CanKor Brain Trust member appointed to UN experts panel

CanKor extends heartfelt congratulations to Brain Trust member and former UK ambassador to the DPRK John Everard for his appointment to the Panel of Experts created by the UN Security Council in UN Security Council Resolution 1874 (after the DPRK’s May 2009 nuclear test).  The Panel assists the UN Committee established after the first nuclear test (the “1718 Committee”) in carrying out its mandate; gathers, examines and analyses information relevant to implementing the measures agreed by the Security Council; and recommends actions to improve their implementation.  He will be based in New York but will travel extensively because the Panel frequently inspects shipments of banned goods that have been intercepted by member states.
