The International Bar Association (IBA) and its co-organizer Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights are pleased to invite you to attend a lunchtime panel entitled “Prospects for Passing Tougher Sanctions and Stemming Money Flows that Sustain the North Korean Regime” on MAY 13 (Wednesday) from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm at Miller & Chevalier (655 15th St NW, Suite 900, Washington, DC). A light lunch will be served.
One year after the release of the UN’s landmark Report of the Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in the DPRK, there have been no significant changes in the human rights situation in North Korea. The“North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act of 2015” ( H.R. 757 ) would impose additional sanctions on the North Korean regime, not only to address nuclear proliferation issues and the regime’s abuse of the international financial system, but also to address gross human rights violations.
Issues the panel will examine include:
· Illicit and licit money flows that sustain the North Korean regime.
· Current U.S. and U.N sanctions, and their relative efficacy and shortcomings.
· Additional due diligence that the U.S. legal and business communities will need to conduct if tougher sanctions against North Korea are passed.
Please register by clicking this link (-REGISTER TO ATTEND-) or the appended flyer.
We look forward to seeing you on May 13.
