Details:
- Binding scope: DPRK sanctions are Chapter VII UNSC decisions. Under Article 25 of the UN Charter, they are binding on all 193 UN member states.
- Who isn’t strictly bound: Non‑member entities (e.g., states with limited recognition, certain observer states) aren’t legally bound by the UN Charter. However, most still align or face strong practical constraints because banks, exchanges, shippers, and trading partners in UN member states enforce the regime.
- Bottom line: For practical purposes, there’s no “safe” jurisdiction for sending funds to designated DPRK persons. Even where domestic law is silent, global intermediaries will block or report such transactions, and you can run afoul of other countries’ laws.
