               Resolution 2321 (2016)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 7821st meeting, on
               30 November 2016

                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling its previous relevant resolutions, including resolution 825 (1993),
               resolution 1540 (2004), resolution 1695 (2006), resolution 1718 (2006), resolution
               1874 (2009), resolution 1887 (2009), resolution 2087 (2013), resolution 2094
               (2013), and resolution 2270 (2016), as well as the statements of its President of
               6 October 2006 (S/PRST/2006/41), 13 April 2009 (S/PRST/2009/7) and 16 April
               2012 (S/PRST/2012/13),
                    Reaffirming that proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, as
               well as their means of delivery, constitutes a threat to international peace and
               security,
                     Expressing its gravest concern at the nuclear test by the Democratic People’s
               Republic of Korea (“the DPRK”) on September 9, 2016 in violation of resolutions
               1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013) and 2270 (2016), and at the
               challenge such a test constitutes to the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear
               Weapons (“the NPT”) and to international efforts aimed at strengthening the global
               regime of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and the danger it poses to peace
               and stability in the region and beyond,
                    Underlining once again the importance that the DPRK respond to other
               security and humanitarian concerns of the international community,
                    Underlining also that measures imposed by this resolution are not intended to
               have adverse humanitarian consequences for the civilian population of the DPRK,
                     Expressing serious concern that the DPRK has continued to violate relevant
               Security Council resolutions through repeated launches and attempted launches of
               ballistic missiles, and noting that all such ballistic missile activities contribute to the
               DPRK’s development of nuclear weapons delivery systems and increase tension in
               the region and beyond,
                    Expressing continued concern that the DPRK is abusing the privileges and
               immunities accorded under the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular
               Relations,

               missiles while DPRK citizens have unmet needs,
                    Expressing its gravest concern that the DPRK’s ongoing nuclear - and ballistic

S/RES/2322 (2016)

               expressing concern that terrorists benefit from transnational organized crime in
               some regions, including from the trafficking of arms, persons, drugs, and artifacts,

               for ransom and other crimes including extortion and bank robbery,

               the Internet, to facilitate terrorist acts, and condemning their use to incite, recruit,
               fund, or plan terrorist acts,
                     Expressing concern also at the continued flow of international recruits to ISIL,
               Al- Qaida, and associated groups, and recalling its resolution 2178 (2014) deciding
               that Member States shall, consistent with international human rights law,
               international refugee law, and international humanitarian law, prevent and suppress

               the financing of their travel and of their activities,
                     Particularly concerned at the growing involvement of terrorist groups,
               especially in areas of conflict, in the destruction and the trafficking in cultural
               property and related offences, and recognizing the indispensable role of
               international cooperation in crime prevention and criminal justice responses to
               combat such trafficking and related offences in a comprehensive and effective
               manner,
                     Reiterating the obligation of Member States to prevent the movement of
               terrorists and terrorist groups, in accordance with applicable international law, by,
               inter alia, effective border controls, and, in this context, to exchange information

               movement of terrorists and terrorist groups to and from their territories, the supply
               of weapons for terrorists, and financing that would support terrorists,
                     Stressing that terrorism can only be defeated by a sustained and
               comprehensive approach involving the active participation and collaboration of all
               States and international and regional organizations to impede, impair, isolate, and
               incapacitate the terrorist threat,
                     Underlining the importance of strengthening international cooperation,
               including by investigators, prosecutors and judges, in order to prevent, investigate
               and prosecute terrorist acts, and recognizing the persisting challenges associated
               with strengthening international cooperation in combating terroris m including in
               stemming the flow of FTFs to and returning from conflict zones, in particular due to
               the cross border nature of the activity,
                     Stressing that the development and maintenance of fair and effective criminal
               justice systems should be a fundamental basis of any strategy to counter terrorism
               and transnational organized crime,
                     Recalling that timely cooperation and action, in accordance with international
               obligations, can help States to prevent FTFs from travelling to conflict zones,
               develop effective strategies to deal with returnees, preserve through law
               enforcement and judicial authorities critical evidence for legal proceedings, and
               facilitate the implementation of procedures for prosecution,

           re-establishing a permanent presence in Libya through a phased return, as security
           conditions allow and to make the necessary security arrangements to this effect;
