Narrative summary
The Organization and Guidance Department is a very powerful body of the Worker’s Party of Korea. It directs key personnel appointments for the Workers’ Party of Korea, the DPRK’s military, and the DPRK’s government administration. It also purports to control the political affairs of all of the DPRK and is instrumental in implementing the DPRK’s censorship policies.
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.
