A Singaporean shipping company previously found guilty of providing financial services which contributed to North Korea’s nuclear-related programs and activities (NRPA) saw its conviction overturned by Singapore’s high court on Friday.

Chinpo Shipping Company Ltd. was found guilty by a District Judge (DJ) in 2015 of breaching Regulation 12(b) of Singapore’s United Nations Regulations in 2010.

Under the statute it is illegal to provide financial services and other resources “that may reasonably be used to contribute to the nuclear-related, ballistic missile-related, or other weapons of mass destruction-related programs or activities” of North Korea.[/p
