(VOVWORLD) - The US on Thursday imposed sanctions on 7 North Korea individuals and 3 entities accused of human rights violations.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the sanctions are in line with a State Department report released the same day and the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act signed last February.
UN special rapporteur Tomas Quintana said the recent UN sanctions against North Korea for its missile and nuclear tests may have a devastating impact on North Korea’s people.
