Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Sung-Yoon Lee" in English language version.
This morning we are joined by a distinguished panel of experts. (...) Dr. Sung-Yoon Lee, is a Professor at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Known for his ability to turn a phrase, he has written extensively on the Korean peninsula, including a recent piece entitled "Don't engage Kim Jong-un, bankrupt him", which appeared in Foreign Policy magazine.
contrary to the widespread perception that U.S. sanctions against North Korea are maxed out, they are relatively weak. Washington has frozen the assets of most of the top officials of the governments of Belarus and Zimbabwe for undermining democratic processes and institutions, but very few high-ranking North Korean officials overall, and none to date for political repression. The U.S. has designated government officials in Syria, Sudan, and Burundi for human rights abuses, but no North Korean officials. It has threatened and blocked the access of Iran and Burma to the financial system by declaring them to be Primary Money Laundering Concerns under the Patriot Act, but it has not applied this designation to North Korea, the world's leading currency counterfeiter and money launderer. Even after North Korea's terrorist threats against American civilians drove a film that parodied Kim Jong Un from theaters across the U.S. in late 2014, the Obama Administration did not return North Korea to the list of state sponsors of terrorism, a move that would have closed important loopholes in current U.S. sanctions. The new bill that's now on President Obama's desk addresses all these shortcomings and much more. It requires that the U.S. government make a good-faith effort to investigate and punish North Korean perpetrators of nuclear and other WMD proliferation, transfer of luxury goods, cyber crimes, censorship, and human rights violations and their third-country enablers pursuant to 'mandatory sanctions' provisions. In short, the new legislation reinforces U.S. sanctions against North Korea to the level of U.S. sanctions again Iran and several other countries; that is, to a 'normal' degree.
