REPORT TO CONGRESS ON US SANCTIONS ON NORTH KOREA
On 14th June, the US Navy Institute News reported on a Congressional Research Service (CRS) report, ”North Korea: Legislative Basis for U.S. Economic Sanctions” of 11th June. The report details the effect of the sanctions on US-DPRK relations. It notes that restrictions on North Korea have been in place from as far back as 1950 – and the outbreak of the Korean War. It details the economic sanctions currently in place – relating to trade, aid, military supplies, access to assets and access to the US financial system – as well as those imposed by the UN. Of interest is Appendix B, which compares US and UN sanctions.
