The UN committee charged with monitoring sanctions on North Korea last week continued to approve months-old humanitarian exemption requests, this time to allow a French NGO to ship equipment to the DPRK for a number of food security projects.
In a letter dated August 1, the 1718 Sanctions Committee approved the shipment of items for three projects first requested by Triangle Génération Humanitaire (TGH) in February, when only a partial approval was granted for two other projects listed relating to elderly care.
