In Arria meeting on radicalization in prisons, 🇩🇪 stressed the importance of training and rehabilitation.

De-radicalization in prisons can only be successful if prisons are more than just confinement - they must be centers of re-socialization and reintegration. #GERinUNSC

EU6 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 🇵🇱 🇧🇪 🇪🇪 after #UNSC mtg on continued testing of ballistic missiles by DPRK: jointly condemn provocative actions of DPRK, which undermine regional security & stability, and int’l peace & security.

They are a clear violation of unanimously adopted #UNSC resolutions

[Germany in the United Nations @GermanyUN]

Speaking to the press ahead of #UNSC meeting, Ambassador Heusgen reiterates Germany's deep concern over & condemnation of #NorthKorea's most recent provocative actions, which are posing a threat to international peace and security. #GERinUNSC

[Germany in the United Nations @GermanyUN]

Amb Heusgen in the #UNSC on #NorthKorea is clear: sanctions are not a goal in themselves. We should not confound cause and effect. Sanctions can and should be lifted only when DPRK implements Security Council resolutions.
