke.
You know that. I know that. But the eurolemmings think that the YOU-ENN
is the absolute-est, bestest, lastest, word on anything that comes up
amongst nashuns or about "rights" or a plethora of other things that they
have no business nosing around in. Syria, Libya, Iran, and Saudi Arabia
have been members of the UN human rights body and who could ask for a better
comedy scene than that! It's a collection of dictators, tyrants and thugs
run by criminals -- what better organizational chart for the pinklet
self-loathing euroweenies could you have? The peacekeepers can't keep
peace(Southern Lebanon), the "human aid" workers trade food for sex with
children (Africa), they run when things get hot (Iraq), they turn their
backs on genocide (Rwanda), ignore terrorism -- I mean dey da man! Oil for
food meant money for Kofi -- and he still runs the show with a straight
face.
I just saw an interview and an UNphile said "well, if the UN says North
Korea has to do these things, then they *have* to". The interviewer
responded with "What if they just say 'no'".
North Korea just said 'no' in what John Bolton said was a record -- 45
minutes from the time of the resolution.
Sort of reminds one of how Japan, italy, and Germany just pulled out of the
League of Nations when it went against them.

Yeah, as I understand it, the UNSC "stick" is to "demand" that no
trade relating to North Korea's "illegal" arms programs be allowed to
take place. Seriously. That's it. And surely France, China,
Russia, and North Korea's Muslim clients will follow that paper
"demand" to a tee!

He is such a nice man. I would just love to see his coin collection.

I'm sure that is exactly what the Chinese told them to say.

Yeah, except that North Korea poses no existential threat to anyone.
The best they can do is effect the death of a few hundred thousand
people. I don't think there is a nation on earth that they are
capable of bringing down. The Axis powers, now, that was a different
scenario.

If it doesn't change anything, on what grounds can it possibly be
considered better?
I may feel obliged to renew my call for the institution of an armed Logic
Police with broad powers...
All the best,

And some countries wouldn't even join in in the first place?

Wow!!! Artie!!!
Did you ever get me there!
Not that it had anything at all to do with what I was talking about.......
So staying within the topic as much as you are, do you still have those ear
necklaces that your great grands brought back from Tasmania?
