[VOA KOREA News] South Korea Sentences Official for ‘North Korea Remittance’ Case… “Calls for Global Compliance with Sanctions” States Department. Source: https://youtu.be/u-pxmwtzlJ0 The U.S. State Department has emphasized the importance of implementing sanctions against North Korea in response to a recent ruling in South Korea, where a political figure was sentenced to prison on charges of conspiring to remit funds to North Korea. The State Department stated that sanctions against North Korea remain in effect and urged all nations to speak out with a strong and unified voice to pressure North Korea to cease its reckless behavior. In response to the South Korean appellate court’s sentencing of a former deputy governor of Gyeonggi Province to prison, the U.S. State Department reiterated the need for adherence to the United Nations Security Council resolutions on North Korea. On December 20, a State Department spokesperson told VOA that it is crucial for the international community to send a strong and unified message urging North Korea to stop its irresponsible actions, comply with its obligations under UN Security Council resolutions, and engage in serious and sustained diplomacy. The spokesperson also stressed that UN sanctions against North Korea remain valid, and the U.S. will continue to encourage all member states to enforce them, including through diplomatic efforts with the UN and North Korea’s neighboring countries. […] Delivering cash to North Korean officials constitutes a clear violation of UN Security Council resolutions on sanctions against North Korea. The U.S. government strictly regulates transactions with North Korea through presidential executive orders, regulations from the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and laws enacted by Congress. Individuals, groups, or entities in third countries that violate these regulations may face sanctions from the U.S. government. submitted by /u/PutridPromotion1386 |
