So what is going to happen with N. Korea?

In regards to being sent to the security council, there are two states which wield vetoing powers, Russia and China. So if they say no sanctions, then what?

I mean it's all over the papers that Japan has imposed sanctions or wants to impose sanctions but each and everytime it's but..... Russia and China don't wait to!

So what happens???

Same as always.

Those countries that want to impose economic sanctions at their own level will do so and enforce as they see fit.

Yep unlike Iraq North Korea is a nation that would need to get its ass kicked and then it would reunite with South Korea and all things would be running fine in a few years.

They don't want refugees (They, especially China, will receive a bulk of the refugees).

Not a damn thing for the next ~50 yrs ( assuming he lives to be about ~80 ). He'll keep his country isolated and under his complete control. From time to time Kim Jong Il will want some attention so he'll make a big stink every couple of years by firing off some crappy missiles into the Sea of Japan. He doesn't like all the attention Iran is getting from the major powers. We'll give him some stuff that doesn't really amount to anything important, meanwhile N. Korean people will never hear about any of this. We should just put our effort into westernizing / normalizing relations with Iran - they'd be a great market for US goods and services - it would probably be 100x easier than messing with N. Korea.

Wasn't he born in 1941? Wouldn't fifty more years...put him at around one hundred or so 😀 He is in his sixties...and hopefully we see only about twenty more years with Jong before he croaks and dies...then all we can do is hope that the government will either give up and falter, or it will adopt a MUCH more moderate tone. The best I can see is simply to keep North Korea capped till Jong dies, or someone tries to overthrow him and hope it is sucessful
Reunifacation between the two countries is not a good economic option for south Korea in the short run. North korea has a LOT to catch up to and we would easily see a flood of North Korean immigrants into places like Seoul, and Southern Koreans taking advantage of extremely low prices in north korea and carpet bagging the area to the dismay of the North Koreans. If reunifacation was a serious issue, first the current government has to go. After that, it needs to be planned out over a VERY long term plan where the goal is to help North Korea gets on its feet without destroying the South's economy...only then can we see a unified "Korea".

Oh, and the cultural barriers will be a huge factor when it comes to the integration of both countries~ We should take the lessons from Germany.
