North Korea yet to stopped nuclear, missile programs —UN
North Korea has pressed ahead with its nuclear and missile programs and continues to evade UN sanctions through increased illegal ship -to -ship transfers of oil products at sea, a UN report said Friday.In a 62 -page report sent to the Security Council , the UN panel of experts also listed violations of a ban on North Korean exports of coal, iron , seafood and other products that generate millions of dollars in revenue for Kim Jong Un ’ s regime .
Pyongyang “has not stopped its nuclear and missile programs and continued to defy Security Council resolutions through a massive increase in illicit ship -to -ship transfers of petroleum products, as well as through transfers of coal at sea during 2018, ” said the report , seen by AFP .
The transfer of petroleum products to North Korean tankers at sea remains “ a primary method of sanctions evasion ” involving 40 vessels and 130 associated companies , it added .
The violations have rendered the latest batch of sanctions “ ineffective ” by flouting the cap on oil , fuel and coal imposed in a raft of UN resolutions adopted last year , it added .
At a historic June summit with US President Donald Trump , North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed up to a vague commitment of “ denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula ” in the hope of getting UN and US sanctions relief .
Trump however has repeatedly warned Pyongyang that the sanctions must remain in place and could even be tightened as long as there is no progress on ending its nuclear and ballistic missile programs .
