LEAD: N. Korea warns UNSC against adoption of further measures+

North Korea said Friday that if the U.N. Security Council takes further
measures to punish the country for its second nuclear test, it will take
''stronger self-defensive countermeasures.''

In a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency, a Foreign
Ministry spokesman also said the country will not recognize any resolution or
decision the Security Council takes against its latest nuclear test.
''If the UNSC will make further provocative actions, this will inevitably lead
to the DPRK's approach towards adopting stronger self-defensive
counter-measures,'' the statement said.
''The world will soon find out how the army and people of the DPRK will stand
up against the high-handed and get-it-alone approach of the UNSC in defending
its dignity and sovereignty,'' it said.
DPRK is an acronym for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the country's
official name.
North Korea earlier announced it had carried out an underground nuclear test
Monday ''to bolster up its nuclear deterrent for self-defense in every way.''
It follows one the country conducted in October 2006.
Friday's statement further warned that UNSC action against North Korea would
spell an end to armistice agreement that ended the 1950-1953 Korean War.
''Any hostile act by the UNSC immediately means the abrogation of the Armistice
Agreement,'' it said.
The statement demanded the Security Council ''make an apology for its crime of
having seriously encroached upon the sovereignty of a sovereign state...and
that it withdraw all its previously crafted, unfair resolutions and
decisions.''
''As long as the UNSC fails to respond to the DPRK's just demand, the DPRK will
not recognize any resolution and decision of the UNSC in the future, too,'' it
said.
The statement also said that as North Korea is neither a signatory to the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty nor the Missile Technology Control Regime, it
has a right to conduct nuclear tests or missile launches if its supreme
interests are infringed upon.
''Such self-defensive measures do not run counter to any other international
law,'' it said.
