DPRK Reports

A database of entities and events related to North Korea's sanctions evasion efforts.

The DPRK Reports database contains structured information relating to the activities of entities that assist North Korea to develop prohibited weapons programmes and evade sanctions. The data is sourced from the United Nations Panel of Experts reports, from 2010 to 2023, as well as the associated UN sanctions resolutions.

It includes profiles of the persons, companies, organizations, and vessels that are mentioned in the reports, and contains information such as names, aliases, locations, contact details and sanction designation status. The database also records the relationships between entities and their involvement or relationship to specific events.

The objective of this database is to provide national authorities and private-sector institutions with information that can assist with sanctions implementation efforts such as due diligence and compliance.

The original data contains a rich set of source documents which we've excluded from the entity network we've imported into OpenSanctions.
