The sanctions are radicalizing the leadership of these countries. They can be viewed as desperate measures to stop the nuclear programs.
Ever since The Axis of Evil speech and the invasion into Iraq as well as the fall of Gaddafi the change in direction of these countries are profound. I would venture to say the paths they are on are intractable. What reason does North Korea have to stop their current programs?

U.N. approves new sanctions against North Korea (click here)
The vote Thursday by the U.N.'s most powerful body on a resolution drafted by North Korea's closest ally, China, and the United States sends a powerful message to North Korea that the international community condemns its ballistic missile and nuclear tests - and its repeated violation of Security Council resolutions.
The new sanctions are aimed at making it more difficult for North Korea to finance and obtain material for its weapons programs....
The United Nation's Security Council needs to meet their sanctions with additional humanitarian aid. It is the only reasonable response to increased sanctions.
I don't doubt China is agreeing to the sanctions, it has already stated they have no influence with North Korea.
I think this is an incredible challenge and it requires more than simple sanctions to stop this insanity. There needs to be rigorous economic and humanitarian projects to add dignity to the people of these nations. When the people do better their leaders quite possibly will move away from their radical agendas which would of course cause deaths within their countries if they ever launched a nuclear attack on any other nation.
I don't believe any of their leaders what deaths within their nations. They have families, they have friends, they have religious affiliations that mean a great deal to them. They can't save them all in a retaliative attack on their countries.
Economic opportunities could easily bring cultural exchanges and an opening of dialogue between nation's peoples. Humanitarian opportunities are, of course, food but also needs to include medications and protected physician visits as well as the ability of the impoverished to survive the winter months and grow food during the summer months. It needs to include the ability to have clean water.
China could facilitate the movement of humanitarian aid to the people of North Korea to buffer the wrath of the leadership. It is a measure that has a great deal of hope to bring relief to the people of North Korea. With relief from suffering is the understanding the world is a much better place than they could have ever imagined. It would change the definition of the demands of the people from desperate to benevolence.
There is nothing to lose here, but, every opportunity to change the path of anger and desperation of nation's too overwhelmed by the power of other nations to invade.
