UN Security Council condemns rocket launch

"The UN Security Council has formally condemned North Korea's April 5 long-range rocket launch in a non-binding statement that finds Pyongyang "in contravention" of Security Council resolution 1718, which bars it from missile-related activities."

North Korea was "formally condemned" in a "non-binding statement" for being "in contravention" of a prior resolution?

In the real world, they just told North Korea they can get away with it.

Doing nothing would have made the U.N. look stronger.
