Kim Jong Un has not halted nuclear missile programmes despite his talks with Trump, UN warns
A new report by the United Nations warns that North Korea has not
stopped its nuclear and missile production despite the promise made by
President Kim Jong Un after talks with US President Donald Trump.
A summary of the report by experts looking into UN sanctions against
Pyongyang found that Pyongyang was violating international sanctions,
including "a massive increase in illicit ship-to-ship transfers of
petroleum products". North Korea is also accused of violating sanctions
by transferring coal at sea and is disregarding an arms and financial
sanctions embargo.
Ship-to-ship transfers for petroleum products, oil and coal, are
among some of the "increasingly sophisticated evasion techniques" used
by North Korea to side-step sanctions.
Experts also claim North Korea has tried to sell weaponry and other
military equipment through foreign intermediaries, including Syrian arms
traffickers, Houthi Shiite rebels in Yemen, as well as Libya and Sudan.
Military co-operation between North Korea and Bashar al-Assad's regime
were also continuing despite sanctions, the experts added.
