Russia vetoes UN expert panel on North Korea sanctions

Published: 29 March 2024 at 05:07

Russia has vetoed the renewal of a UN panel of experts monitoring North Korea\'s compliance with international sanctions, following accusations of Pyongyang supplying weapons to Moscow for use in the war in Ukraine. The panel, in place since 2006 to monitor sanctions on North Korea\'s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, faces its mandate ending in April. South Korea\'s UN ambassador criticized Russia\'s veto as hindering accountability. The US referred to Russia\'s actions as undermining international peace and security, revealing Moscow\'s alliance with North Korea.
