The Korea Club on Wednesday, March 30, 2016 featured Joshua Stanton who gave a presentation entitled “North Korea Sanctions & Post-Sunshine Engagement.”

 Joshua Stanton is an attorney in Washington, DC with 18 years of  military and civilian experience in criminal and civil litigation and  administrative law. From 1998 to 2002, he served as a U.S. Army Judge  Advocate in the Republic of Korea. In 2006, he testified before the House  International Relations Committee. He was the first to identify and  publish satellite imagery of three North Korean prison camps, Camp 16  (Hwasong), Camp 25 (Chongjin), and Camp 12 (Cheongo-ri). His work has been cited in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Reuters, The Guardian, and The Daily Telegraph, and other sources. His op-eds have been published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Foreign Policy, CNN International, and The Weekly Standard. A 2015 paper on sanctions against North Korea, which was published in The Fletcher Security Review, provided effective recommendations for subsequent action on this issue. Since April of 2013, he has assisted the U.S. House of Representatives, Committee on Foreign Affairs, with the drafting of the North Korea Policy and Sanctions Enforcement Act, which passed both the House and Senate and was ultimately signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2016.
