The statement said that the above-said resolution of the UNSC would only help escalate the confrontation and tension between the south and the north, far from finding a solution to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.

It continued:

If the UNSC truly stands for a peaceful solution of the nuclear issue on the peninsula, it should withdraw its illegal "resolution on sanctions." The U.S., Japan and the Lee Myung Bak "government" should stop their racket for aggression and roll back their hostile policy towards the north.

If the Lee regime opts to play the role of a shock brigade in implementing the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK which will bring dark clouds of war to hang on the peninsula in a bid to weather its political crisis, it will not escape a stern judgment of the nation and the people.

The Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration will always take the lead in the actions to denounce the above-mentioned resolution of the UNSC, put an end to confrontation and tension on the peninsula and achieve reconciliation and peace.

Meanwhile, the organization on Monday issued a statement titled "Let's defend the June 15 joint declaration through a struggle to force the Lee Myung Bak regime to step down" on the occasion of the 9th anniversary of the publication of the June 15 joint declaration.
