U.S. unveils executive order to implement sanctions against N.Korea

New order more comprehensive than UN Security Council's recent resolution, targets labor exports

U.S. President Barack Obama declared an executive order (E.O.) on Wednesday in line with the recently adopted UN Security Council Resolution 2270 and U.S. legislation, including the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016 (H.R. 757).

The executive order released by the White House features sanctions against U.S.-related persons and organizations dealing with North Korean authorities’ activities, including overseas labor exportation projects.
