WOW!! From the linked article:
The strongly worded draft statement, which calls the rocket launch a
"contravention" of the UN's ban on North Korea's ballistic missile
program, represents a climb-down for Moscow and Beijing as it
acknowledges that the launch was not aimed at putting a satellite in
space.
This is quite an accomplishment for the Obama administration, including SofS Clinton and the UN Ambassador.
