The sanctions set is more than impressive, since now, new measures ban countries from buying North Korean coal, iron, iron ore, lead, lead ore and is seafood. In other words, it will cut about a third of the country’s annual export revenue. The members of UN will are not allowed also from increasing the “total number of work authorizations,” and developing business or any joint enterprises with the business partners from sanctioned North Korea.

The international community’s reaction to the sanctions against North Korea

According to the UN resolution, the business activity with North Korean partners will be banned since the moment of resolution’s approvement. The UN countries agree on wanting to stop North Korea’s nuclear development, that’s why the recent UN resolution is so serious.
