Abstract:
In this talk, Alastair Morgan, Coordinator of the UN Panel of Experts on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and former UK Ambassador to the DPRK, will introduce the UN sanctions regime on the DPRK and its nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, and ballistic missile programmes. He will outline the role and work of the UN DPRK Sanctions Panel of Experts which he coordinates, including the findings in the Panel’s most recently published report. He will in particular stress the importance of effective national implementation of sanctions and of international collaboration on monitoring and enforcement, while analyzing the challenges in achieving an optimal level of international collaboration. Further, he will address the implications of the DPRK’s illicit programmes for security on the Korean Peninsula, in the region and beyond, and the state of diplomatic efforts to achieve verifiable denuclearization of the DPRK. Alastair will also draw on his previous experience as British Ambassador in Pyongyang for three years from 2015 to 2018, observing the DPRK from inside the country.
