  • Officials Say Flynn Discussed Sanctions
    Officials say Flynn discussed sanctions The Washington Post February 10, 2017 Friday, Met 2 Edition Copyright 2017 The Washington Post All Rights Reserved Distribution: Every Zone Section: A-SECTION; Pg. A08 Length: 1971 words Byline: Greg Miller;Adam Entous;Ellen Nakashima Body Talks with Russia envoy said to have occurred before Trump took office National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country's ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials, current and former U.S. officials said. Flynn's communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election. Flynn on Wednesday denied that he had discussed sanctions with Kislyak. Asked in an interview whether he had ever done so, he twice said, "No." On Thursday, Flynn, through his spokesman, backed away from the denial. The spokesman said Flynn "indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn't be certain that the topic never came up." Officials said this week that the FBI is continuing to examine Flynn's communications with Kislyak. Several officials emphasized that while sanctions were discussed, they did not see evidence that Flynn had an intent to convey an explicit promise to take action after the inauguration. Flynn's contacts with the ambassador attracted attention within the Obama administration because of the timing.

  • China's Role in Dealing with North Korea
    Insights Mind maps General Studies – 2; Topic: Important International institutions, agencies and fora- their structure, mandate China’s Role in Dealing with North Korea 1) Introduction China is North Korea’s biggest trade partner and has the most leverage on Kim Jong-un’s regime. It has helped sustain Kim Jong-un’s regime, and has historically opposed harsh international sanctions on North Korea in the hope of avoiding regime collapse and a refugee influx However, China has ordered North Korean-owned businesses on its soil to close, cutting foreign revenue for North Korea under U.N. sanctions imposed over its nuclear and missile programmes. 2) Background China shares its northeast border with North Korea. China is Pyongyang's largest economic link to the rest of the world. China accounts for at least 85 percent of North Korea's trade despite North Korea's provocations and subsequent sanctions. China has long supported North Korea because it serves as a buffer from US troops stationed in South Korea. 3) North Korea's Nuclear test North Korea has conducted six underground nuclear tests so far Recently North Korea carried out its largest nuclear test and China lodged an official protest. North Korea’s nuclear programme is becoming increasingly problematic for China’s desire to maintain regional stability. 4) Why China wants stable North Korea If Kim Jong Un's regime were to collapse, China would face a massive influx of refugees. Beijing fears that a military conflict could result in china being massively contaminated by nuclear fallout. 5) China's Role No country is thought to have more influence over North Korea than China.

LEGAL DILEMMAS FACING WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION: THE COSTS OF PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF FISA REQUESTS Peter Margulies* INTRODUCTION Not every presidential administration can forge a new brand of government lawyering. Historically, government lawyering has swung between two poles: (1) dialogic lawyering, which stresses reasoned elaboration, respect for institutions, and continuity with unwritten norms embodied in past practice; and (2) insular lawyering, which entails opaque definitions, disregard of other institutions, and departures from unwritten norms.1 Because President Trump regularly signals his disdain for institutions, such as the intelligence community, and unwritten norms, such as prosecutorial independence,2 senior lawyers in the White House have added a new mode of legal representation that entails ad hoc adjustments to President Trump’s mercurial decisions and triage among the presidential decisions they will try to temper.

  • North Korea's Nuclear Weapons and Missile Capability Scott W. Bray Natio
    Speech to the Institute for Corean-American Studies: North Korea’s Nuclear Weapons and Missile Capability Scott W. Bray National Intelligence Manager for East Asia 26 June 2017 Thank you for being here today and allowing me to share some thoughts regarding North Korea. Before I discuss the role my office plays in the intelligence community and the threat posed by North Korea, I’d like to pause for a moment to acknowledge the passing of Otto Warmbier and ask you to remember that there are three other American citizens amongst those North Korea holds captive. As President Trump said on June 19th, “the United States once again condemns the brutality of the North Korean regime as we mourn its latest victim.” NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE MANAGER FOR EAST ASIA As the National Intelligence Manager for East Asia, I work for the Director of National Intelligence and am responsible for integrating the Intelligence Community’s collection, analysis, counter-intelligence and budgetary approach for East Asian issues. National Intelligence Managers also serve as the bridge between policymakers and the Intelligence Community to orient and guide collection and analytic needs. One of my key responsibilities is to identify gaps between what our policy makers need and what the Intelligence Community can provide to close these gaps. With that as my job description, I can certainly tell you that this is an interesting time to work East Asia – especially since my responsibilities include North Korea. There are few issues that garner the same level of attention at the highest levels of government – and few issues have been such a high priority throughout our recent Presidential transition.

  • The Medical Emergency of Otto Warmbier
    The Medical Emergency Of Otto Warmbier There are so many paths to explore to get to the bottom of what happened. 06/22/2017 07:01 pm ET Updated Jun 22, 2017 Dr. Sudip Bose ★Emergency Physician ★Iraq War Veteran ★CNN Hero for treating Saddam Hussein after US capture ★Professor ★CEO ★Leadership Speaker By Dr. Sudip Bose, MD All that the doctors who treated Cincinnati, Ohio resident Otto Warmbier knew is what they had seen or maybe read in the news. They knew he had just been released on June 13 from imprisonment in North Korea where he had been held by for more than 17 months. He had been sentenced in March 2016 to 15 years of hard labor for allegedly removing a propaganda poster from a wall at a Pyongyang hotel where he had been staying. The University of Virginia honors student had been visiting the authoritarian state during a five-day trip with a group called Young Pioneer Tours, which is a group out of China – an important note. Otto Warmbier’s ordeal began on Jan. 2, 2016 when he was removed from a flight that was about to leave Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, by two North Korean officials who explained that he was very sick and needed to go to a hospital. He was not sick and did not need to go to a hospital. He had just been arrested for allegedly trying to steal that poster. Facebook Otto Warmbier Most of us have seen the video by now of Otto Warmbier in captivity from March 2016 – just a couple months after he was removed from the flight – he was alert and made a confessional statement in front of media cameras, where he pleaded for leniency and then broke down crying.

  • STATEMENT UPR Pre-Session 33 on the Democratic People's Republic
    STATEMENT UPR Pre-Session 33 on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) Geneva, April 5, 2019 Delivered by: The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK) 1- Presentation of the Organization HRNK is the leading U.S.-based bipartisan, non-governmental organization (NGO) in the field of DPRK human rights research and advocacy. Our mission is to focus international attention on human rights abuses in the DPRK and advocate for an improvement in the lives of 25 million DPRK citizens. Since its establishment in 2001, HRNK has played an intellectual leadership role in DPRK human rights issues by publishing over thirty-five major reports. HRNK was granted UN consultative status on April 17, 2018 by the 54-member UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). On October 4, 2018, HRNK submitted our findings to the UPR of the DPRK. Based on our research, the following trends have defined the human rights situation in the DPRK over the past seven years: an intensive crackdown on attempted escape from the country leading to a higher number of prisoners in detention; a closure of prison camps near the border with China while camps inland were expanded; satellite imagery analysis revealing secure perimeters inside these detention facilities with watch towers seemingly located to provide overlapping fields of fire to prevent escapes; a disproportionate repression of women (800 out of 1000 women at Camp No. 12 were forcibly repatriated); and an aggressive purge of senior officials. 2- National consultation for the drafting of the national report Although HRNK would welcome consultation and in-country access to assess the human rights situation, the DPRK government displays a consistently antagonistic attitude towards our organization.
