UN Security Council 'punishment'

Story: "The United Nations Security Council endorsed on Saturday international sanctions aimed at dismantling North Korea's nuclear program.The Stalinist state rejected the document, accusing the United States of having "manipulated" the Security Council's other 14 member states.The Security Council’s unanimous move, which was also designed to ensure North Korea suspends efforts to build a ballistic missile, followed intensive last-minute negotiations in which the United States aimed to allay Russian and Chinese concerns the sanctions package contained provisions that could lead to war."

Hat tip to Seth Jackson.
I wonder how the UN plans to enforce this 'punishment'. The same way they did with Saddam and Iran?
In that case, nothing will come of this but a broken UN resolution.
