The operations of the U.N. Panel of Experts on sanctions on North Korea are set to cease at the end of April as the Panel’s current mandate expires. Russia’s veto on a U.N. Security Council resolution to extend the mandate will mark the conclusion of the U.N. body, which has been tasked with monitoring compliance with the sanctions regime. We cordially invite you to join the GW Institute for Korean Studies and the Institute for Peace and Unification Studies at Seoul National University for an engaging panel discussion where experts will delve into critical issues surrounding the efficacy and impact of current sanctions policies on North Korea. Our distinguished panelists will explore various facets of the sanctions regime, shedding light on key themes such as North Korea’s evolving dynamics with Russia and sanctions violations, the extent of China’s cooperation in enforcing sanctions against North Korea, the economic consequences of the changing sanctions landscape on North Korea, and strategies to fine-tune and optimize the sanctions policy.
