North Korea will soon be able to flout sanctions more easily

Live Mint  

SEOUL—At a high-security location at the United Nations headquarters in New York, a group of investigators watched a presentation early last year with satellite imagery showing tankers picking up shipments in Chinese waters and elsewhere, and then traveling to North Korea’s oil facilities. The suggestion that North Korea’s oil tankers had ferried barrels of wine drew laughter from around the room—including from the Russian—but it was an example of the divisions in the group that have made enforcing sanctions on the Kim regime increasingly difficult, the people said. ‘Fewer Monitoring Eyes’ The Panel of Experts emerged after North Korea was sanctioned following its first nuclear test in 2006. In blocking the extension of the Panel of Experts, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, said the sanctions were no longer helpful to resolving the tensions on the Korean Peninsula. At the same meeting, Geng Shuang, China’s U.N. ambassador, said sanctions have harmed the livelihoods of North Koreans and that the penalties “should not be carved in stone or be indefinite."
