<p>We meet regularly with other EU member states to discuss how we can collectively
press for substantial change in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
In June, I personally met representatives from the EU, France, United States, Japan
and the Republic of Korea to discuss ways in which accountability toward the DPRK
can be improved. An EU imposed targeted sanctions regime against individuals and organisations
named in the UN Commission of Inquiry report has not been requested as it is not clear
this will lead to improvements in the human rights situation. However, the UK will
continue to work closely with the EU and other partners to ensure focus is maintained
on improving the human rights situation in the DPRK. We intend to work for a strong,
well supported resolution in the UN General Assembly’s Third Committee.</p>
