 South Korean businesspeople who purchased artwork from a sanctioned North Korean art studio were ultimately prosecuted for violating ROK law, according to an unpublished U.N. Panel of Experts (PoE) report seen by NK News. A 96-person delegation from the World Federation of Korean Association of Commerce visited the controversial Mansudae Art Studio while touring Pyongyang in Nov. 2018. Several of them purchased artwork from the studio during their trip, despite an Aug. 2017 U.N. sanctions designation making that illegal. Upon their return to Seoul, customs found 18 pieces of North Korean artwork in their possession, according to media reports from © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
