Narrative summary
The Second Academy of Natural Sciences is a national-level organization responsible for research and development of the DPRK’s advanced weapons systems, including missiles and probably nuclear weapons. The Second Academy of Natural Sciences uses a number of subordinate organizations to obtain technology, equipment, and information from overseas, including Tangun Trading Corporation, for use in the DPRK’s missile and probably nuclear weapons programs. Tangun Trading Corporation was designated by the Committee in July 2009 and is primarily responsible for the procurement of commodities and technologies to support DPRK’s defense research and development programs, including, but not limited to, weapons of mass destruction and delivery system programs and procurement, including materials that are controlled or prohibited under relevant multilateral control regimes.
What a listing is and is not. A designation is a decision of the Security Council under a sanctions regime. It is not a criminal conviction, and nothing on this page should be read as a finding by a court. Dates of birth are shown exactly as the Council states them — where the record says only a year, only a year appears here.
Passport and national identification numbers are in the source and are deliberately not reproduced. The official list is the authority for any compliance decision; this page is a readable copy and may lag it.
