[Webcast] HRNK Author Speaking Series: “North Korea: Perennial Arsenal of Terror”
The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK)
Joshua Stanton’s HRNK report “Arsenal of Terror” (2015) generated critical information and analysis credited for contributing to the relisting of North Korea as a state-sponsor of terrorism. Over the years, his work has been instrumental in designing the North Korean sanctions regime while paying particular attention to humanitarian exemptions. Joshua Stanton will focus on recent instances of terror by the North Korean regime, including the assassination of the leader’s half-brother Kim Jong-nam with VX nerve agent at Kuala Lumpur international airport, the threat to emigres inside South Korea, as well as the ongoing need for legislation to clarify definitions and process.
