North Korea reiterates proposal for UN to host legal forum on sanctions

DPRK Mission to the United Nations wants legal forum to investigate legality of growing sanctions

The DPRK's Permanent Mission to the United Nations on Thursday circulated a bulletin reiterating a January-dated request that the international institution host a legal forum to analyze the legal basis of mounting sanctions against the North.

The bulletin, which was circulated to 12 U.S.-based recipients, criticized the United Nations Secretary General primarily for describing North Korea's failed missile launch on Sunday as "troubling" and for calling upon Pyongyang to deescalate tensions with the U.S. and denuclearize.
