The launch on Wednesday was an attempt by North Korea to put its first spy satellite into space, but it ended in failure, with the booster and payload plunging into the sea.
The United States condemned the launch, saying it violated multiple UN Security Council resolutions and risked destabilizing the security situation in the region and beyond.
The U.S. mission to the UN called for an open meeting on the launch, which means the proceedings will be streamed live.
The meeting is expected to take place on Friday.
