The United States, South Korea, and Japan have announced the formation of a new multinational team to monitor North Korea's sanctions enforcement. This initiative comes in response to Russia's and China's vetoes that disrupted the U.N. panel's monitoring activities. The new body aims to continue the work of the previously disbanded U.N. expert panel, ensuring compliance with international sanctions against North Korea. The team will address sanctions violations and function as a multilateral mechanism amid the UN deadlock.
