Sanctions experts from the United States and Britain noted that North Korea is violating sanctions in multiple ways and suggested countermeasures. Some argue that the use of secondary boycotts can increase the effectiveness of the implementation of the UN Security Council resolution on North Korea. Reporter Ji Da-gyeom reports.
William Newcomb, a former member of the North Korean Sanctions Committee’s expert panel, criticized many countries for failing to implement the sanctions.
[녹취: 뉴콤 전 위원] “Too many states have not implemented the resolutions.”On the 19th, a former member of Newcomm pointed out in a video event made by the private US organization ‘Korea Society’ on the subject of sanctions against North Korea, and cited the report on the implementation of sanctions against North Korea presented by the member states of the UN.
Not only are specific details not specified in the performance report, but the method of implementation of sanctions is “inaccurate” or the degree of implementation is “incomplete.”
A former Newcomb member also cited a report by the US Institute for International Science and Security (ISIS) published in July, noting that there were 250 cases in which 62 countries, including China and Russia, violated the US sanctions resolution. UN Security Council.
He added that given the development of North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile programs and the state of luxury goods imports, there will be a great deal of sanction evasion and violations that are unknown to the international community.
“North Korea implements different forms of financial proliferation activities by country”
Dalya Dolzikova, a researcher at the British Joint Military Research Institute (RUSI), told the meeting that North Korea will seize every opportunity for proliferation fund-building, movement and financing.
Proliferation financing is the act of providing funds or financial services used for the development, production and acquisition of nuclear and biochemical weapons.
[녹취: 돌지코바 연구원] “The only thing that remains constant is that North Korea will seize any opportunity that comes its way to generate funds, to move those funds, to obtain potentially proliferation-sensitive activities … And it will do it differently in each region and each. country any opportunity that exists. “Researcher Dolzykova noted that North Korea will implement proliferation financing in different ways in all regions and countries where it has the opportunity.
He also stressed that the scope of North Korea’s sanctions evasion is too broad and that not only countries but also related private institutions should take a “broader and more holistic approach” to proliferation financing.
Researcher Dolzykova said that the ‘screening’ procedure to determine whether or not they are subject to sanctions is not sufficient, emphasizing that it is very important to conduct a risk assessment to determine the scope and extent of exposure to financial activities of proliferation of North Korea.
“At least 150 ships of foreign nationality exposed to illegal North Korean activities”
Cameron Trainer researcher at the Center for Non-Proliferation Research (CNS) James Martin says North Korea has detected signs that North Korea continues to evade maritime sanctions this year.
In particular, after analyzing the Automatic Vessel Identification System (AIS) signals from North Korean tankers for 11 months from January this year to this month, he said they found they did not call at foreign ports such as China and Russia.
Through this, he explained that he came to the conclusion that the North Korean tanker conducts ‘transshipment between ships’ (STS) and engages in illegal activities.
[녹취: 트레이너 연구원] “Ship-to-ship transfers are not one of the allowed ways to import oil. Seeing that North Korean tankers do not enter foreign ports leads us to conclude that these tankers are involved in illicit activities. ”A trainer researcher also revealed that at least 150 foreign nationals were exposed to some degree of illegal activities by North Korea, according to reports from the UN Panel of Experts and observations of maritime activities.
He noted that some of these are tied to North Korea or run by people who want to work directly with North Korea, but most of them are foreign ships associated with some of the same companies that provide related services.
The trainer researchers emphasized that when countries decide whether to use a ship’s flag, the association with the company should be used as an indicator of risk, and the jurisdiction in which the company is registered should also closely examine them.
“It is important to increase the effectiveness of sanctions against North Korea … Secondary boycott is one way”
A former member of the Newcomm Sanctions Committee’s Panel of Experts on North Korea said: “It is very important for the international community to improve the effectiveness of sanctions against North Korea, and it can be done.”
[녹취: 뉴콤 전 위원] “It is really crucial that we improve the effectiveness of the sanctions against North Korea. And I think it is possible to do it. “If North Korea does not test long-range and nuclear missiles, the United Nations Security Council is unlikely to impose new sanctions or toughen sanctions against North Korea, so enforcement of the current sanctions should be improved.
In this sense, former Commissioner Newcomm stressed that it is very important to recognize that countries like the United States and the European Union can achieve much more with secondary boycotts or third-party sanctions.
[녹취: 뉴콤 전 위원] “So what needs to be done is to improve the enforcement of sanctions on the books. And that’s where it becomes very important to recognize that member states, particularly key ones like the US or the EU or the collection, can do much more with secondary sanctions … ”A former Newcom member pointed out that the imposition of a secondary boycott not only strengthens the implementation of the Security Council resolution against North Korea, but also induces countries that do not properly implement sanctions to implement the sanctions.
