Almost anything the UNSC does about North Korea is ineffectual as North Korea, with its nuclear arsenal, thrives on brinkmanship. North Korea enjoys thumbing its nose at the UNSC as the UNSC means Big Time Recognition that North Korea enjoys.

It is very much up to China to pressure North Korea. Parking many Chinese tanks near the border with North Korea was significantly effective during the North Korea-South Korea confrontation a month ago.
