SEC. 3234. STATEMENT OF POLICY REGARDING UNIVERSAL
IMPLEMENTATION OF UNITED NATIONS SANCTIONS ON
NORTH KOREA.

It is the policy of the United States to sustain economic
pressure on the Government of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea (referred to in this section as the
``DPRK'') until the regime undertakes concrete, verifiable
actions toward denuclearization, including by--
(1) pressing all nations, including the PRC, to implement
and enforce existing United Nations sanctions with regard to
the DPRK;
(2) pressing all nations, including the PRC, and in
accordance with United Nations Security Council resolutions,
to end the practice of hosting DPRK citizens as guest
workers, recognizing that such workers are demonstrated to
constitute an illicit source of revenue for the DPRK regime
and its nuclear ambitions;
(3) pressing all nations, including the PRC, to pursue
rigorous interdiction of shipments to and from the DPRK,
including ship-to-ship transfers, consistent with United
Nations Security Council resolutions;
(4) pressing the PRC and PRC entities--
(A) to cease business activities with United Nations-
designated entities and their affiliates in the DPRK; and
(B) to expel from the PRC individuals who enable the DPRK
to acquire materials for its nuclear and ballistic missile
programs;
(5) enforcing United Nations Security Council resolutions
with respect to the DPRK and United States sanctions,
including those pursuant to the North Korea Sanctions and
Policy Enhancement Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-122), the
Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act
(Public Law 115-44), the Otto Warmbier North Korea Nuclear
Sanctions and Enforcement Act of 2019 (title LXXI of division
F of Public Law 116-92), and relevant United States executive
orders;
(6) welcoming the interagency review mandated by the
national security memorandum issued by President Joseph R.
Biden, Jr., on January 21, 2021, and entitled ``National
Security Memorandum on United States Global Leadership to
Strengthen the International COVID-19 Response and to Advance
Global Health Security and Biological Preparedness'', as an
opportunity to make appropriate adjustments, consistent with
existing law, to United States and multilateral sanctions to
ensure that such sanctions do not inadvertently hinder
legitimate humanitarian access and travel to the DPRK; and
(7) reinforcing eligibility for special validation travel
to the DPRK related to repatriation of the remains of United
States veterans from the Korean War, as is permitted under
section 208(a)(3) of the North Korea Sanctions and Policy
Enhancement Act of 2016 (22 U.S.C. 9228(a)(3)).
