| Summary / Abstract (Note) | North Korea is either in violation of, or the target of, more than 13 U.S. laws. Three of these laws have a direct bearing on U.S. economic sanctions against North Korea, which began on June 28, 1950, when the United States invoked a total embargo on exports to North Korea on the basis of the U.S. Export Control Act of 1949. The most favored nation tariffs were banned on North Korea's exports to the United States based on the Trade Agreement Extension Act of 1951, while the Export Administration Act of 1979 allowed North Korea to be branded as a terrorist state when its agents blew up KAL 858 on November 29, 1987. The complexity of existing U.S. economic sanctions against North Korea appears to make it difficult for the United States to unilaterally lift economic sanctions against North Korea without any security concessions from North Korea. |
