Descriptions

En sa qualité de représentant de la Corman Construction Company (Tong Bang), une société écran du Mansudae Overseas Project Group, entité désignée par les Nations unies (également connue sous le nom de Mansudae Art Studio), Choe Song Chol participe au contournement des sanctions en violation des dispositions des résolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013), 2270 (2016), 2321 (2016), 2356 (2017), 2371 (2017), 2375 (2017) ou 2397 (2017) du CSNU. Il a dirigé des activités de construction de cette société au Sénégal et a reçu des paiements sur les marchés attribués au MOP et à la Corman Construction; il est donc responsable d’activités financières menées en soutien aux programmes nucléaires et balistiques de la RPDC. Le gouvernement américain a sanctionné Choe Song Chol en 2023 pour des raisons similaires. En mars 2024, le groupe d’experts des Nations unies a indiqué que les artistes liés au Mansudae Overseas Project Group continuaient à exercer leurs activités à l’étranger.

The name order of list entries in Annex 34 (p. 163-164) of the UN Panel of Experts March 2020 report appears to differ, either using the family name first or last, without further elaborations. The name order of this individual on p. 163 might therefore not correspond with the conventions for Korean names used throughout this dataset (Family name; given name). The corresponding passport ID is not clearly legible and therefore subject to revision.
