AZUZ: International pressure is increasing for North Korea to give up its controversial missile and nuclear programs. The communist Asian country has shown no signs that it's willing to do that. It tried to test-fire another missile on Saturday. But U.S. officials say it's failed, apparently1 exploding while it was still over North Korean territory. Still, the attempt was an active defiance2 by the country.

It came after an announcement by India that it would stop all of its trade, except for food and medicine, with North Korea. Until that decision, India was reportedly its third biggest trading partner after China and Saudi Arabia.

For more than 10 years, the United Nations Security Council has tried to North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons program. It's done this through sanctions, penalties on North Korea's economy.

But even though India is a member of the United Nations and even though it's been elected to the U.N. Security Council several times before, it hasn't fully3 complied with U.N. sanctions on North Korea until now.

RICHARD ROTH, CNN SENIOR U.N. CORRESPONDENT: Welcome to the United Nations Security Council.

The one thing you need to know is that the Security Council is the most significant part of the U.N. because it's supposed to protect and maintain international peace and security in the world.

The Security Council is made up of 15 different countries. They sit here around this circular table. Five countries have had permanent status since the start of the Security Council over 70 years ago. They are the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia and China.

Their job is to determine if there is a threat to peace or an act of aggression4 somewhere in the world. It often calls on sides to settle differences by peaceful means or send envoys5 to start negotiations6.

If things don't go well, it's the Security Council that approves punishment to enforce cooperation in the form of sanctions. When all else fails, the Security Council can authorize7 the use of force to stop the fighting or threat.
