US eases restrictions on humanitarian and journalism activities in North Korea

Experts welcomed move which means NGOs can more easily conduct educational programs and peacebuilding efforts in DPRK

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced Thursday that U.S. nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) will now be able to conduct a wide array of humanitarian-related activities that were previously restricted, including educational programs, disarmament initiatives and peacebuilding efforts in the DPRK.
