The expected outcome for this project is increased effectiveness of response efforts by the international community to North Korean sanctions evasion. This will be accomplished through: (1) improved identification of North Korea's illicit activities and actors through advanced open source investigation techniques, including enhanced data collection and analysis of various data sources; (2) more effective disruption of these networks and activities by providing actionable intelligence to law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and other relevant stakeholders; (3) heightened international awareness of North Korea’s sanctions evasion activities and their direct linkages to Russia’s war against Ukraine; and (4) building capacity within official monitoring bodies by providing them with timely and accurate open source information and analysis, which will bolster their capacity to effectively monitor and respond to North Korea's illicit activities.
