The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea | [The Root of All Evil: Money, Rice, Crime & Law in North Korea] by Joshua Stanton @committeehrnk | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
On Wednesday, March 29, 2023, HRNK featured its latest report, "The Root of All Evil: Money, Rice, Crime & Law in North Korea" by Joshua Stanton.
"The Root of All Evil" examines the record of UN and U.S. sanctions implementation against North Korea, and it "proposes a long-term, multilateral legal strategy...to find, freeze, forfeit, and deposit the proceeds of the North Korean kleptocracy into international escrow."
"By forfeiting misspent funds and disbursing them for humanitarian purposes," Stanton argues, "a coalition [of like-minded nations] can compel Kim Jong-un to make better decisions with the wealth that rightfully belongs to the North Korean people."
